But over time I realized it wasn't how I really wanted to play, so I re-rolled. The very first character I build in Skyrim was going to be a generalist. And no - just because you're roleplaying doesn't mean you need to speak like you just stepped out of Medieval Times.

This allows you to focus on just a few schools and roleplay more. You invest points in every single school and enchanting, making you a jack-of-all-trades but a master of none. The way I see it, there are two main ways to play mages in Skyrim: because you are going to play as a mage, right?
