Memorizing spells Options

[methusalar]

I was reading somewhere that you'd taken out some of the potions that raise Int in an attempt to stop people memorizing too many spells. Is it possible to tweak the game so that if you do this (hit spell limit, drink potion of genius, memorize more spells...), all the spells will be lost once the Int wears off?

I'm not entirely sure I agree with this logic, but I am not about to disagree at this time.

I have found that if people want a higher intelligence to memorize spells, they will do what they need to do to obtain them. Potions of Genius is one way to do it. Shadowkeeper is another. Removing a legitimate source will compell many people to seek less legitimate means.

I have a great deal of respect for Sikret, and will support his decision in this. He has his own vision of how he wants IA to be played, and I'm certainly willing to give it a try his way. It will force me to play more intelligently, and that is part of the charm and appeal of the mod.

Respecting a modder does not mean that I will agree with everthing, but that is always the case when you dealing with intelligent people: they have well-considered opinions. It would be foolish to disregard them, but agreement is not guaranteed.

In any case, I, for one, will play IA. I will do so as intended the first time. After that, I might customize to better suit my own playing style, but I hope to maintain the spirit, certainly.
