Will mage outfits be mostly restricted to robes? The one from the Kirkwall part in the demo looks cool, but I'd really love to wear armor-like badass outfits such as the one you start the game with.

Agreed.I don't want to spend my whole time wearing robes so I hope they have some sort of mixture between a robe and armor.

The devs have alluded to armor for mages being available but you will have to spec your mage with strength and Con to be able to wear it. 

Hum... I hope my penchant for armor won't ruin my build...

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.

Speaking of outfits, are we stuck with mostly robes, or can we get something more armor like, similar to what poster hawke looks like?

OH HELL YES!!

"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."

I'm so happy right now.. I think I may cry..

I hope that the way to get the Blood Mage spec is required with a more evil approach similar to the Reaver spec in Origins.The idea and the way it's treated should at least have some relevance.I wasn't feeling it in Origins of how I had to get it with that demon in Connor.

Strength would be a waste as Mages have no use for it if the staffs melee damage is based off of the magic attribute.Con would be more useful for the armor.I was hoping they would be based off of magic as that's what I'll focus on first.

Strength also increases Fortitude (ability to resist knockback/knockdown)... so it's not entirely worthless.  If your mage wishes for better defense, it's a good option.

Considering Hawke's an apostate, it would make sense, lore-wise, that he wears something more discreet to hide his presence in Kirkwall. Didn't those apostates in Amaranthine (Out of Control quest in Awakening) wear normal clothing as well? Or maybe my memory's just failing...

blood mage and force mage hehe. I'm going to enjoy making things blow up.

Hopefully we can get the mage armor in the extravagated scene eventually.

Mages? Powerful in DA2? What a joke.

You have barely 3/4 of number of spells now, not counting upgrades, compared to Origins. And even those are barely half as powerful, with longer cooldowns to boot.

Is it the difference between an Apostate and Circle Mage? Where can I sign up for Harrowing in that case, as joining the Circle will surely provide me with better education?



On a related note. Did you notice how small in number and weak in effect are support spells? Or was it just the demo thing that Elemental Weapons on Lvl 6 only gave +4 additional damage to 70 already there?

Several spells in DAO were simply upgrades on lesser spells, many spells were useless.

Mage was awesome in the demo...can't wait to play it at high levels (and Force Mage looks awesome).

Er have you played the demo? Mages wield the staves far more as weapons in DA2 than they did in DAO.

I actually agree with Daddy.I like how they made the staffs into a melee weapon but I always liked to be a sort of mage knight hybrid that focuses more on melee.I loved the Arcane Warrior spec because it let me do that but is now gone in DAII.There might also be a limited amounts of a armor/robe mixture which I also would like...wearing robes while focusing on melee doesn't fit well.
