being a skilled sneaky person casting invisibility wearing 100% chameleon clothes
calm spell

@icedquinn
Question 1: does calm work on all enemy types?
Question 2: wouldn't you have to recast calm over and over again? Wouldn't sneaking be easier?
I've never had a playthrough were I focused on illusion, so I've never managed to have calm/frenzy spells that would be higher levels than what I was fighting.
this kind of thing is why 'caster level + x' used to be a thing.
in skyrim gg no re since there's no spell creator and you reach a point where there are never any higher level illusion spells to work with.
@icedquinn
Yeah, in Oblivion they really want you to use the spell creator, but it's still pretty bad, cause it takes awhile until you get admitted to the University. So there's still a good chance you outlevel your calm spell if do any other side quests instead of being not laser focused on the mage guild stuff.
never finished skyrim either. always got bored and it felt like the character diversity was significantly less than even oblivion
@icedquinn
Peak roleplay diversity was apparently in Daggerfall. Things have been getting simplified since then. Skyrim has almost reached being a generic action-adventure game with rpg elements, instead of being a full on rpg.
i didn't really get in to daggerfall though. morrowind was the first one i played until my cd exploded in a faulty disk drive.
i couldn't tell you if there is a market for these old style games. i would guess some people still care because we have things like Wasteland and ATOM going at the old formulas.
