>want to play a CRPG as Gandalf casting firebolt>your role is actually John Crowd-Control the Buffbot for most of the gameWhy are they like this?
>>748978760>Why?Roles and Classes were a mistake.
It sucks that the only blaster caster class is the Pathfinder Kineticist who isn't even a wizard/sorcerer/mage/whatever using magic-magic and is a psychic connected to the Elemental Planes instead.And D&D's Warlock if you choose to just Eldritch Blast all the time.
>>748978760The actual reason is magicfags are unable to hold themselves, even if in movies and all media the magic solution is climatic and taxing, magicfags just can't do it.I would be fine giving you accelerated fireball at lvl 1.But you, the retard, wouldn't like that, you wouldn't actually act and behave like the magic user you like in media, because you are an uncontrollable child.You would use your fireball at the first rat encounter, and then go WELL THAT WAS EASY HEHE, LET'S FIGHT SOMETHING HARDERAnd when I tell you that that was it, that fireball was the culmination of all your training and that was all you had, ever, you'll piss and shit your pants and cry that the game is not fair.Even rpg devs cave in and know this, and have to add gay rules like "Y-ou have to sleep but you'll get everything again the next day ok!" and "It-its ok if you don't even need components... please play!"Magicfags are the bane of fantasy roleplay
>Whylevel 20 cap was a mistakemaximum level should be around 6 or something in order for magic to be relevant.
>>748980750>I don't want to roleplay as a magic guy in fantasy!>I want to roleplay as a guy with a stick!You can go outside right now, pick up a stick and a pointy rock, and be a spearman.You can't be a wizard.
>>748983610>"I want to roleplay as Gandalf, and fireball everything every time! Kinda like Gandalf! Not walk around with a stick! That's just gay, and I want to be like Gandalf, not gay stuff like just doing that!!"Thanks for proving my point, I adressed that, direclyYes.
>>748978760play DOS2, its the best elemental mage experience currently out there.you really feel like an archmage by endgame
