How to... Options

[Elendil]

Yo!

I'm getting a little bored with Oblivion...it's getting tedious when all Quests are alike. Into cave - slas'ndash - out of cave. Into Ayleid ruin - runaround - out of Ayleid ruin...

I want to try something different.
Can someone tell me how to create the meanest baddest mage possible.
i want like a gazillion magicka...you get the drift...

Don't bother with Marksman, since you have Destruction. I would suggest maybe taking Block instead, or another magic skill. Don't bother with a melee skill either if you plan to be a magic heavy character.

You can use the duplicate items glitch/cheat to keep a small cache of Repair Hammers, even though you won't be skilled. It will help you keep staves in good condition, for blocking possibly, as well as your heavy armor, and it will give you more points to put into Endurance for level up. The quicker that goes up, the more hit points you'll have, and hit points are always good.

Also, you may not need to drag around a bunch of Welkynd Stones once you get good enough at Alchemy. You can probably make fairly decent Restore Magicka potions, and they'll be lighter by as much as ten times.

And since you don't seem to mind a bit of cheating, duplicate alchemy components to raise your Alchemy skill quickly.
