Can you choose two specializations like in the original, or just one?

Oh man. I didn't play as the creepy blood mage/virulent bomb monster of doom in the first Dragon Age game because it didn't really fit my character, even though I desperately wanted to try out the mechanic. But this time around...



Bring on the mind control and boiling blood! *cackles maniacally*

What happened to mages ? They seem to turned from scholars studying magic into ninjas blasting magic attacks...Meh.

I realise this is only a demo but I think that cooldowns are quite long for all abilities and spells; doing Isabella's quest at the end, I was hurling fireballs, cones of cold and fire storms left and right and did not need to worry about mana, likewise for an archer I played as well as sword and board.



Now as an example, in origins I would usually do 2 magic/1 willpower for a mage but given the long cooldowns and what seems to be a non-issue with mana, I will be investing 3 points into magic for my mage to maximise power...I think for the rogue a 2 dexterity/1 cunning will be a good policy, 2H warrior 3 strength...Sword and board, 2 strength/1 constitution or (for tanks) 2 consitution/1 strength...



Basically, purely based on the demo, I see no use for willpower.



Can't wait to play my succubus lesbo blood mage! Muhahahha

I have one question: WHERE. IS. The Rogue thread? :-)

Since Rogues now have the magic of teleportation, maybe this is it? Haha

It's hiding in stealth mode, waiting for it's chance to strike.
Also on topic, Force Mage

Excellent work getting all the mages grouped together Chris, the trap worked flawlessly! I've notified the Templars and their troops are marching here as we speak. Finally, we can restore order to Kirkwall!

Blood Mage: Nothing inspires as much wild-eyed terror as the Blood Mage. Mages of this type take the raw energy of life and twist it to their own purposes. They can corrupt and control, and sustain their power by consuming the health of others, willing or not. The effects can be vile, but this specialization isn’t limited to madmen and monsters. Many see it as the only form of magic that is truly free, because it’s tied to the physical, not favors to spirits or demons. It remains an undeniably violent and self-destructive discipline, however, and the Blood Mage must be careful. The temptation to take just a little more is always there.



To my understanding, blood magic was precisely the province of communing with demons and relying on them for power; did I miss something?

That will be rather hard to do while you're being electrocuted.

Demons can teach mages how to use blood magic, but the magic itself does not rely on them.

My only beef with mages is why the heck is the heal cool down so freaking slow?



I hope Arcane Warrior is still around, I liked that class.

Those are the mages in the circle tower, they talk about the apostates, and street mages

Wasn't that robe in the demo?

[Elenaxrose]

Always a mage. I can't wait. The revamped spells look so good. Cone of cold is like wow compared to what it was!

[jhawke]

Force Mage sounds awesome!!



Looks like I'll be going Force Mage and Spirit Healer for my mage!!

[Chris Priestly]

As poeple know who read the Warrior class discussion thread, I usually play warriors in fantasy games (and heavy gunners in shoter, etc). Whiel I appreciate having a mage with me for healing or (essentailly) artillery, I usually prefer having the weapon in my hand, wading in and smacking people around.

However, Dragon Age 2 has changed my opinion. As usual, I first played through with a warrior and had a great time, but along the way I would take over one of the party NPC mages (Merrill, Bethany, etc) and use them when needed in battle (or when my warrior died). They were much more fun to play than I was expecting. Sure, you can still rely on your party mahges for healing or support, etc but actually being the mage, selecting what spells I wanted, not to mention the much better mage outfits in DA2 made them a much more enjoyable experience than I was expecting.

Don't get me wrong, I still loves me my 2 handed berzerker warrior, but mages kick a lot of buttock in DA2. They also set them on fire, freeze them in place, rip them apart, etc.

They often do that but they mostly rely on BLOOD magic

Can't wait to play as a Blood Mage.
