Trying to make a thief/mage hybrid...

Just outta curiosity why avoid willpower?

 

Well, It is far more useful enlarging your Magicka pool from the start. You have alternate ways of restoring magicka than Willpower. Ex: potions, Welkynd stones, spell absorption. But the only way of increasing your total magicka are: Intelligence and Fortify Magicka enchantements.

 

In any case, I was just talking of the favorite attribute, which is boosted from the beginning of the game. Of course you will need to increase Willpower during the game but, again, Intelligence, has to be your primary focus.

 

And, above all, this is just my opinion ! :)

Well here is what I ended up deciding on. It is working out really well so far:

 

Name: Magief

 

Spec: Combat

 

Abilities: Int & Str

 

Skills:

 

Blade

Light Armor

Block

Destruction

Restoration

Illusion

Mysticism

 

Now what I did is sit in in a wall first thing off for a while till I reached expert sneak. Then I went and did the mage recommendation quests so I got access to enchantments & spellmaking. Then I am working on alteration(leveling up fast) for my lock issues =) along with conjuration to help along with baddies. So far so good.

Okay understand this. You can play the thiefs guild, the mages guild, the darkbrotherhood and the fighter's guild without it affecting your class, race ect. ect .ect.

My advice to you is create a custom class to your liking because the game so no matter what class you are your not gonna get unbalanced unless you cheat. if the game gets to hard or to easy adjust the difficulty slider a bit. Also if you want a balanced character pick 2 skills from each area, like heavy armor, blade, Sneak, Destruction, illusion, light armor and Marksman. And readjust and tweak it. The games has an infinite possibilties and unless you cheat your not gonna unbalance the game.

 

Plus i guarantee if you like the game yer gonna have more than one charatcer.

 

And spell Mageif like this, Majiev, You'll know what it means and isn't to preschoolish.
