Does anyone have a High Elf character of any sort? I was going to start out a pure magic character and I was thinking of using the high elf but then I looked at all those grevious weaknesses to magic and just laughed. It is insane!

yeah, i have no desire to play that particular race.
I'm not one of those folks that complains about the game being to easy, but if i was, it seems like that and the sign of the atronach would definately increase the difficulty, and focus all your skills in magic, and only select personality, int, wis, and luck when leveling up. that would be a tough character to play :D
