Ask an Imperial BattleMage!

Post » Sun May 01, 2011 7:34 pm

Note: This was very popular a while back, and Ive been asked to bring it back. It doesnt follow my character in the game anymore, but I will still do Q&A in the character of an Imperial Battlemage patrolling the Arcane university.

Thanks for bringing it back!

Now, time to return to your questioning...

-How come they only recruit Imperials?

-How come you accept bribes for people to like you, but not to let people go when they've commited a crime?

-If your uncle Jack helped you off a horse, would you help your uncle Jack off a horse?

O thats nice. Listen I was asked specifically by Holy Assassin to bring back my in character Q&A.

I made one silly topic, the other was a legit question about how the command spells level. Thats 3 topics total and hardly flooding. I refuse to participate in flame wars, so you can play nice or be ignored. Have a nice day.

Indeed, the Q&A topic was the freshest, and best I've seen in a long time, and thought it would do well to be brought back. If it is ever required,
I myself shall step up and open an "Ask an Assassin Q&A" topic, they're fun and entertaining.

Its the IMPERIAL guard. Perhaps in Skyrim you will encounter the NORD Patrol.

How come you accept bribes for people to like you, but not to let people go when they've commited a crime?

I got a girlfriend to pay for and take care of back at the cabin. I cant let evil doers be set free once in jail, but they do have the option to pay the fine.

If your uncle Jack helped you off a horse, would you help your uncle Jack off a horse?

HA, why you are seemingly encouraging this charade is beyond the scope of reason. This whole thread is just dumb.

That being said, my original concept was simply to give gameplay advice in character, and I still do that, but mostly people just want to have... FUN?!?!

Trolling? That's rich considering this thread is blatant spam and doesn't mean anything. I mean, all the Imperial Battlemage does is stand around with a stupid expression on his face and isn't involved in any storylines or events in Cyrodiil. Probably the most dull character and why you're making out you are one and pretending this scenario is 'back by popular demand' is farcical. Funny BS, but BS all the same.

Easily Battle. The Mage skills I know are just to help me in battle.

Examples:
Conjuration: I use the stronger conjured Weapons as opposed to conjuring distractions
Destruction: I use weakness to (insert element here) but rarely cast actual fireballs
Restoration: I rarely cast heal wounds (I use the waiting) Use this for things like Fortify Fatigue
Alteration: My favorite I dont use it for much locks or water walking, but rather for things like Defend and the various elemental shields
Mystism: Dispel and detect life when hunting game.
Alchemy: Eternally useful in general for quick heals, buffs, and anything else you could want.
Illusion: Ya know.. I dont use this much at all. Just for better deals at stores (Charm)

So you see I have mage disciplines but they are all directed toward being a more effective warrior, rather than the way a traditional mage would use them.

10 topics in first five pages of this forum.
Not quite flooding but still overkill.

As you can see in the above post, it does sometimes lead to useful input in gameplay terms which is closer to what I originally wanted to do with it. And the original was 5 or 6 pages long, so it was quite popular.

Now you have a nice day and I will go pray at the altar of Sithis Chapel of Mara for you.

I was under the impression this was a discussion forum... :hubbahubba:

furthermore, most of them are not topics I started to day, or bumped without reason. Other people talked in them and I make it a habit to go back and address people who are kind enough to comment on my topics. There is a strong gameplay discussion occurring in one of them. Your like the people who go on youtube to comment about how much you dont like the video you just searched and watched. Now, youve warranted much more space than was necessary consider it a favor and kindly piss off.


I WILL NOT BE ACKNOWLEDGING TROLLS ANY FURTHER, IF YOU ARE A TROLL SEE ABOVE^

If the mods deem it spam, it'll get locked. So far it hasn't, and I'm sure more than one mod has seen this thread by now. So I think your point is redundant.


Zakarius, why have I only seen two Battlemages in the wild? Surely you could do a better job than the legion are doing?

Some battle mages are proficient in Illusion and travel under the cloak of invisibility. The eyes of the Empire are everywhere and how else would we know all the things that we know so quickly.

I'll take your 'argument' with a pinch of salt, considering your entertaining this dumb spamfest of a thread.

I actually gave a good comment to another poster on here tonight. He made a great little battle sequence and posted it up on youtube. Why not do something worthwhile instead of making so many dumb threads that don't go anywhere?
