yeah it should of been ... the target healing spell is useless since npc players quest players only get knocked out and u can re summon minions
There are many cases where this is untrue, such as followers from completing guilds, allies in Oblivion gates, high level summons that came from scrolls...
No, this game was not meant to be online, and I think it would have been terrible if Bethesda had done that. I really hope they don't go in that direction.
