Yes.

You don't have to use magicka to become an Archmage of the mage's guild. I think only two quests actually use spells like open or sleep. So your character could skip those and still get to 100 rep with the guild by doing the other quests. Then you could enchant a wand or any item with Recall.

Welcome, Belgarim!

Oblivion has a unique leveling system. As you level your character up, your opponent NPCs level up too. So NPC fighter types or magic users concentrate on specific skills while your character may level a broad range of skills. By mid-level for your character, the NPCs may be very ...

Thanks! My character has survived all quests on max difficulty, dead is dead with these spells. Give it a try some time.

My characters are probably chaotic good. If they must steal something for a quest, then replace it with a like item of greater value.

If you summon a lich or skeleton champion indoors and disintegrate their weapon until it is ruined, then they cast it aside. It remains after they vanish, so you ...

If you choose to use the less safe route of invisibility instead of constant 100% chameleon, the game is a lot more dangerous. I prefer to enchant all of my worn gear with Fortify Magicka.

My eight custom hotkey spells are:

1. "Sneaker"- Invisibility and Nighteye for 40 seconds.
This spell is used ...

Yes the "add-on" is just for RP. I also heal the road patrols when possible. Try the safe potion trick to designate usable containers. I checked and I name the potions "01 Safe" so that they stay at the top of the container menu for quick viewing. I have used those very sacks in the Merchant's ...

Actually, curing all the beggars' diseases is a quest add-on I do. If you do the master speechcraft training quest, then you may as well cure the beggars while you're at it. "Thank you, kind Sir."

Azura's quest sends you to the Gutted Cave. Once the quest ...

Imagine no possessions - Have your character carry nothing but perhaps a dark robe to wear for RP purposes.

Be a trophy hunter - My character has collected the dust from 1000 vampires he destroyed. He's collecting robes from Necros and Conjurors now.

I beg your pardon - Help those beggars! There ...

Did you talk to a normal guard first, who told you to go see Matius?

"After your third offense, you are permanently expelled from the Mages Guild...If you are Arch-Mage it is impossible to get permanently expelled; you just receive a normal bounty for any offenses that you commit."

So you need to collect the items, flowers, hearts, etc., to complete the bounty. Have ...

There once was an Enchanter with a scroll.
To jump really high was his own goal.
His high hopes went not well
And he suddenly fell.
His health paid a very, heavy toll.

I've destroyed over a thousand vampires and I collected their dust. I also collect slain necromancer and conjuror robes (400+).

Summon a skeleton warrior and then you can fight it normally. After three hits, it becomes aggressive. Just summon another skeleton and repeat.

Nice work! After more than a decade of the game being played, you have established proof of something new. I suppose that having extra fatigue is like your character on amphetamines.

Nice find! There's a secret of the game mechanic that I've never seen before. I wonder if that increase of 50.5 would break a character's weapon? I can't wait to try that out.

Ciao for now.

Or not.

"The maximum fatigue score is the sum of your current Endurance, Strength, Agility, and Willpower. Changes to any of these attributes has an equal change in your overall maximum fatigue score; attribute increases past 100 continue to ...

Here's the official explanation:

Good luck!

I've played mage types at max difficulty, Dead is Dead and had no problems, so yes very survivable.

Some players grind up their magic skills with simple 1 second spells to gain levels quick. I prefer a more profitable approach. Make custom spells for "Summon Ancestral Ghost for 12 seconds", "Trap ...

Alternatively, you could choose Major/Minor skills that you don't intend to level up. Your character could max out the miscellaneous thief skills and still be a first level character. I tried this myself and I believe you can do 90% of the game at character level one. Good luck!

This has some good advice:

If you're planning on a long game, it might be worth your while to become a Master in Mercantile. You can either grind this skill to 100 or simply pay the Mercantile Trainers to raise your skill 5 levels for each level you ...

Summon a skeleton.
Cast invisibility on self.
Enter sneak mode.
Sneak around the skeleton.

People have played the game with very low skills, so I wouldn't start over just to redo that. With 100 in Conjuration, just summon a Skeleton and use it as a punching bag. That way, you don't have to go anywhere special. Iron weapons should allow you to max all of those skills. Let the skeleton beat ...

If you have been playing for a few years, you may know that an alchemist in Balmora sells Mark potions. That would be your cheapest solution.

Or you could start with a cheap Mortar and Pestal and buy only Marshmerrow and Wickwheat (one coin each) to make Restore Health potions. Sell the potions ...

I use a spell, "100% Chameleon on touch/Detect Invisibility on self" for as long as you can make it. You can see your companion abut no one else can, even if he attacks.
