Sadly the only thread needed on these forums. And I am only referring to the OP list. 

I also vote to have it stickied.

The reality is that the mage will be as overpowered as the player makes him. I personally feel that a mage SHOULD be overpowered. Anyone who can manipulate the raw stuff of the universe should be a force to be reckoned with. The balancing issue for me lies in the years, possibly decades, that the mage had to spend in study before the player takes the reins, so to speak.

This is something I have been waiting for for a long time and I sincerely thank Bioware for bringing it to us.

as a quick appendix, Bioware makes the games. They shouldn't be there to hold your hand while you play it.

You pretty much summed up my personal views on mages as depicted in the DA world.

I will be fair here and state that I did at one point tell people to go back to WoW. This is directed at people who keep expecting a single-player party-based game to somehow be like a multiplayer single-character game.

Not everything has come from that MMO, you know. Actually.. it has stolen more systems and looks from many other games that is good for it. (Warhammer anyone?) But that's an entirely other discussion.



A rpg with a focus on your own character started with PnP D&D. You dont play all 4 adventurers and the DM in PnP all by yourself. Closest CRPG that had a focus on one character and have Multiplayer was NWN.



And in my book NWN still was there earlier than WoW.

I think he was referring to people who DO compare it to WoW when trying to get their point across. I may be wrong though...
