A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

It is mayor jank but Dragons Dogma was the closest to feeling like a mage I've ever experienced. There are no cool downs in the game but channeling spells takes some time and upholding a continuous spell drains your stamina. In this setting the art of a mage was reading the battle and estimating how much space you have to channel spells, several of which can easily break the encounter wide open.
Edited since neither my English nor my autocorrect were working as intended.
Am I just not awake yet or is this incomprehensible
I mean you only have to change a few words to figure out what they intended to write so I'd say not awake fully?
"In this setting the art of the mage was reading the battle and estimating how much space you need to channel each spell"
At least that is how I read it
Thank you, but now that I'm more awake I'd have to disagree with you there. You did some magic reading that.
I just estimated how much space I needed and channelled the right spell :p
