I don't get why people shit on Obsidian for releasing buggy games. Both Dungeon Siege 3 and The Stick of Truth were fine bugwise and New Vegas was just Bethesda being Bethesda. I mean every Bethesda game was retarded bugfest since Daggerfall, they've even manage to release a DLC with game-breaking bugs. Yet you don't see them shitting so hard on them every time their new game is released.
>>
Since we are talking about wizards
Is there a single movie/tv series that didn't show wizards as pure shit? The ones I've seen always die because of retarded reasons like:
>not having protective spells like stoneskin, protection from missiles, resist elements, spells that offer protection against other spells like mantles, spell resistance, globe of invulnerability
>not having contingencies, access to divinations, others means of alerting you of the presence of enemies like a simple fucking Alarm spell so you won't be caught unaware
God why are wizards outside of videogames so shit, and now even on vidya they have become shit

>>286812078
The shows are all-right. It's DnD that's retarded. I mean literally everyone managed to make wizards better than DnD. I mean being a Wizard was supposed to be a dangerous time-taking task. In DnD it's:
>Top kek I bought a bunch of scrolls
>Hey dudes, I've learned how to summon trolls, cast fireballs, make myself invisible in a single evening.
>Being a wizard is hard top kek
I mean seriously. Warriors need a special feat to learn how to use different kind of sword a bit better, while Wizards get all spells on their level basically for free? Who designed this shit?
>>
>>286812050
Dungeon Siege and South Park aren't complex games like RPGs usually are though.
>>
>>286812239
the wizard in 4th was strong as fuck, especially since in the first book it was the only class that filled that role. even after the other books came out, it's probably still the BEST class that fills their role.
people are just butthurt because they went from being the only class that mattered in 3.5 to being balanced with everybody else
>>
>>286812236

Harry Potter's pretty shit in this regard because the system of magic it uses is ambiguous as fuck and pretty much only exists to serve the needs of the plot. If you want a series involving wizards that actually explores the idea of magic users in a logical way, read the Earthsea series.

I'm curious. I checked the wiki, and was wondering if the information in it is complete.

Classes for example seem to have like 8 abilities (minus spell casters) and only go upto level 12 or so.
There is like 4-6 weapons/armor of a type and so on.

Is this information complete, or just from a beta test which only included a part of the game?

Why would someone learn how to be a surgeon if most doctors can be beaten by a bunch of jocks? Why would someone learn quantum physics if a bunch of niggers would own like a 100 of these nerds. Because there are other uses of magic than being a dumb nerd blasting imaginary jocks with fireballs. Most people would study magic just to learn divination spells or shit like telepathy.

it sounds like its out of bg2, but there's like 1 combat music and 1 non-combat music. I can see myself just muting music after 1 hour because it's so repetitive. That is, if it's the same in the final game. I'm talking about the beta.

That's just an excuse. The only thing complex about RPGs by comparison to other games is the different determinant paths a player can take in terms of plot. Other genres are far more buggy. Case in point: TES games.

PoE is in no way a technically complex game in comparison to a first person game that uses physics as its main game play mechanic.

I backed Wasteland 2, Eternity and Numenera on kickstarter despite generally disliking crowd-funding. The Eternity beta was pretty fun if you're looking for another Baldur's Gate or Icewind Dale or ToEE, this is pretty much perfect. It's got some nice updates that some of those older games didn't have either. I don't think you need to be a nostalgiafag to like this game, but you probably need to be a D&Dfag to like it.

Well to be honest it makes sense. If you are small, but strong you can use pretty heavy ranged weapons to your advantage. CQC sucks because everyone using the same weapon as you will benefit from larger range and height advantage.
