I don’t get how you can without having to do the one spell to be allowed in. or is that a different elder scrolls?

With how weak destruction is, and how unreliable summons are, it’d be a miracle for someone to actually complete the questline without resorting to slashing, clubbing, stabbing, arrowing or fisting things

I miss when advancement had a skill component, not just a quest one.

I was fresh out of the box and had just popped my head out of the tutorial. The storyline naturally tried to guide me to that first town but I took a left turn. I said “I want to be a mage!” and looked at the map. Oh look there, a college! I wandered my happy ass across the map at level 1, learning that giants were not friendly the hard way, but eventually made it after a few saves and reloads. It was a fun way to start the game.

“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”

What I liked about the College questline is how at the start you get treated as an actual student going on an expedition, but you make it ten steps into the dungeon and some ethereal mf shows up and tells you you’re the Chosen One of Legend.

Like bitch I know I’m the Dragonborn just let me larp as a normal ass dude for once.
