  4. In Skyrim the quest would be "collect 10 hardened leathers" but the seals would only drop leather half the time and then only half the time would it be "hardened" instead of regular...so after killing 40+ seals and depopulating the entire region of all of its seals to make 1 suit of armor you'd realize "damn, I'm a dick..."
