No, give us real meaningful progress that has to be earned. And if we become leader, let us do something with that. Don't just end the questline there. Give us options on how to operate the faction.

[@asturias0267]

I already know the answer to this after watching a 6 hour deconstruction of Oblivion. The mage guild questline in this game sucks major ass. Morrowind did it WAAAAY better. The only really good guild questlines in this game are the thief guild and dark brotherhood. So much wasted potential

[@dazcarrr]

thieving and stealth based quests are probably the most unique ones since the gameplay of stealth is much more separated from the other two core skills, which kinda just blur together into "combat." that's also the problem with the mage's guild questline. it's basically just another combat questline, but with a few bits of magical theming and the expectation that you'd do it mainly with spells

[@Wh173c0c0]

Skooma Steve has returned! Watching him go into turbo mode and break the game's logic was hilarious. We're supposed to be ambushed on the Anvil recommendation?

Just think about the recommendation quests. Each local guild leader basically asks you to do them a personal favour. The members keep playing pranks on each other like children. But then, the college of Winterhold in Skyrim is basically just a bunch of people pretending to be a formal institution. They do anything but their job. There is a guy who dwemers himself with keening. Then the apprentices who died out in the world due to lack of any oversight. The guy who turned himself into a floating ball of light. The daedric hand underneath that caused the death of four apprentices. People openly saying they want the arch mage replaced. A fence for the thieves guild. Tasks to repeatedly summon a daedra and bully him into getting you a sigil stone (those things that open oblivion gates!!!) Tasks to cut scales from a dragon. Almost as if they want everyone gone.
