    • @Evanski
      @Evanski Před 4 lety +271

      So i looked into it more and found old developer messages (like the messages you get for your character in the top left, but they would be messages for whats meant to happen before they programed it
      Like before the dragon priest fight they have a message that pops up saying dragon priest fight here for now pick up the staff off the ground, these are disabled and unused by default, someone left them in apparently) tolfdir was always ment to throw a spell at you and as far as i know you never throw spells at some npc
      How ever if one of the actors dies it fails to quest
      So tolfdir skips it
      So Bethesda just programmed it that way
      Also all the npcs in the ward quest have speaking lines and quest markers (where to stand and walk to) that would soft lock the scene
      So its more or less a failure state so the game can continue even if your a random npc killer
      Or if the npcs some how died before the lesson quest (unlikely as they never leave that room until after the quest and first spawn in that room)

      You literally need to use basic magic -twice- *EDIT: 5 times!* the entire questline (The Ward at the beginning, and the casted spell in the first dungeon, *EDIT: frost spell on the crystal, the flames spell and the frost spell in labrinthian,* and I don't consider pointing a magic stick "skill in magic"). I always play the same character (Same name, scrawny young orange Khajiit, same build)(Yes I understand how stupid that is). Mostly Melee, some archery, and a little teeny bit of restoration magic (heal and healing hands). And they're just like "Bang, Archmage" despite the fact that no one with any actual magic skill (or brainpower) would call me a "mage"
      I now play with "Immersive College of Winterhold," which makes lots of improvements (mostly architectural), one of which is telling Tolfdir to become archmage instead, because FLIPPING DUH.
      "I'm a wott?" "I'm not a wizard, -Hagrid- *Tolfdir,* I'm just -Harry- *hairy"* are exactly my thoughts.

A learned warrior who understands magic, one trusted by the people, keeping an eye on the college to make sure that things are above board would do a lot to putting peoples' hearts and minds at ease. Furthermore, if they're well-known enough, they could even dispatch the Arch"mage" and students on things like attacking bandit camps to give the students live experience in the field while also ensuring they have a veteran hero on hand to prevent things from getting too hairy.

    All I could think in the beginning part for the 50 gold was "I always hit the hidden treasure chest in the log outside Riverwood on my way through." I've played this game way too many times. I've subconsciously started creating optimization strats for early game.

    These videos are so good I go back and rewatch all of them every few months. You gotta be real good at making videos to give them replay value.

    You could also make it into the college by saying you’re Dragonborn during the main quest after doing Septimus’ quest and then going to Faralda.
