I've played three characters so far (khajit, redguard, high elf), thinking my last would be my last. Focused completely on magic, set the difficulty on expert, and headed straight for Winterhold as soon as I finished Unbound.

Magic svcks. Illusion is kinda fun but isn't very satisfying, and even one Bandit Highwayman gives me way more trouble than I'd like. Destruction svcks as an only offense, and while Conjuration helps, it's just not for me I suppose. So before I commit anymore time to this lvl 28 mage, I'm gonna make another character and start back up with melee. I think I'll roll an Orc this time. And play on Master.

I've got roughly 100 hours with Skyrim so far and there's still tons I haven't done. I look forward to doing it all with my new character.

I have zero problem killing on my Mage, was so easy I abandoned her to start new character. I love my spellsword
