Think stem says they dream.If they don't dream perhaps they hold alternative source of magic slightly or wholey different from the fade.
It's not uncommon for there to be more than one brand of magic if we look at general dnd
That's because DnD is better...and just more diverse in general (not just magic). I don't think it illustrates anything about this setting.
true but every western peg follows dnd at some point and varying degrees. I just see it comingThat's because DnD is better...and just more diverse in general (not just magic). I don't think it illustrates anything about this setting.

I think they wrote themselves in a corner already to be anything like that. And the only way to expand out of it is through asspull plots... like time magic.
Their races will never be as diverse as dnd though. Not anytime soon at least. Maybe if it was another "Age" centuries later.
Why does time travel get a bad rep it was reasonably explained and had a specific limit to what it could do.
Just curious
It's just tacky, that's all. I bet the concept for the story came first, not necessarily the means of magic. Like they wanted a way to fast forward the story and show what the world was like without the Inquisitor. Similar to the Templar quest, fast forwarding and show what it was like with a power hungry Inquisitor.
They also had a neat system going before. Both with magic and demons. Magic had it's schools and demons were like the 7 Deadly Sins. Now they want to get out of confines of those systems, but it can only be done now in a tacky way.
But I also think the gameplay itself has suffered because of this mess. Without any founding principles to the magic system anymore, the designers are throwing skills around willy nilly.
Maybe so. I never thought of that, but it's kind of depressing now. 
They had a good thing going...even if limited compared to dnd.
It's still black and white.
Like Envy is a still negative/black quality. But that was a trait already covered by Desire. The original should have just been more dynamic.. instead of some chick with her boobs out.
I like Envy's design though. I think I mentioned this earlier... disgusting.
The only new "original" demon was despair, the rest of new fade entities in DA:I were actually new and there was no mention of them previous games.
Yeah, need the desire demons back. They were interesting on the grounds that they were not wholly evil like pride demons.
My favorite was Sloth (or the sloth types, like Torpor).
Or maybe I only like it because it's the main demon I might succumb to
All this talk of demons and spirits reminded me of my modding days in DA2, where I made the headcanon of my Hawke bonding with a spirit of Hope a reality.
(a lot of images of possessed Hawke below)
Well Desire demons are supposed to appealing to us mortals in order to lull into a false sense of security, so they could appear as male, female, or both.

Spoiler
Demons don't do things just to have fun. They do them for sucking out you energy, which generally ends with either you dead or a slave to them (when they're in the physical world).
Also, they can't touch non-mages from the Fade.
