I want to make my 3rd playthrough character a Khajiit mage, but im not sure whether this is a wise idea or not. I know that acording to lore that Khajiits are not experienced in magic, but i simply dont know how to fit them in otherwise. My idea is to make a Khajiit sorceror, trained in hand-to-hand combat, (refering ofcourse to the Khajiit's claw attack ratial ability) Think mortal combat style. Also taking inspiration from the Khajiit beside the river screenshot. Am i wise to do this, or should i rethink my Khajiit's character?
Yeah, it doesn't matter anymore. You start out with the same amount of Magicka as everyone else now. If anything, you'll gain more levels than the actual magic users.
Thats the beauty of ES, you can play any character you want and there is nothing stopping you. Of course they probably won't be as useful as Altmer or Bretons but still after a couple of levels it won't really matter.
