Any games where being a wizard isn't the most boring shit? It doesn't even look like Dragon's Dogma will work for me.

ur mum is the most boring shit in the world

Morrowind. You can do everything in the game as a wizard, literally nearly every single skill and attribute can be buffed or done with spells/enchantments/potions/summons. At endgame you become a flying god that can destroy entire rooms of enemies with a single spell.
>>
>>321931867
Yeah but how about a game with FUN combat
>>

C+ on effort, F on execution

just like head from your mom

Also I really like dark souls 2 spell casting but I'm a pleb
>>
Nox. You have a huge variety of spells you can easily and quickly switch between, most spells have near-instantaneous cast times, and many can be cast while running.

Yeah, I looked at a bit of gameplay. It looks smooth and all, but I can't stand the mouse movement.
>>
>>321933049
It doesn't use it in the same fashion as Diablo. You right click to run forward and use the mouse to alter your direction. It works a lot better than you might think.
>>
>>321933671
Yeah, it definitely looks a lot more smooth than Diablo. I noticed that when I was watching. I'd just prefer a different control scheme.
I'll probably end up trying it out anyway because I'm so starved for good games where I can be a wizard.

>>321931556
If you think magic in Dragon's Dogma is boring the problem is you.

But really I don't think any game will live up to the old Baldur's Gates.
>>
>>321933972
Well the problem is that the magic in Dragon's Dogma looks a bit clunky compared to everything else. I noticed that the sorcerer had to pause and stand still whenever they cast a spell, and it just doesn't look any fun compared to just playing a good ole melee character.
>>
>>321934141
There are "concentration spells" that require a stationary power up time. However, most of them are screen killers, or whatever that term is. They're also combinable, such that you or your Pawns can piggyback off of eachother's power up progress to shorten cast times, and increase the strength of the spell.

Flashier spells don't mean a good magic system.
Both Amalur and DD have pretty flashy animations but it doesn't mean shit when wizard doesn't even really feel like a wizard, just a dude with a bunch of direct attacking spells.
>>
>>321935102
Yeah, this too.
I just wanna be a wizard in a pointy hat and have fun.
And preferably have a tower.
>>
>>321934641
They're also *generally* combinable,

Some are just "suck it up and stand there to cast then, or don't". In the early to mid game, it's typically worth it, though.

And they don't look terrible, at least IMO.

>>321934886
>she keeps standing still to cast a simple projectile spell.
Oh, yeah.
All spells, in their first level, have to be stationary to power up. Those times get shorter after you get a perk and piece of of gear to being almost negligible.

>>321935102
>a bunch of direct attacking spells.
I know what you mean. I miss the shit out of the older Elder Scrolls games.
>>
>>321935381
Yeah, they get shorter, but what does that mean? Casting instantaneously but not being able to cast while running?
>>
>>321935381
>And they don't look terrible, at least IMO.
Forgot pic.

>>321935510
>Casting instantaneously but not being able to cast while running?
Yeah, you're never going to be loading up a tornado while also running around.
>>
>>321935610
Yeah, but I'm talking the simple little projectile thing she was casting. I don't mind it so much for bigger spells, but that's the biggest kick in the khakis for me.

From the latest games underrail has a surprisingly fun psi/magic system.

>but that's the biggest kick in the khakis for me.
Well, I'll give you a piece of late-game advice.

You'll get a Core Skill called Focused Bolt. Its properties will change based on what kind of elemental buff you have on your staff. It will easily outdamage most of your spells, especially the low-level ones, and can be deployed while running and jumping.
>>
>>321936156
Well that's neat, but late-game.
>>
>>321936256
>but late-game.
No, you can get it quite early. Most people just don't figure out how good it is til late.

Oh, and also, that spell that person casts in that video at 4:28; that's one of the Sorcerers' strongest spells. Of course it would require stationary preparation.
>>
>>321936457
>4:28
Nevermind. My toaster has a hard time seeking in YT vids. That little thing she did at 4:28 was one of the Core Skills. It's extremely basic and you'll essentially never use it. It does requite being stationary to fire multiple times like that though.
>>
>>321933972
It is boring because it's too OP.

You're the kind of person who'd point a gun at your own face, pull the trigger, then complain, if you lived, that guns are too dangerous, aren't you?

Game has anything from generic fire magic, mass mind control, summoning eldritch horros, ridiculous buffs and spells being able to kill hundreds of units at once.
