I've been really enjoying the game since launch and crafting (smithing in specific) has been incredibly addictive. I can't get my hands on enough ore to keep up with it! One thing I was thinking today as I pounded out a new sword and set of armour for my Dragon Kinght is it'd be neat if we had a "designer" for what we were smithing similar to the character designer.
Hear me out, make it optional with a bunch of presets but if we could select the hilt, cosmetic details, size, etc. Restrict certain aspects based on level, quality, material, improvements like using Rubies etc, and maybe cosmetic packs where it opens up more options but wouldn't this be a fun thing to do? When a smith hammers a sword from molten steel it's their personal touch that makes it their own.
This could add an entire new layer on to the game allowing for some really unique combinations. I imagine creating a sword with a hilt of my choosing, the ruby that I used to imbue it with power sitting on the hilt and a blood groove running down the centre of the blade.
Anyhow, I know it's pie in the sky thought but just wanted to put it out there.
