Arvak's mana cost to summon needs to be decreased

Post » Wed Nov 21, 2012 12:39 am

I don't want to equip an item because 1) what makes him cool is the looks, not that he can be summoned which is stupid and I shouldn't have to equip something and 2) equiping an item means I need to first find said item which will likely not be better than other equipment I've made (since imo, all the best gear is made smithing, then upgrading. I don't use enchanting because I don't want to have to refil everything) and 3) to fix the last problem I'd have to grind enchant since I'm pretty sure mine is under 20 and probably won't be able to add enough magic to be helpful. I might do that anyways since I'm nearing 100 for all the stats I've chosen to use and don't really want to stop leveling/upgrading things, but I still want a permanent awesome looking undead horse. When I saw the screen shot of it I got excited and thought it was awesome, so finding I can't even use him is a huge dissapointment.

What I don't get is why so many of you are opposed to this one little change. It won't unbalance things, it will just allow those of us with a non-mage focus to use him without hassle, so why are so many of you so hostile to the idea of it being changed?

You can summon him without having increased your original magicka level and just use an enchanted item to fortify your magicka, or you can increase your magicka level to the pathetically low level the conjuration spell needs, they made it easy enough. You have no interest in increasing your magika in any way, if you are so against using magic, you get no Arvak. Why would a character so against using magic expect to be able to conjure up a magical horse.

It's not a big deal, just take a few levels in magic, even if you are a dedicated warrior or rogue. A little versatility goes a long way.
