To play a deadly mage, get dual cast stagger destruction perk, and enchant your armor/robe/jewelry with destruction reduction enchantments.
Anyone tried playing a Mage? A couple days ago I started playing a High Elf Mage, and let me tell you, it's not easy.
These make the game look like garbage if you ask me.And finally, the two that REALLY blew me away. It took a fair amount of time getting them to work together, but my word. The game looks so beautiful with these two.
Skyrim enhanced shaders (ENBseries)
Anti-alias and sharpen effect

Yeah, save a lot. The game will delete auto saves after a while, so manually save often.
Sweet.
How have you been killing dragons?
I'm playing as an Imperial but only level 10 as yet.

There's websites like www.skyrimnexus.com that have tons of mods for PC users. Some pretty cool graphical tweaks in there, and a lot of small fixes too.
But other than that, just explore and enjoy.
I agree. I'm a level 33 Argonian Mage. Mostly skilled in the Fire and Ice part of the Destruction tree. Haven't dabbled too much into Lightning. I love playing the mage because it's so damn hard. For some reason, coming by a decent amount of Magica potions or ingredients to make then is pretty impossible. I'm always low, but I manage. I should probably just learn where to find the ingredients and just gather them.
Have you dual fired Incinerate at a Dragon Skeleton yet? That sucka will fly for miles. It's awesome to chase it down. When I first got to the College, it was under attack by a dragon. I shot it's body out into the Ice flats, and chased it down. Explored like mad on the way. I did that for about 30 levels, just explored the game. Just now started the quests.
And make sure you use the right spells. Not all spells (such as Shock) will be able to stagger an opponent. Also, if you're using Fireball, if you want to stagger someone with it, you HAVE to hit an opponent directly with it. The AoE will not affect him.To play a deadly mage, get dual cast stagger destruction perk, and enchant your armor/robe/jewelry with destruction reduction enchantments.
If you're going to use magic, make sure you have a failsafe skill you can fall back on when you run out of Magika. It's probably obvious but I would definitely recommend the one-handed skill and its associated weapons.This is the first Elder Scrolls game I'll have dabbled in. Got it for Christmas and just installed last night. Without any prior experience or research I decided on a dark elf for the sole reason of fire resistance. I figured, where there are dragons, there will be fire.
Any general tips for someone new to the series?

Them's some nice shots, except for that big hammer being in the way.
