Vanilla Archmage

For those who don't want to play CoW anymore, a level 1 inexperienced Archmage with no experience.

I often play mages. I also like the messed up load order, so I made this series of saves just in case I ruined the save by launching the game through Steam instead of MO2, so I'm fairly confident this is clean. Archives contain saves at various locations along the quest line.

With level 1 and no experience, you should be able to use showracemenu and change it to your favorite character without ill effects. Apart from the love triangle and Brelyna's quest, no other quests (except Unbound) are completed. Faendal and Brelyna are the minions because they are easy to get and do all the fighting for me. Directly from Riverwood to Winterhold. (One of my frustrations. I find that most Archmage saves involve many other completed quests). All Archmage gear was in the inventory on the last save.

Download, extract the contents into your Saves folder, and enjoy!

I play mages a lot. I also like to mess around with my load order a lot, so I made this set of saves in case I corrupt my saves by launching my game through steam instead of MO2, so I'm fairly confident this is clean. The archive contains saves from various points of the questline.

With level 1 and no experience you should be able to use showracemenu and change the character to your liking with no bad effects. No other quests (aside from Unbound) completed aside from the love triangle and Brelyna's quest. Faendal and Brelyna are followers, because they're easy to get and do all the fighting for me. Went straight from Riverwood to Winterhold, pretty much. (one of my frustrations. Most archmage saves I've found involved many other quests completed). All archmage gear are in inventory in the last save.
