The only issue I had with Skyrim was that magic damage never scaled up properly. You get a few little buffs here and there through perks, but your magic will never be able to touch the damage of a properly blacksmithed weapon.

You pretty much have to go all out with enchantment so that you can enchant your gear to where you can have 2 different types of spell cost absolutely zero magicka to cast. If you get to high level gameplay and your fireballs and whatnot are sapping magicka from your bar, you're never going to kill anything very easily.

Considering the enemy AI is nothing more than straight up zerging you and swinging away, its a real pain in the ass to play as a pure mage.

Using a combination of Alchemy and Enchantment, you can wear gear that boosts your blacksmithing, combined with a potion that boosts blacksmithing further, and you can get an average run of the mill sword that does around 700 damage per hit, where I think my most powerful spell only reaches around 250.

You never really reach "Ultimate Sorcerer Badass" status in Skyrim. Everything takes so many damn spells to defeat, its kind of a bummer.
