How has the potion and spell creation system changed from Morrowind?
Gavin Carter: Both of them have a whole range of changes to address balance concerns that were raised with Morrowind. For one, spell creation and item enchantment are now services that you have to earn by raising in rank in the Mages Guild. Once you’ve progressed enough, the halls of the Arcane University in the Imperial City are opened to you, and the services become available. For alchemy, one new feature is the ability to create a “poison” potion, and apply it to your weapon as a one-shot buff. It’s a great feeling to play a stealthy character stalking your mark, carefully choosing which poison to apply.
