#Morrowind summon ancestral ghost full#

Spells are not idiot friendly tools to deal massive damage, instead, you get wide array of effects for every occasion. The action in Skyrim feels better, but mages are extremely dumbed down, so I would definitely say Morrowind is better overall.Д¬lick to expand.The worst part about playing mage in Morrowind is that you have to readjust mentally.ДЇirst, mages are not artillery. I plan on doing Bloodmoon and Tamriel Rebuilt this run too, we'll see how that goes.

#Morrowind summon ancestral ghost full#

The mage's guild quest sends you to get the staff of magnus which makes recovering magicka trivial (ancestral ghost casts the fire spell on you five times and you have full magicka again) and at the end you get the awesome necromancer's amulet. I am even hardcore LARPing it and pretending I don't know where all the shiny artifacts are and it's still easy. Right now I'm actually playing a Breton with the atronach sign and it's quite easy. Also, I would just levitate out of the way and summon golden saints to clean everything up. Later, I had an area spell like Drain Health 100pts for 1s that killed everything. As I recall it wasn't hard or anything, although in the beginning you had to be quite resourceful. I finished Morrowind and Tribunal with a pure mage. Anyone here actually manage to play Morrowind especially with the expansion sets as a pure mage? Which means no armor, no swords, just robes and staves and spells? No machinegunning with enchanted equipments too. BTW even at max difficutly, his spells can't hurt me much, because spells don't scale with the difficulty setting. Though once I moved into melee range, he can pretty much one shot me with his trunk at max difficulty. Ascended sleepers for example is always a joke, because their spells have pathetic damage, are extremely easy to dodge, and they move soooo slowly for melee. I have never played the expansions (always burned out after went through about 66% of the main game part), but I can't imagine how mages can play through the game.Д®ven monsters got suffered too. Tribunal and Bloodmoon creatures all have insanely high health and most of them boast with some (or a lot of) spell reflect or absorption. I think with the expansion sets, mages got the final slap to the face. You're pretty much forced to play as a Breton or Altmer + Apprentice or Atronach sign, and spam magicka potions if you want to rely on spells as your main damage source. Spell damage is very weak too, with Frost Storm dealing only an average of 55 damage over a 10 sec span, while a clannfear has 118 HP, Dremoras have around 160. The worst thing of all is magicka problem, as spell cost doesn't come down with increased spell skill, and there are very little ways to increase your magicka base, and your average magicka isn't particularly high to begin with. Of all the TES games, I thought Morrowind is the hardest on pure mage characters. Though I must admit I'm playing on adept only. Not mention how ridiculously powerful conjuration is.

For the first time in TES history, I do feel destruction magic HURTS when I use them (especially combined with fortify destruction potions) and magicka actually manageble with spell casting cost reduction enchantments. Despite how dumbed down Skyrim is with all stats gone and so little spells to choose from, I'm actually having a blast playing as a pure mage, now level 41 and finished over half of the main quests.
