Poll: Magic in Skyrim

[MiracleOfSound]

I found destruction magic to be hugely underpowered unless you supplement it with other skills. It was no fun for me so I restarted and now just bludgeon everyone's face in with two maces.

well, i fell wards are underpowered and conjuration is waaay too strong but overall balanced, i for one don't see a problem with skyrim threads, its popular so why not talk about it?

I'm playing a conjurer/shortsword/destruction-thingie at the moment. I haven't gotten double atronarchs yet, but the fact that my atronarchs have more powerful fireballs than me should say enough about how ridiculous conjuring can be. And I'm at like ~60 conjuring atm, dual atronarch should be ridiculous.

The thing is, though, that the three things I've picked up on that are considered hugely overpowered are supposedly conjuring, blacksmithing and sneak. Conjuring is definitely the harder one to level of the three, and no other kinds of magic are anywhere near it. Hence why a lot of people consider magic to be UP.

I haven't played Skyrim, but crowd control (Fear) + dungeon traps = ????

mmm I haven't played a character that the uses allot of magic. I find it works.. depending if it is one of your mayor skills. I heard it can be overpowering [poor kaijit sneaker versus magic bastards.. ..oh freak it]

At least it is better then Oblivion and allot better then Morrowind!
