8 More Video Games You Can Break By Playing Perfectly

8. The Enchanting Loop - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Not every way of breaking a game involves you hitting level 100 when there were only 99 programmed so everything breaks down in the code.

This is a pretty famous example of breaking the game that could be most closely classified as an exploit but it uses systems the game already has in place so it’s not like you’re cheating. Though you might feel like it when you become an untouchable godlike Dragonborn as a result.

The Enchanting Loop involves using the fortify enchanting potion to increase the fortify Alchemy enchantment which thereby makes an even better fortify enchanting potion. Drink that, then enchant fortify alchemy gear, do this a few times over, blend the whole shebang with clever smithing and enchanting your gear and you can make armour with such good health regen nothing can touch you and weapons that one-shot anything you point them at.

This also trivialises vendors because the item is worth a fortune so all of a sudden you’re rich and the game is totally destroyed, but boy did you look cool doing it.
