Well, I don't think you can get swords longer than a claymore or broader than... Well, not as broad as in Monster Hunter anyways :P You can pretty much measure their length in humans, for crying out loud! But yeah, smithing is a nice addition. A bit surprised you can smith daedric armor, though. Don't you make that by binding the souls of lesser daedra to ebony or something? Or am I completely misinformed here?
