Which video games allow you to become a sorcerer supreme? What are the best video games that let you rain down hellfire upon niggerfaggots while you laugh with glee? What are some games where the wizard is the badass and not some scrawny fuccboi wearing a dress?
Bonus points for games that feature alchemy, counterspelling and runes.
I'm more of a warrior guy but the mage in Dragon Age Origins was retarded powerful. My mage named buttslut would laydown meteors using blood magic and just turn shit to ash
Two Worlds games (especially Two Worlds 2).
Maybe an obvious answer, but NWN2. All full casters (wizards, soccerers, clerics and druids) are much more powerful than other characters in most of the campaings after level 7.
In particular, there is 3 modules from a serie "The wizard apprentice" that are problably my best experience of playing a wizard in video-games.
(the first one is not so good, but the second and the last compensate)

Lichdom battlemage is ok, pretty repetitive and backpedaling seems to be the main strategy but if it's your thing it can be fun. I enjoyed it.
Obligatory Dragon's Dogma Sorceror mention.
You can make your character as manly as you like, I think armor types are still restricted though.
>>321046617
Loved the spells in two worlds 2, especially the retarded ones like making tornadoes of anvils.
Divinity: Original Sin
Casters in that game are only as clever as the player. You've got to use the environment to your advantage and exploit elemental weaknesses. It's pretty rudimentary

Even so, how many cRPGs do this?

Sacrifice was pretty great.
Doing a full run staying pure to each god have to be some of the best times I've had with video games.

I remember looking through the list of spells and only seeing some elemental enchants and other generic things like that. Not really impressive even compared to Two World 2 and its anvil storms.
Play Quest for Glory, anon
>>321048408
Shitty ending, but awesome gameplay. Removal of certain magicks, but quickcasting.
>>321048867
but surely an anvil storm is just a flashier direct damage attack you nonce
>>321048867
What's great about anvil storms, exactly? Honestly, it just sounds dumb. Even if DD isn't hugely original, the basic concepts are really polished, like the way enemies can be shattered once you've fully petrified them.

I remember that on my second playthrough i've decided to have fun with magic system and gave myself an insane amount of mana. Oh god, the combinations possible in this game are hilarious. You can make a ricocheting fireball that creates an undead soldier after every impact, you can summon stone boulders onto the heads of foes repeatedly, walk on water and combine everything in such a hilarious way enemies are just exploding out of sheer frustration.
>>321048476
Magicka 2 was ignored because it takes influence from Wizard Wars. Basically, they turned Magicka 1 into a balanced game, the worst sin imaginable, and they did this by flat out removing "overpowered" content and added cooldowns to the remaining spells.
I hear the patch to add steam/ice back in fixed some of the issues, but the devs still dropped the ball on this one.
>>321049015
Except it's not an attack but a combination of different spells.
You can summon a bunch of anvils and other items, then hook them up with a storm spell to create a storm of spinning anvils. Any enemy killed by it joins the stream of trash floating around you and deals damage to other enemies. You can be really creative with that magic system instead of being locked with only direct attacking ones without any special properties.
>>321049332
what? so its a bad game? i didnt played it yet (i still have to make 3 remaining friends) maybe i should drop it

>>321049428
I haven't played it, I only know from what I've read: it was a downgrade from Magicka 1 on release, and the patch fixed some of its issues. The reason you didn't find the game discussed on /v/ is because /v/ only talks about games if they're really good or really shit, and Magicka 2 on release was neither, it was blah.
>>321049428
It became a victim of bad sequel syndrome, sadly. Some good elements, like the story, are still there, but the sheer overpoweredness (see >>321049332 ) is removed. What remains is just a hollow game with a boring ending. The spellcasting does not feel powerful enough anymore. For the rest, quite a pleaser. 5.5/10
Dragon's Dogma's sorcerer's spells make you feel so fucking powerful.

Fable. Magic was stupidly OP. Assassins rush everywhere to get around fast. Enflame to kill pretty much anything in one or two hits. Multi-arrow to kill bosses in a couple of shots. Give an enemy the finger while casting lightning out of it. Somehow decapitating them in the process.
Skyrim. Everything may have been dumbed down but lighting was pretty sweet. Instant hitscan with stupid range. I was flanked at all times by two sexy looking flame atronoches. Then duel bound swords to stab cunts when I got bored of blasting motherfuckers away with lighting.
>>321050132
>what are eco terrorists
Come on, son. These people have been around for hundreds of years. They're the most extreme of extreme hippies, but they're still hippies.
>>321046861
NWN1 even more so, thanks to 3.0 instead of 3.5 rules. 3.5 was a nerf for wizards, and NWN2 removed time stop from the arcane spell list. Shit's fucking broken.
A few levels of running after the meat shield, a remaining campaign of kicking ass all the way to next sunday.
>>321050254
>what are eco terrorists
Not hippies
From newly released games, Underrail really surprised me.
Being a psi mage is hilarious, you can literally mind rape people then lock them with two evil doppelgangers.
>>321050151
>Casting boss-killing spells on grunts when you have a ton of fast-acting acti-mob spells

>>321050468
That's exactly what they are. Psycho Nature Loving weirdos. They're essentially religious extremists, but for Nature. They're still hippies.
NWN2's sorcerers are absolutely devastating, especially if you play on normal difficulty which has no friendly fire from AoE spells.
>>321049529
What's a good game for druids? I played NWN2. Currently playing BG2. Neither seem to capture that wildness and the magic is very un-druidlike except for the animal summoning, insects and root entanglement.
>>321046363
Arx Fatalis. What? You did ask for RRRRRUNES.

>>321050121
Had to read that twice, but I think yo are correct. Steam and ice were indeed still in-game, but were taking up 2 casting slots to cast, thus combining into steam or ice. 3 weeks later however, they patched it, due to heavy community feedback, to combine again. They also re-added super death steam beam and the poison combined element.
>>321050693
Good idea but mediocre realization because sometimes it doesn't register spells even if you drew them correctly.
>>321048304
Clerics are not heal sluts.
>>321050571

Clerics that actually bother with restoration are.

You're mistaking clerics for priests.

Too bad the campaign is a steaming pile of shit.
>>321050719
They're Hippies you fucking nigger.
>>321050656
There isn't really any.
Skyrim has some of the best Werewolf Gameplay you can get, if you download Bloodmoon Rising and Moonlight Tales Overhaul(or essential) and Heart of the Beast mods.
You can pretend you're a shapeshifter.
But honestly, I've never played anything that does the nature magic side really, really well. It's a shame, really.

>>321051253
Just craft an acid-resistant armor, it makes area way easier. Just don't allow mutants to get close to you but as a psi user you have insane CC potential.
>>321051417
Once again, NWN to the rescue.
Kaedrins PrC Pack adds a few classes dealing with Necromancy.
As for being a lich, you get all the immunities and weaknesses, get dope ass undead summons and choose a phylactery

Active counterspells are the best in that game. I remember multiplayer on Westwood Online and seeing wizards try to use Armageddon and when counter hit them all the mana they used just backlashes on them
>>321051247
Yeah, I used the same stuff. Occassionaly switching to Hunting Grounds outfit from this mod;
>http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/30466/?
Or Hircine's Helmet from this mod;
>http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/32371/?
Or helmets from Ghosu;
>http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/43293/?
Or any number of the furs from Immersive Armours mod.
There are also some decent Magic Mods, some of which add some decent nature based magic.
But in the end, you're still playing Skyrim. Which is extremely limited in what you can actually do. So it's probably no worth it.
Still -- Ripping off of heads of Necromancers never gets old.
>wizards in charge of tanking beholders without any buffs
I hope you enjoy being instantly killed, petrified, wounded, confused, dominated and dispelled with 100% arcane failure once that anti magic eye so much as look at you
>>321050693
Arx Fatalis is a great example of how not to make wizards. All you do is get fireball, which can be found within thirty minutes, and then one hit every single enemy with it. There is absolutely no reason to use anything else because of the absurd mana costs and even much less damage, excluding maybe two or three utility spells for passing pits and fields.
>>321051503

say what you will about WoW but it had the best druid representation I've ever seen in a game. That doesn't say a lot, true, but still. You got a dozen different shapeshifting options instead of just "bear and only bear" like in the D&D vidya, you got the crazy astral moon-magic going on, and most importantly you got the free-roam aspect.
You just cannot represent a druid properly if your game isn't open world with lots of forests, that's just how it is.
