This is how I play now:

- I ditched my mage because, frankly, I ran out of Fatigue to quickly and opponents would always hit me instead of my stronger party members. I'm now a melee fighter and kicking ass

- I followed the advice of a guide and gave myself a complete repair skill. It irritated me and it's just a useless extra to annoy you with no real benefit

- I keep all my extra gear in an empty house

- I use turnbased combat - it's just WAY too fast in real time.

- I got a level 1 pickpocket skill which lets me have as much money as I want (pickpocket key, open storage, sell item, take out of storage, sell it again, repeat) - I discovered this myself

This makes the game more fun. Being a mage was no fun when all enemies would attack you first - the main weakness in this game, is that you got next to no control over your party members.

When I was playing a combat mage, there were two elixirs I found myself very dependant on - Fatigue Slower and Potion of Haste.

If I needed those, I'd need several for each fight. I stuck with a tech melee fighter and I kick ass. I increased my charisma and now I have 4 followers, all with swords of balance.
