"Before people discovered the earth is in circlar shape, most people and history record believe the world is flat..." why can't these apply to TES series? the world is evolving, so do TES.
Yes, but if we had magic we would evolve differently. Why would a mage decide "I'm gonna study nature and maybe find a spell that will allow me to hold people in place."
or "I'm gonna study nature and maybe find a spell that will allow me to conjure a giant man of stone or some living tree."
You see they already have spells for doing the exact same thing, if you don't want people to move you can paralyze them, if you want to conjure a creature to thump your foes you can do that too. I jsut don't see how it would pay off in the end.
And if you don't find the specific thing that you want use your imagination a little, do you remember back in the day when one would just make their own fun?
I'm planning on making a witch doctor, and I'm using what I got instead of making threads about how you should have been able to make certain stuff, or cast certain spells in order to play one specific type of character.
