Repairing: Boring, Tedious, or Immersive?

We’ve all had those moments. You’re out exploring the land, when suddenly a Cliff Racer or Wolf jumps out and ambushes you! You draw your trusty blade, but wait! You forgot to repair it, so after a single hit, it brakes. But never fret! You&rs...

Starting a Bard's Tale Bard in Oblivion - seeking advice

I recently have began playing The Bard's Tale, and I like it.
I have even thought about a Bard in Skyrim - but that's too obvious (Solitude has the Bard's College, after all.)

Best Mods And Mod Organizer For A Morrowind Noob?
