Shadowfang
Arcane
I am retrying Daggerfall for the second time and it made me also play Morrowind.
I am revisiting the idea of doing a pure Mage playthrough. I always read that melee is a must and that both magic and ranged were complementary. This made me want to try beating the game only using mage skills. There are so many tools available that I think I can manage all challenges with the right spell.
If the challenge wasn't hard (I am assuming it is) enough I am also using the Atronach's sign. I did it mostly for the boost in mana but the 50% spell absorb has made me a mage killer. At least at the early levels.
The lack of mana regen can be crippling since it is the only source of damage that I have but I have been managing through the restore magika potions from the mage guild supply chests.
I am focusing on summons where openmw has been helpful since I can pick the option for followers to attack on sight.
Is there a limit to the number of summons I can have at a single time?
I know that I can have more than one through the same spell.
So far its going slow but good. I am still level 2 and squishy as hell. Each fight makes me go through my spellbook. Frost bite instead of fire to get Dunmers, sanctuary against Nordic Barbarians to avoid getting one shoted. I want to get some calm humanoid spells but my spell wishlist is huge and I have little money.
I don't need tips to get rich or exploit the game. I just want to know if any of you did the same and how hard can it get.
