By the quests of the University per se?

I felt the quests were pretty cool, but the university lacked a lot of things, like more people, more rooms, more class rooms, an actual Mages council, etc. There are mods that add these things though

Including our very own Giskard's Origins of the Mages Guild, I believe. You can check out the expansion in this LP even. :wink:

I was not disappointed by the library, but the naming of rooms threw me off(do i make spells in the lustratorium or praxographical center?)

I think a lot more magic use should've been included like the riddle in the ruin where you cast the spells on the pillar that eventually opens up.

I was more disappointed in how unrewarding becoming the Arch-Mage was...combined with a below average "campus", lame faculty, and even lamer students...yea...disappointed would be a good word.

Another of the things that disappointed me was not being able to reassign personnel, replacing inept Guild Hall heads with solid performers. The guild came across as being weak and directionless in a lot of areas.

I hope the way Bethseda implement guilds in Skyrim is better than what Oblivion had. (At least they tried a little bit with the Fighter's Guild, but that, too, fell short.)

Pretty disappointed with the facilities, like when you get access to the upstairs area, and you're like "omg I get to go into the council of mages room!!1!" And then you go up and it's like "wtbf, my prison cell was cooler than this ._."
It wasn't as epic as it could've been.

Oh well. At least the university doesn't have an irate elf spouting insults and threaths. :P

But it does come from arrogant instructors not paying attention to the fact that you are a student at the Arcane University... I hate teachers that play favorites...
