Racial/Class factions and abilities

Post » Tue Dec 08, 2009 12:19 am

I remember hearing people talk about the ability called the Thu'um and how it would be cool if there were some special quest to get it if you were playing a Nord. Then some people complained it wouldn't be fair to people playing as other races.

Well, what's wrong with that? I think it would be cool to have things like that in the game. Abilities and factions that only people playing as a certain race or class can join or attain. Like you should be a mage to join a mage guild or you should focus on you'r warrior abilities to join a warrior guild. Mabe if you'r playing as a combo class like a spell sword or a battle mage or something then cool but I don't think you should be able to use magic or at least not a lot of it if you'r not a magical class and I don't think you should be able to do everything in one play through or with one character, race or class. It was kinda weird that everyone no matter who they were could cast a fireball.

But it's not about what I think. It's about what the community thinks. Let the opinions fly.

I know it sounds kinda harsh but if you'r not playing a Nord then tough cookies.

I'd love that ability myself even though i'm probably gonna go with a Dunmer at first but that's what multiple characters and playthroughs are for.

Anyone can learn magic in the TES universe (from the playable races that is)

Thu'um is not something one can just learn. To my understanding it takes a very long time and is far too powerful to be used in close vacinity to other people. Other than that, I mostly agree with what you said.

Eh, I can see you'r point. Maybe it only works once a day? And it shouldnt be easy if it's so powerful. I'd love to feel like I earned something like that.

And about the magic thing. Yeah yeah, I know but aside from racial traits or magic it just seems weird from a roleplaying standpoint to have fireballs fly from the hand of m warrior.

I would however gladly take the option to delete spells from the spell book. I could just get rid of them or something. :twirl:
