Well,
There are several races that can do pretty much everything...
Im a Nord and I use One hand / Heavy armor but I can still use spells decently

Is the magic OP in this game, or is it crucial to use weapons?

Magic definitely isn't OP unless you're a high level. It's dangerous but I don't think it's any better than if you don't use it. It's not crucial to use a weapon but you should probably have one anyway.

Hm alright. Well IMO magic is cooler, maybe I'll go battle mage like I've been reading..

That's what I plan to go as too man! Oh, and what's up?

Yea I started battle mage.. its really fun but later if you dont have a lot of mana you cant really do spells too often

So I'm a werewolf (companions), an assassin (dark brotherhood) and a thief (thieves guild)..this game is beast, i'm addicted

i'd suggest anyone playing as a stealthy character hit up the dark brotherhood sanctuary asap and grab the armor set. stealth attacks (melee) do 30x damage with daggers now

Yea..
Im doing the werewolf quests now!
Im in the Dark Brotherhood too...
And like I said earlier the Arch Mage in the mage college

where do i go about getting to that?
i just got to whiterun and started doing companion quests.
currently trying to level up my sneak and archery.

what's the fastest way to level sneak or just walk around in sneak all the time?

That sounds really cool! I may actually run a thief/assassin.

Which do you prefer?
