Imagine it your an arcane caster then you become a lich, your powers increase, sure the villagers will run from you unless you use illusion magic on yourself but who cares.

"You wish to become a lich? It's very easy, my friend. Simply find the heart of a lich, combine it with the tongue of a dragon, and cook it with the flesh of a well-ridden horse. This combination is certain to make you undead."

Ew, they're all.. dead and stuff.

To become a lich you need to be an extremly powerful mage, as liches are basically a powerful mage's way of escaping mortality, by becoming undead. As a lich you would be unable to do any quests (as everything would either run or kill you on sight), thus making it nothing but tideous in the long run. Atleast that's what I think.

if you were that powerful a mage you could make yourself appear as a normal human

No we shouldn't because an "arcane caster" as you like to call them, aren't very fond of liches, Its more a necromancy thing, which will not be in Skyrim.

That's a whole different school og magic, probably illusion. Just because you're a powerful mage doesn't necessarily mean you're powerful in the school of illusion. I'm not even sure if such a spell is possible? It have never been in any TES game, and I can't recall having read about being able to appear human either. I might be mistaken though.

if you've played any old rpg's you'd know that only arcane casters can usually become liches,

There will be necromancy and necromancers just no joinable necromancer faction.

Mannimarco in Oblivion. He was supposedly a lich, but did not appear to be one.

Ah yes, I forgot. I stand corrected then.

I Have played Old RPGs, But TES Isn't an old RPG Is it?
In fact its a completely different universe, just because one RPG Mages can become liches doesn't mean TES Mages can.

... except that the liches you fight in the games are exclusively humanoid spellcasters.

Yeah, They are Necromancers, Not mages.

A Necromancer is still a Mage. Technically a Mage is just someone that specializes in magic.

» Sun Oct 09, 2011 5:17 am

um. no

Yeah, and liches are a Necromancy thing, so hes really asking can we become Necromancers, No.

I'd like to be a tree.

This. A Mage is a generalization of someone who studies magic deeply. A "Necromancer" is but a branch of a Mage's school of magic so, all Necromancers can be called Mages, it just so happens that they specialize specifically in Necromantic magic instead of all schools of magic. But I'm pretty sure those Necromancers know other ways of magic.
