Good to hear you got through! I'm a big fan of melee heavy parties myself.

I think that going through with a mage is an excellent idea. You may be better off with more of a hybrid, like a multiclass fighter/mage. That way, your protagonist is not 100% reliant on magic. Magic, once you understand the system, is both fun and enjoyable. Some mods might help spruce up the game a bit, but I wouldn't advise anything extreme, like Tactics. Maybe something like Icelus' Unfinished Business. With or without mods, it's definitely worth a run-through. Personally, I can say I've finished it 7 times without mods, and only once with them, but that's just me. Many people, like Xen, advise them. It's a personal choice.
