Collage of Winterhold@The Ysmir Collective : V

» Thu May 19, 2011 11:49 am

Skyrim contains a College, the collage of Winterhold. I hope this college functions as a real college with some classes with interesting lectures you can attend (not like the ones in oblivion) and learn something that will help you out in the world, like an anatomy lecture that would help you find the weak spot on a giant for example. I hope the Ysmir Collective which is supposed to be a big library Isn't 2 book shelves and a glass case, the arcane university library was a big disappointment to me.
So how do you guys think the college and library should function/look?

Edit: just noticed I spelled college wrong in the name of the thread........o well

i hope they have a impressive library and college that you can actually learn things from and maybe have some quests linked to them

Curiosity killed the Khajiit.

That and the fact that Khajiit combat is largely based around a removed skill. :whistling:

I just hope it's not like a real life college. Something like the Arcane University would be fine.

They better implement the College of Winterhold in. This is my top skyrim city to visit. :biggrin:

Interesting, Winterhold isn't one of the 5 major cities, but still has a major role.

Winterhold, Windhelm, Markarth, Solitude, Riften?

I hope they have a good work-out room, and also a Queer-group for us non-straight folks. And a sauna.

Seriously, as long as there is a great library there, quest-givers, students and masters, it's okay to me. I don't expect much.

You missed Whiterun.

Its the mages guild.

Yea, you're right. So Whiterun replaces Winterhold. Guess Winterhold will be a large town probably the size of an Oblivion city?

Student: Fellow magister this teacher is boring! All he talks about is dwemer and aylieds.

Mage Scholar: I know just the thing to liven up the lecture.

Student: What do you suggest?

Mage Scholar: This little spell called Stark Reality.

Student: What does it do?

Mage Scholar: You'll find out :biggrin:. By the way do you have some Cyrodiilic Brandy?

LOVE THIS^ And LOVE SANGINE!!!

All that said, I do hope Winterhold has a truly Massive Library. As to spells and training. . . well, there were trainers and spell sellers/teachers at The Arcane University and at all the guilds. And there were alters of spellmaking.

My real hope is that

A. The Mages in The guild will be more respectful towards you as you advance, particularly if you have also developed strong skills in one or more of the schools of magic. :foodndrink: :whisper: :hugs:

B ) That there is evidence of their lore on campus. Daedra like at the conjourers guild, and means for long term summoning them etc. :grad:

bliviongate:

C) A significant amount of items, tomes and lore not commonly found in other towns and cities in the game. :read: :deal: :read: :grad:

Alright sixy thanks, I see what you guys are talking about now <3

Sorry but just to clarify, Winterhold ISN"T one of the major 5 cities? and yet it still has a major guild/building complex. Interesting....I do like finding important places outside of major metropolitan areas

I always liked that TES treated magic like an academic and scientific endeavour, so this would very much appeal to me. Although lack of spellmaking hurts a bit, if they made the College of Winterhold more like a place of education and research, like what they atttempted, and to some level achieved, with the Arcane University in OB, it would take some of that smarting away.

Keep dreaming. This is not a Simulation game.
