When I picture what Nerever Telvanni would look like if he really lived in Morrowind, this image right here is what comes to mind.

Although I think Tel would have at least some chest armor, either Glass or Ebony. He is a Telvanni Lord after all and should look the part.

The image is actually from TESO contest called, 'The Nameless Mage' Contest.

Hey, is the Dragonborn expansion coming out tomorrow for Xbox?
Just caught a snippet of something that said it was.
And spears.
Sadly, I'll be waiting for it for PC release. Which is said to be early next year.
u.u

I've been playing a lot of Skyrim the past week or so though, I hope I don't tire of it before the release on PC...

I'm a little late, but yes Dragonborn is coming out tomorrow/today (Dec 4th) for the Xbox. I had a feeling that Microsoft would not let Beth get away with using Hearthfire as its 2nd piece of timed exclusive content. On the bright side Hero you do have all the nice shiny mods to play with.

Hahah, yeah, but if I'm lucky only waiting until January...
I just really hope they added a new skill tree for spears(I don't think it'd work any other way.)
But yes, I have many, many other mods to try out if I so please.

Hey guys! Been a while, sorry for my inactivity. I've been playing like mad.

I finally decided to bunker down and complete the main questline (I know, I know... The game's been out for more than a year...) But those SIDEQUESTS! By AZURA they're all so cool... Anyhow, I've decided to finally try and get all the mainline quests done with atleast ONE character. Right now, it's looking like my Breton Wizard Silas Swizzlestick will be the one to do it. I just took care of Odaviing and he's flown me to the area which contains the portal to a certain somewhere. I think, after Silas Swizzlestick defeats the World Eater, he'll go down to the College of Winterhold and apply. Or maybe he'll become a Vampire Hunter...

Time for some Good News/Bad News, buddy ol' pal.

Good News? There ARE Spears!
Bad News? They're THROWING Spears.
Good News? There are Throwing Spears.
Bad News? Dovahkiin fires them from his BOW. That's right. Dovahkiin fires THROWING SPEARS from his BOW.

I was kinda afraid of that.
Who uses a bow to 'throw' spears?
I have been disappointed, the rest of Dragonborn better make up for this!

I just want my throwing daggers back, Bethesda... Throwing Daggers, Medium Armor, Spears and ALL the Schools of Magicka you "banned" I WILL PAY YOU MONEY. Bring back my ******** spells... God I miss casting Magic Missile... And creating my own spells... Like my patented "Icy Hot Ray" and "Thunder Stuck" ... Now I've gone and depressed myself... s**t.

Molag Bal's cloaca, I miss my mysticism school in all it's perfection... AND my medium armor. Without it all a Spellsword is is a Battlemage with swords... I miss being a discernible class...

*crawls back to Gaia*

Now that I've gotten a good chunk of the DLC under my belt I've returned and it seems like others have returned as well. DRINKS ALL AROUND!

I debated with myself on whether I should have told you what Nero told you Hero, but I thought that it might be spoilish? Beth have you forgotten that Bonemold is medium armor....not heavy. -grumple-

As for the rest of Dragonborn I have been very much pleased with what I've seen. A little disappointed that I can't have my own Telvanni Tower.

There are a few things I want back (1) Spell Crafting (2) The unlock spell and (3) Night Eye Spell. I find it unbelievable that mage's are expected to use lock picks... emotion_donotwant Night Eye would fit just fine into the Alteration School of Magicka.

Why, in the name of Molag Baal's left testicle is DETECT LIFE an Alteration spell? It makes more sense to be an illusion spell, since Mysticism just up and left. ... I also agree with the unlock spell. Seriously... I miss seeing a hardlocked box, and just... tapping it. Like I'm some magical Fonzie.
PostPosted: Tue Dec 11, 2012 7:07 am




Maybe Beth's logic is Detect Life is a Mage altering their perception of the world to sense the life force of a living creature. Although I'm not sure how the bloody mess the detect undead works, no life force to detect there. Unless its not so much life and instead the power the Necromancer used to raise them?

There were a number of Mysticism spells in OB that went unused, I know that I only ever used Detect Life, Dispel, and Soul Trap.

But still Mysticism is one of the oldest schools of Magica, it doesn't seem right to butcher it and move the spells to other schools that they don't belong in.

"There are layers to understanding all things,' said Sotha Sil. 'The common man looks at an object and fits it into a place in his way of thinking. Those skilled in the Old Ways, in the way of the Psijic, in Mysticism, can see an object and identify it by its proper role. But one more layer is needed to be peeled back to achieve understanding. You must identify the object by its role and its truth and interpret that meaning" — 2920, The Last Year of the First Era

Well... In universe, I think the current state of magic speaks to the lack of understanding and trust of magic in the time after the Oblivion Crisis.

Think about it: It was a terrifying and costly event caused by mages, perpetrated by mages, facilitated by mages, and involved mages on all levels and in all aspects. The public face of the cult was mages. The leader of the cult was an altmer, who are all mages, and they were consorting with Daedra, a thing only mages do. And then it was all stopped by a priest. There must have been a huge backlash against all forms of magic. It's bad enough that there was already so much negative press surrounding mages to start.

Meanwhile, in the real world:

I think it was more of Beth's streamlining. They were trying to make Magic more accessible to the casuals they were trying to pick up. I personally find that insulting to magic players. Magic is for smart and dedicated people. Phenomenal cosmic power is our reward for being squishy and pale.
