ok so i started as a mage and im pissed

game way to easy and i never take damage on max diff

dragons on the other hand are F-ing un beatable unlike everything else

dragon priest way too easy as well

enchanting...keeps me too rich... now i have like way more than i can spend... and two houses...

i went threw the game in so little time it was ridiculus

its not fair i notice that quest for mages are very different from other players quest...even if u talk to the same ppl....

using magic was not challenging at all i dont know what problems yall were having but all u have to do is conjuration and restoration (heal all fighters and conjurations)and never travel alone-get married and go to college nothing can stop u after that. Enchanting helps with funds speechcraft as well. still cant figure how to beat dragons tho... stilll i say its harder hacking and slashing(which i dont do)

Skyrim has been named Game Of The Year by the Spike Video Game Awards!!

That's funny. I found dragons to be incredibly easy to fight- getting their attention, on the other hand...
And anything with a significant amount of health or in great numbers tends to be difficult, since you end up running out of Magika before they die. Other mages also like to cause trouble.
The Mage's quests were actually pretty bland in comparison to the Dark Brotherhood's, and didn't offer the huge gameplay change of becoming a werewolf, like the Companions.

I agree actually, the worst thing to go against as a mage is something with a ton of health. I ended up needing alot of magicka pots. And dragons were generally easy for me too. As for the mages quest, ya there wasnt much change in the end, i did however like the archmages robes you get, which seem to be the best mage gear you can get ingame.

I prefer having light armor over clothes. Since my enchantment skill is high and I have Azura's star, I just stack Magika increase and regen rate increase enchantments on all my gear.

Max out your enchantment skill and get the right perks and you can put 25% spell school cost reduction on 4 of your items, making the total cost of any spell in that school 0. I did this for destruction and it is the most awesome thing ever. Especially now that I have lightning storm, I can just kill everything.

The downside is that I only did it after I'd reached level 44, and had put all my level ups into mana so I could cast more spells. Now I can cast infinite spells, and have super low hp. Yay!

Now you can start maxing out conjuration!

Speaking of which, I'm hoping the DLC for skyrim will include more summon creatures. What of you?

Wow thats.. really cool. Cant believe i didnt figure that out. I gotta try that on my gear too. Except i have the same problem, im lvl 46 and have only put points into magicka lol, im screwed hp wise.

[deadae]

thats wut i did.... but not destruction conjuration...stilll i cant scratch a dragon and die in a few hits.... because i focused nothing on combat my only way to fight ...is bound sword and a sheild

[Frenchfry]

What an excellent strategist you turned out to be.

Personally, I find the most entertaining way to play is still as a warrior.

>Imperial tank
>Attack Stormcloak fort in the Rift
>Dragon attacks within seconds of the attack beginning
>Fighting 5+ enemies at once while a dragon strafes the fortress
>MFW

[deadae]

no i just focus more on money and everyday life in skyrim thats y idndt focus on combat i rather have money first i can always train later. u also have two understand i summon two fo whatever i want and i've never left lydia  behind... so i dont really have to fight

[Frenchfry]

Clearly that didn't help you much against the Dragons, which happen to be the sweet, chocolate center of the double-layer cake that is skyrim.

By the way, as far as followers go, you could do better. Vilkas is my choice melee, while I'd go with Aela for an archer.

[deadae]

lol u got it all wrong.... i'm saying alone i cant fight a dragon...any dragon that pops up while lydia is there is toast...she lvls too and the first thing i did is take her to the warrior stone and have her activate it... she goes hard the dragon wont even look at me when she is there she even destroys lords by herself lol she beats the game i just tag along

[Frenchfry]

Sounds like a real fun way to play.
