Preferred play style[]

Altmer tend to be particularly adept offensive mages, primarily concentrating on destruction spells. However, the Altmer will experience quite a significant weakness to Destruction magic in the beginning, which may make gameplay harder against others who use magical attacks. Focusing on more defensive schools of magic, like Alteration, can help alleviate this over time however.
