Using magic is unsatisfying?

Has anyone found that using mostly magic to defeat foes is unsatisfying? I made a character that focused mostly on magic and she kicked butt but I didn't seem to enjoy killing monsters with magic as much as I did when using melee weapons. Anyway, I ended up scrapping the character and made a brand new urgoth fighter.

Magic kills are satisfying!

I am playing through for the second time, first time mainly fighter type, now mainly magics -- and I find them both satisfying. I loved dealing huge damaage with one swipe of the Sword of Death in the first game, and now I love taking out up to 15 enemies with one spell.

i made it upto the daedroth temple with my war witch and it was a walk in the park using magic to kill everything. if anything survived my magic attacks they usually were near death and one or two hits from my staff usually killed it.

hi ya

i would have to agree close combat is more fun except those damn wolves and spiders get really annoying so i love blasting them with fire. Except the fact that magic speeds up the fight with tougher foes i like the jamin my sword in them better

I played as a primary sword-slinger and then as a mage - now, I have a samari/battlemage so I can change back and forth at will - like when I run across a troll... I freeze him then I hack him to peices... quite fun... I use an entire array of spells, bow, sword, shield and run aways to fight my battles... so I like a combo player best!

I think the lady the lion describes it accept im no lady lol

Ya thats cool snakes i have a knight, war witch, but unless its tough or annoying i like to do the sword work even if it is running a bit backing up doing flips, if it gets to much its magic time. Cant wait to get more powerful though

I found bats and bees most annoying. I used a combo character and discovered that spells were great damage a flying baddie enough that they would settle lower to the ground where I could then melee 'em. This worked great on Fire Drakes.
