Bing:
Actually being a mage in skyrim is a lot harder. You have to dedicate perks to it. And you pretty much need to wear the robes that restore magicka. Which means your defense is lacking, dragons chansey hurt. Being a tank is the simplest thing you can be. I mean it's just this: Equip armor, sword. Then run in and swing til everything is dead.
As a mage, I have to think during battle. I have to plan my moves, conserve my magicka, take cover and pick the right spells to deal max damage. I can't just run in swinging. I'd get killed.
As far as I'm concerned mages, and assassins Require the most thought to use.
Shadowfred:
I'm a mage and I just roll around in heavy armour I've enchanted to decrease destruction costs. It helps that I've put all my level ups into Mana. Impact is the best perk ever, dragons can't do anything anymore.

How to Mage:
* When you start using a higher level spell, take the perk that allows you to use it for half the cost.
* Use fire as your default, unless your enemy is resistant to it. Fire has the lowest cost. Frost is in between, and lightning is the most expensive.
* Have excellent enchantment skill, and disenchant any robes you find that give magika restoration bonuses.
* Complete the Black Star quest as soon as possible, and make sure you have the soultrap spell, or a weapon enchanted with it. The Black Star is a reusable soul gem that uses human souls, which have a value equal to a Grand Soul, which is much harder to get.
* Enchant your armor to increase the regeneration rate of your magika. With Black Souls, a high Enchantment skill, and the right perks, you can make your armor even more effective than the Archmage's robes, and you'll still get the armor bonus.
* If you're short on cash, buy some leather and iron and make some iron daggers. then give them a fear enchantment, mana drain enchantment, or stamina drain enchantment. Sell them back for a huge profit.
* No matter what, you'll be in situations where you don't have any magika, and there's no time to waste waiting for it to regenerate. When this happens, you NEED to be able to use a conventional weapon. My high elf mage has a greatsword that's been refined to the "flawless" level. You might also want to give this weapon the Soul Trap enchantment if you have it, since the Soul Trap spell is fairly costly to cast, and takes time to charge up.
* Conjuration and restoration are your friend. if your health is dwindling and you have no means to regenerate it, summon a an ally of some form, and retreat to heal yourself.
* What Shadowfred said about Impact? Yeah that's important. dualcast whenever possible, and take the Impact perk. Impact makes it so all your dualcasted destruction spells cause the enemy to stagger when they're hit, which makes keeping your distance extremely easy.
Also, remember that no matter what your character is, Blacksmithing is an extremely important skill, especially if you want to have the coolest looking and most effective armors (Glass and Dragonscale for light, Daedric and Dragonbone for heavy). To level it the fastest, simply craft iron daggers. They only cost one iron ingot and one leather strip to make. It took me about eight daggers to get from level 70 to 71, without the Warrior Stone activated. Hell, unless you have an astounding Speech skill, which is a real bitch train, it's also the only affordable way of having a reliable means to get new equipment.

Tickles:
Ok, My friend wants me to buy Skyrim because me working on the mods through his cuts through his game time. Anyone have a suggestion for what I should make, something you don't see in the game, or think isn't available? I'm still perfecting the Paladin VS Necromancer mod, with actual bonuses for choosing either side.

How does Oblivion force you to be a mage?
