Hey /v/, thinking of starting a new character in Morrowind vanilla

Full on mage, no weapons besides staves. Abuse alchemie hard.

Here's a tip with alchemy. If you make fortify intelligence potions, you can drink them before making other potions to make even better potions. In Balmora you can find vendors with restocking supply of all you need to make restore health, stamina, magicka and fortify int, speed potions. Between the mages guild, the temple, and the alchemist, you can get infinite supplies to make damn near anything you want. Your only limit is gold.

I'll give you another hint. Comberry and frost salts makes restore magicka potions and Ajira has unlimited comberry.

Being a turbo mage is one of the funnest things to do in this game, you just have to make your own restore magicka potions because otherwise the game just doesn't give you enough.

Honestly, I only played this game twice, one full playthrough as a warrior, and another play through that isn't finished as another warrior. So thanks for the tip

While we are at it, any mods that improve the experience without affecting performance? No graphical mods

Why be a pure mage when you could be a spellsword or nightblade?

Should I be a high elf or breton?

Because then you just end up as a warrior with really stacked long blade and a bunch of spells you never use because your daedric daikatana kills most things in one or two swipes.

Try to complete as many quests as possible without directly fighting enemies. Specialize in running and jumping and sneaking, try to just avoid combat, and level up by running/jumping and escaping.

If you must fight, only use your fists or throwing weapons (and only carry a dozen or so with you). Maybe have Illusion magic to go invisible. Think of clever ways to neutralize enemies, such as drowning them or luring them into lava/off high places.

Athletics/Acrobatics/Sneak/HandtoHand/Illusion/Marksman/Unarmored/ and then three filler skills.

So is it not worth doing any kind of magic hybrid class?

>>376258202
For me that is the most fun way to play this game.

As a mage just started out with atronach sign, how do I get magicka back this early

summon ghost, let ghost cast weak spells at you, when he stops casting, summon again, repeat until full

not if you sell your potions to the imp in Caldera or the mudcrab merchant
