[Claudius]

Has anyone tried to play the game as intended?

1.No mods giving +5 attributes. Or other mods affecting balance.
2.No planning out leveling minors to get +5 (which is too tedious).
3.No using minor skills and not leveling up majors giving you an up hand.
4.No other tactics like the first three that are beyond straight class play.

In other words use your major skills most often with the consequence that you level up. Is this possible or is it too much reloads? I am thinking it would be fun, but when I first tried this (having also inexperience with the game) it was too hard.

One thing I think of is that you really couldn't have alchemy as a major. Because the way I play that skill goes to 100 just from making gold off pots.

Also I would think a mage would level fast in conjuration and slow in destruction/restoration for example. I don't have the patience to train by hitting cccc and I think thats cheese anyhow.
