Jauffre and Baurus died for me during the defense of Bruma... is that a bad thing?

[A Harmless Burke]

I never got far in the original Oblivion, and didn't know that Jauffre and Baurus weren't essential (at least until a certain point, don't know when). When I came out of the great gate after recovering the sigil stone needed to open the gate to Mankar Camoran's Paradise, they were both dead. Is this gonna significantly impact my character's playthrough? I'm all for the lore, and having these two important characters be gone is a bit of a bummer.

[xShapelessx]

yes. If they die, you no longer receive the epic, holy legendary blowj0b from jauffre

[drakeloreroar]

No, they're no longer relevant to the story. They will help in the final quest if they're still alive but they remain non-essential for the rest of the game. Martin is also "not essential" but if he dies prior to finishing the story it's game over anyway and the game will treat it as if you died.

They become non essential at that quest. You're like one quest away from the end anyway

I made an area heal spell that healed for 120 seconds. I do have a base of 400 mana on my build so not an option for all. I buffed the entire gang with 1 cast.

None of the good guys died and i entered the big portal asap when it popped up.

I am also pretty good at shooting, but i wont be bragging. They even survived the last part also.

What were the specs for the spell?

3 heal 120 seconds and area 25 i think.

And they stack if you have the same spell with another name if it is really something to worry about.

I could buff my 400 to 1k with a few fortify spells and cast something crazy, but it was not needed.
