So, my necromancer needs a goal, a purpose... : V

Beyond killing random people and reanimating their corpses that is. Fun for a while, but then it starts to drag. I need something to do, something long term, something to aim towards. Was thinking about getting more powerful and then launching an all out assault of the Vigilants... Or maybe something to do with the halls of the dead... But I'm not sure. Anyone got any ideas?

Cheers.

An attack at the Vigilants sounds good, you should also try and do Daedric quests. Not saying it's necessary but some of them are pretty fitting for a necromancer, plus a DQ in Markath involves the halls of the dead, and another near Winterhold involves necromancers. Don't want to spoil it completely.

Also, more tips on some DQ: :happy:

Thanks for the reply - I probably will get around to doing the Azura quest at some point, but at the moment my necro is weak and pitiful (as he's supposed to be); it'd be a bit beyond him. I suppose I could just focus on becoming powerful, but that would involve doing things (randomly questing for xp and coin/buying spells off people my necro would have nothing but contempt for) I don't really want to do for RP purposes. Which means... I kind of need something for him to do now. An interest perhaps, related to a particular form of necromancy. But I can't think of anything.

An RP purpose? I usually RP as a guy searching for Umbra.

No, well, it's like... So I've got this character in my head. (And on-screen to a certain extent). He's a creepy skinny Argonian necromancer. Really weak (Every time I level I just add magika, so he has zero health). But I don't know what to do with him. In Skyrim I mean. He's evil, sure, but he's not Dark Brotherhood evil. He's a mage, but comes from Cyrodil and distrusts organised magical institutions - no to Winterhold then. Thieves guild, main quest, civil war, companions, none of that would hold any interest for him. Same with most of the daedric quests. Which basically means I have to make my own entertainment. And that's where I'm struggling. So...Does anyone have a link to all the extra necromancy-related quests? Or some ideas for my necro's evolution? I suppose I could give him an additional interest besides necromancy...but I'm not sure if I want to.
