Oh I didn't realise that. Yes it was a bit strange become ArchMage so easily especially when I don't use much magic myself. It didn't really make any sense.
I'm happy with good armour and a strong bow. Love sneaky one shot kills, then zaapp! "Give me your soouull"
Aye, wouldn't really work in the mages guild in skyrim though since there aren't ranks. The system is basically 'Join as Apprentice, do a couple of missions, passive comment by the Arch-Mage about you being more worthy than an Apprentice, couple more missions, become Arch-Mage'.
Its as if the whole thing was a complete after-thought. You get random directions from a mage order that has vanished with no real explanation, 1 guy turns traitor, again, without any real backstory or explanation (you are basically told what he is and told to accept it...), and people are killed in the most detached way imaginable so you can't help but not care.
I've been saying it for years. I don't care how much effort Bethesda put into the game they are ****ing incompetent when it comes to creating a save system that isn't utterly atrocious. Honestly how much trouble is it to make separate character profiles with individual auto/quick saves like other games use?
Came across another Dragon Priest at the dragon peak north of Fellglow Keep. First time I left my storm atronach to play with the dragon then wandered over to the word tablet... then suddenly got spammed to death by Fireballs. Second time I played with the dragon for a while to level my conjuration, then set about killing the Dragon Priest. About 100x easier than Morokei since he wasn't using an instant hit lightning bolt that could 1 shot me and I could completely block the fireball with Steadfast Ward or just dodge it.
Decided to start a new char anyway. Going for Sneak/Poisons/Archery, should be fun, though atm I'm struggling to find enough arrows to keep me stocked for longer than 5 minutes.
Was that Krosis? I found him a real tough SoaB
Yeah thats the guy. Was quite an easy fight tbh, just long-winded. Ward would block the fireballs if I needed to and they were easy to dodge since he spent the whole fight down by the edge of the cliff. Had to use the Storm Atronach since using a Frost Atronach meant he'd just cast the Command skill and steal it then it was just a case of slowly chipping his health down.
I don't get why they prevented magicka from recharging while casting.
I found the way to beat him way to stay out of his sight while my Flame Atronach traded literal fire with him. If Krosis saw me, he would turn the Atronach against me but if I was hidden behind a cliff and he had no direct line of sight, he would just attack it. Pretty sure I fought him at around level 10 and kept getting my rear handed to me very quickly.
Oh deer
I got a quest to get 10 firesalts for a guy's forge. Kind of disappointed that I can't just summon one, kill it then loot its body. Yes, I tried...
Tested it for you just now. No problems for me going in and out, so it's not specifically 'the game' but either something you've added or something in your save.
I can no longer store any of the items from my inventory either in chests or trading with a companion, is there any reason for this other than yet another glitch? Been able to deal with the rest of the problems so far, feel kinda screwed this time if it is bugged.
You can't? How come?
How best to get pwnd by bandits? Well what you do is, you attack them with a bow as they're closing in, then as you're about to draw back for the killing shot on a dagger wielding mage rushing in with a jet of frost in front of them, you start a conversation with that stupid Fugitive who came out of nowhere, and then in the confusion because you completely forgot about pressing tab to exit dialogue and instead starting spamming left click, you get to watch your character being stabbed by a dagger finishing move!
I reloaded, took his item, ratted him out, then killed the ******* myself.
It's fine now, no idea if that's purely down to restarting the game or because I was switching between TESV.exe and fallout3.exe, very odd either way.

I think you can. Did you try the Winterhold college basement? There was some sort of device there you can summon whatever you want.
Lolwut
Whiterun guard tells me he saw a dragon head north east. I go to investigate.
Find a dragon - SLEEPING - on top of a Word Wall
Sneak skill no match for this wise old beast. *Equips finest items ready for the fight*
Then suddenly I'm shot with two separate fire blasts from behind.
Realise ANOTHER dragon had come in to the frey as well as a high level undead mage I get wtfpwned by three fire casters.
*Legendary ebony armour not built to withstand magic*
On a side note, I'm lvl 37 and have yet to see a higher level dragon than Frost. What's up with that?
