Sounds like a personal problem. I do that just fine in Dark Souls.

So I've been playing this like crazy for the last week or so. Blacksmithing plus Enchanting= craziness. I started with a 40 damage daedric sword. I turned it into a 363 damage daedric sword... and it could be better still. Madness I tell you. I won't go down the rabbit hole that is the alchemy/enchanting loop around, because there's really no need. But it's there if people want it. Theoretically gear could be infinitely upgradable if you keep making enchants to improve your alchemy then making potions to improve your enchants.
I would recommend enchanting to any build though. You can make two schools of magic cost nothing to cast, you can make melee weapons hit harder, you can make it so you never run out of stamina. Not all at once but still It's pretty crazy op. I can cast the highest level resto spells having never spent a thing on mana for no mana cost at all. Which then refill my stamina completely and heal me. I'm running around like a pally in old school wow battlegrounds, I love it. Pretty satisfied with my character BUT, the game seriously needs a re-spec option someplace. If I wasn't happy I'd be kinda shit outta luck.
Protip: If you see a weapon with banish daedra on it break it down at an enchanting station to learn the banish enchant. If you have to buy the weapon, buy it. It will pay you back. Next craft an iron dagger and buy a petty soul gem (fill it yourself or buy it filled, no difference). If you filled it yourself all told the dagger and gem cost you maybe 40 gold in materials. With even a crappy banish enchant it will sell for about 1400 gold. The price you get goes down as your enchant goes up, but it never falls under 800. Dual enchant when you can with stamina drain on hit (second highest profitable enchant I've found) and you will be rolling in dough in no time. I carry around the daggers now and spend them instead of gold when I can.
Only annoying thing is I can't use the daggers everywhere (like an American express card) and the venders I can use them at never seem to have enough money. The speech tree has answers to both of these problems, but then again, what would I do with all that gold?
