I'm always annoyed when there are items in a game which were obviously created by a person, not some supreme being or god, and you cannot yourself create something equivalent or similar even if that creation would take a lot of work.

Mods could rectify that.
Oh I know. I already have several crafting mods installed which let me make versions of the thieves guild armor, etc.

Just annoys me because the game is telling the player "Sure you can craft, but you can never create something as good as or similar to this item no matter how hard you try!"

Arrows, for instance.

Speaking of mods, anyone have a link to a good no essential NPCs mod? I just want to destroy the world.

That makes IC sense though. Yes, you the main character, is a talented SOB. However, especially in Elder Scroll series, you aren't the only talented SOB. Thusly, there are sobs which can out do you, in some specialized matter.

Now arrows, on the other hand, I do find annoying. But... at the same time, from the crafting supplies already available, the supplies needed for arrow crafting don't exist in vanilla. You dont really gather wood (there firewood, but that doesnt mean that its good for arrow.), and there no fletching materiels. Plus, I bet there some oddities with how many arrows you should be getting with the supplies.

This makes me think what kind of DLCs Bethesda or steam will try to sell us.

Dude, that is hardly relevant - this is a game where you sharpen mauls at grindstones to somehow make them "better". Abstraction is king, there is no reason arrows couldn't have been made at a forge.

I recall there being a few feather ingredients (Hagravens come to mind), but not enough for proper fletching. That would have to be implemented in a mod of some kind. Though the player also produces bottles out of his/her arse, so...

The mod Nevyn mentioned allows for Smithing of Arrows.
To get feathers, dismantle arrows.  :P
