My Critique about the main story line - it's non existant

From the very beginning when you first meet Marzul ( i think thats his name) he tells you you have a gift of Magic and I am needed as a recruit to learn Magic for various purposes. Now, i'm at the Mountain Monastery and so far have yet to have One Quest that requires me to learn Magic. At least in Oblivion, if you did all the mage guild quest you learned magic. Here, there is nothing that requires you to learn magic.. it's optional. I wanted forced lessons in magic and quests where you had to use those skills. Thats what Marzul lead me to believe. So far there is none of this, nope, nada zip. These guys of the order I'm "working for" have no kinship to me nor I to them. I'm not one of them - they never made me one of them by teaching me magic and forcing me to use it. This would have made an emotional bond between me and The Order. As it stands, I am little more than a hired thug to carry out their wishes.
I only feel compelled to do the main quest as a means to get to the end of the game. If they would have done these things and taught me magic and forced me to use it, I would feel like i belonged. Sorry folks but i think SureAI really dropped the ball on this game in this respect. if they wanted to, they could patch it to fix it. Because I did not get the treatment marzul promised me at the beginning I feel like the whole game is a sham. Otherwise, it would have been a great game. since the game cannot even deliver the stated games premise, I dont see how on earth it could have won mod of the year. SureAI, pay better attention to what you promise in your next game and then deliver.
Perhaps i'm wrong and this will change over the course of the game, but from what I have seen so far this is very disappointing.
