Ahh I'm playing at whatever the default difficulty was.

The only mods I'm using thus far are a custom race mod (smaller
character size and custom faces) and some cosmetic mods.

Downloaded but haven't installed yet a magic extension mod since I'm
finding the number of spells available a bit underwhelming.
Looking at another one that does a complete revamp of the magic system,
but that one I think I'll save for another playthrough.

Really missing the custom spell design of Daggerfall/Morrowind/Oblivion.
Not a real fan of the new, very limited, item enchantment system either.

And what's with having only one ring?  Even D&D let you have one on each
hand.

I mostly don't like melee, although a later playthrough I might do it.

I went magic this time - next time will probably be an archer of some
sort.  I used a bow a little at the beginning of this character since
I'd run out of mana easily vs some things - and of course it's kind of
hard to get the dragons attention when you only have the original issue
short range spells and it won't come in range.

I loved the crossbow in Morrowind and was quite sad when Oblivion went
bows only.

Bah, nothing like killing it with huge gouts of fire or ice or
lightning.

One curious thing I'm noticing - sometimes my enemies seem to get
reduced to piles of ash.
This would make sense were I hurling fireballs at them, but using Ice
Storm????

Oh any comment on the Unofficial Skyrim Patch?
Worth getting, mandatory, not worth it?
