“I can honestly say I love Skyrim with all my heart, but Oblivion’s Mages Guild trumps the College of Winterhold in every way. Yeah, the Atronach Forge is nice, but making your own spells and being able to stick several enchantments on a weapon or piece of armour without having to spam iron daggers enchanted with Banish will always be Oblivion’s finest detail to me.”

I agree with you 100% I miss that so much it made you feel like more of a true mage

Why Elves are so pretentious

elderscrollsexplained:

In The Elder Scrolls, the races of Man and Mer have different attitudes toward life. With exceptions, the race of Man is content with life, ready to appreciate its wonders; whereas, the race of Mer is displeased with their fall from Godhood to mortality, as both Men and Mer are descendants from the Ehlnofey

Man: “We have suffered, and are diminished, for all time, but the mortal world we have made is glorious, filling our hearts and spirits with hope. Let us teach the Mortal Races to live well, to cherish beauty and honor, and to love one another as we love them.”

Mer: “Everything is spoiled, for now, and for all time, and the most we can do is teach the Elven Races to suffer nobly, with dignity, and chastise ourselves for our folly, and avenge ourselves upon Shezarr and his allies.”

(quotes from The Monomyth)
