this is about as broad as i can make it. oblivion lacked consequences for your choices short of wholesale slaughtering of an entire guild it didnt matter who you joined cause everyone would take you and didnt care what your skills were. this was especially annoying with the mages guild and the thieves guild who both should have the resources to know if you the leader of the dark brotherhood. this has been covered ad nausuem but what i havent seen a specific poll on although its been mentioned in a couple of magic related threads was differing magic pathways.

i would like skill sets which precluded other skill sets. if you a necromancer you would get access to powerful necro spells but you wouldnt be able to use "good" or "light" spells such as healing or.......well light spells. a necromancer would instead have nightvision instead of light and leech instead of healing. its cliche but you get my point. this has been done in other games and frankly is more fun than the oblivion "have it all now" system.


:facepalm: i svck at making polls..........could mod delete this.....thanks.

ha ha ha, i feel ur pain... i svck at it too, so i gave up (not that anyone would miss a poll of mine).

The whole point of these games is the freedom they offer. If you want to roleplay a necromancer that can't use those spells then by all means do and don't use those. Similarly if you want to play a goody priest who won't touch conjuration of undead or deadra then do so again just by ignoring the spells you don't want. You can even rename the spells "Light" or "Dark" so and so and never use those unless your character gets tempted by the power of the other side and secretly stats using the "fobidden" spells. You see where i am going. Your imagination is the limit
