All these time i am playing semi magical warrior type who use sword and magic, so i don't care much about staff. Now i am playing a pure mage and i need a staff.
I realized that there are no staff in early game to begin with, only the ugly Goblin Shaman Staff found in tutorial. Staff in Rindir's Staff are expansive and are not interesting either. And Mages Guilds didn't sell staff. It is frustrating. What good a Mage Guild that not selling Mage Staff?
In other topic there saying we will eventually meet necromancer with staff at level 5, but even so, it is LEVEL 5! Rising level up to 5 change the game, and for low level Mage it is a suicide.
Finding staff is not as easy as finding all other weapons. So for role-playing a generic Mage with staff cannot be acomplished as early in the game. It is easier for warrior type character to be proud walking with a sword or a mace, but what about Mages?
I have to carry the ugly big Goblin head staff all around Cyrodill until finding new staff to replace it, it is embarassing i don't want anyone to see me carrying a freaking staff all around....
