ugh, i didnt fully elaborate on this materials balance either. it involves more than just stripping the leveled list and telling players "go mine shit"
the option to mine is always there, but its not something you can rely on because its just too scarce, and the world is too large. but finding a mineral deposit definitely would be rewarding. something more appreciative.

anyway the world does a great job of placing set items and materials spawned on enemies and in dungeon loot. it just needs some minor tweeking. glass armor and ebony weapons show up too early. thats it.
and there needs to be some additional attention to detail on manually editing more than a few locations and materials/weapons availability.
the rest is already there, skyrim has a lot of great balance naturally, as it is.
it just needs to be brought out some
