Ok, so I have started a mage, just about to finish off bleakfalls barrow. Hand in the claw, get the quest to go to winterhold, and from there... Some exploring!

Mage? Get Midas Magic and 'destruction magic overhaul' mods from Steam Workshop!

£13.99 seems a little steep to me...

I agree, especially seeing as it seems that it is not quite the major expansion it was originally made out to be. I don't know if it adds anything other than the story additions?....Any new gameplay features anyone?

19.99 euros over here in the ROI :eek:

Evilsod · 2 Aug 2012 at 23:18

I can wait for a steam sale. Doesn't sound like anything major and Dragonbone weapons sounds suspiciously like it was left out of the main game. Its not like I'm playing it now anyway.

Mark A · 2 Aug 2012 at 23:21

I've heard it's 20-25 hours long, so might be worth the money. I don't know if I can wait for a sale.

As soon as I saw that I though they must be having a laugh. That's more expensive than some full release games. Needless to say I won't be in a rush to get this. Anything up to a tenner I would have considered but no way am I handing over €20.

From what I had heard, that was a very generous estimation.

So long as you don't fast travel it takes that long, if you fast travel it only lasts 1 hour*

*Please note this is an estimate extracted from one's posterior and should not be taken as fact.

I won't be, simply because I have tons of original content to finish.

Question, I have got the balance mods for magic, but I am skeptical about midas magic... It just seems... Over powered, is it a case of you buy the books, and then instantly have a bazillion magic spells that 1 hit near on anything? As I like to have some fight.

Omaeka · 3 Aug 2012 at 08:23

They have their own balancing, the stronger spells require very high destruction to learn, such as the meteor shower.

Oh really? Oh thats good then. As I have just unlocked apprentice destruction haha. So don't want to be throwing huge balls of flames at simple bandits. Would just ruin it

I am interested in one spell in paticular. The rooting one, looks brilliant and could be really useful! Spray the floor with it, then attack enemies, DoT is my fave kind of attack in RPG's

I saw somewhere it was about 10 hours? Even less because that was them being generous, someone ive seen said it only lasts 8 hours :eek:

Anyway for that price im not going near it
