>still no RPGs where I can play as a proper spell-flinging mage without having to resort to barbaric melee combat or melee lackeys
Why can't video games get it right? MMOs came close, but they all ultimately failed.
Have you played Lichdom: Battlemage?
Mages are fags.
Fags don't deserve to be happy.
In almost every game, Mages are shit.
I'm making a top down game focused solely on spell casting.
Just you wait anon.
Soon.
Dragon's Dogma
>>332797607
just play dungeon crawl stone soup or some other roguelike that has mages

Oh boy, you should totally call it Magika.
>>332797607
Dragon's Dogma is the only game where I've felt like a wizard (sorcerer in the game)

>I'm making a top down game focused solely on spell casting.
I'm somehow imagining a dull Magicka clone
Magic is retarded easy mode.
You can never get the same euphoria as defeating someone else with a sword or other melee weapon.

You mean Peasantdom: Braceletwearer.
ah the real wizardfag, where even D&D isn't unbalanced enough in his favor to satisfy his urges
>>332797607
Because sorcerers are always too powerful due to the nature of magical energy presentation in games. Capable of attacks at every range and abusing every weakness of an enemy, they are always either overpowered or nerfed to hell and back.
Deal with it or just choose a more sensible class.
Can we stop for a second and acknowledge that OPs name is Olga Mayo?

I think being a mage should have mechanical drawbacks but huge rpleplaying benefits (assuming we're talking about an RPG)
You shouldn't be able to wreck shit like a barbarian or a paladin but you're the only one who can talk to a tree, get news from a stream, shapeshift, have innocuous animals as your servants and be able to see the future. Look back a the big motherfucker of all wizards like Merlin and you'll notice the most high level spell he cast was a sleeping spell, his real power lied in divination and the sight, that's what moved empires, not waving a stick around and conjuring fire.

That is literally a Druid bro.
I mean, Merlin was pretty much of a druidic religion really.
>>332797607
mayo or ketchup, Olga ?
>>332801550
I can't even remember the last game I played where there were useful non-combat spells that weren't just heals or buffs.
>>332804945
I had some useful non combat abilities/spells in DivOS and NWN (if you count animal empathy).
