Playing a mage as your main character is lots of fun. Kind of tough in the beginning, but it's not as though you have to wander the countryside all by yourself avoiding gibberlings. You take on Imoen right away, of course. Then Xzar and Montaron to help you defeat Tarnesh, the assassin at FAI. Then at FAI you can replace them with Khalid and Jaheira.
It is true that a mage plays a support role until they get enough spell slots and high level spells. Although don't forget the use of wands. With the wands they're damn near as powerful as a fighter.
