Unironically. This and amalur have actual wizards. Maybe necromancers tale, too.
>>
>>4026534
it's fun only when you have the right situation, which is like a total of 10 minutes of the game. Magic feels super weak and lame except when you cast the nuke-tier spells, and you can only get those off in a boss fight and you hope your pawns can protect your for the 3 minutes of casting that it takes.

For me, it's Nethack. Actually good magic, enchanting, alchemy, wands, rings, spellbooks, everything.

>See item you don't need?
Polymorph it until it turns into something good or explodes. Combine weak potions until you get the ones that permanently increase health, mana, and stats. Enchant dragon scales into full dragon plate armor that doesn't interfere with spellcasting, polymorph every unneeded magic armor until it's everything you want for a godly invincible doctor doom armor set.
>Hungry?
Polymorph yourself into a person who isn't hungry. Or cast stone to flesh on a boulder
to make a giant meat boulder and eat some of it.
>About to fight some dangerous bullshit?
Polymorph yourself into a female cockatrice, lay a bunch of eggs, then throw them at enemies to turn them to stone which is basically an instant kill that nothing can resist. Or just cast finger of death on shit, who cares. Use cone of cold to cause an explosive chain reaction to delete a room of enemies, or use it to create a bridge to freeze a path across a lake. Or just case levitation, or just dig under the floor and bypass the level.

Fuck it just cast magic mapping to reveal the room, detect treasure to find the good shit, teleport straight to it, then teleport to the next staircase go to the next level and just do that. Loot the whole world in 10 minutes.

Next time I play Dragon's Dogma, it will be as a mystic knight with 3x custom sorceress pawns.

Omg, haha is this a self reference, wow! It's so funny. The game is like fantasizing, but it's a game! Wow!!

You could not be more wrong, anon. Mages can literally one-shot the dragon.
>>
>>4026423
Age Of Wonders is great for this. AoW4 has some monetization issues (DLCs are WAY overpriced...) but fantastic for the wizard king fantasy.

Ugly 'game'
>>
>>4027285
why are you putting game in quotes
>>
>>4027289
They are called apostrophes and nethack is hardly qualified as game by standards est 1984 or later. The game is so barebones that thinking about playing actual games seems more fun than playing nethack.
>>
>>4027413
NTA. You were using them as quotation marks.
>nethack is hardly qualified as game
You’re dumb. That is all.

>>4027413
This is one of the most absurd things I've ever read on this website in 10+ years of browsing

It's pointing out that you contradicted yourself. That you didn't understand the point is a pretty damning indictment, too.

Noita, Wizard of Legend, Magicka and Modded Skyrim

Rift Wizard series
If you want to feel like a specialist elementalist mage then also Stoneshard.
For the occult Infra Arcana.
Incursion if you like 3.5 dnd

Compared to Oblivion or Morrowind I never really liked Skyrim's weapon slot magic. I think it encouraged them too much to keep the effects simple in nature. It's basically the one thing I liked more in Oblivion. Though when you say "modded" that means basically anything is on the table from effects and mechanics from previous games to bimbofication so who really knows what that means
>>
>>4029658
He means bimbofication
>>
>>4029658
I always wished I could just increase the DPS of the basic fire/lightning/frost attacks. I had a mod with a laser beam kind of like that, but it was too powerful and just one-shotted everything instantly.
>>
>>4029893
You can with fortify destruction potions
>>
>>4026423
That's orko from heman

>>4029893
It's pretty much down to drugs or maybe one or two pieces of uniquely enchanted items if you go vanilla iirc, but it's not super dramatic. You can stun lock basically every enemy to death with magic easily by just using the dual wielding perks, but that can still take a while if you're playing on a higher difficulty. Personally I tend to revert to spamming calm spells and invisibility to not have to deal with shit outside of dragon fights when I go full caster. I don't know what the solution would even be without completely changing how the game works, but difficulty in that game is just sort of boring
Really, I don't know if it would even be wrong to be one shotting everything instantly in that game when you consider how bullshit smithing and enchanting is for damage.
>>
>>4029897
It's incredible that so many complainers are unaware of those potions.
