Oblivion Remasteredgives players numerous options when it comes tohow they should start their adventure. One such option is for those fascinated with the numerous schools of magic. The Mages Guild questline does not require players to have chosen a magic-focused profession.

Players who choose to be a dedicated warrior or thief can overcome all the obstacles with a magic weapon and some potions. However, those that have chosen to be one of these other options might be more interested injoining the Fighters Guildor the Thieves Guild.
