Am I the only one who finds this one of the most badass features in the entire game? In Oblivion, you could become the Archmage of the Mages' Guild without a sweat on the brow, and just about two people would acknowledge you as such.

Here, spellcasters will challenge you on the street to see who is truly the best. Come on, how epic is that?

Thank you, Beth.

Now, a mage tower.

- And yeah, don't ask me where this was confirmed - but it was back when gameinformer did their exclusive coverage, so a good 9 months back in time.

Entire cities will be wiped out by dueling wizards.

This should be fun.

Not only Magic but people will challenge you in Warrior type skills as well

will be extremely fun.

Just image, some Wizard Challenges you and you use this spell http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLLJwInYhd0

Hm, (that's kinda apoiler, but I didn't mind. ). I expect your character being good with (certain) skills will cause these challenges (i.e, destruction, one handed, etc) to appear.

I knew about weapon duels, but not magic....that's just....sweeeet!!!!! I wonder if a cookoff or blacksmith challenge could occur too (heh, probably a stretch....mods mabye).

lol what they get from me is a hell of allot of whoop ass!

starting with lighting storm/dragon/ 2 atronach's/ my companion/ my horse/ and after that they can try to bash my barriers and wards!

and all of that without breaking a sweat!

and if he is still coming i will SHOUT push him away and whoop his ass again
