What vidya has the best wizards?

I think dragons dogma got the feeling right, but it doesn't have enough spells.

Dragon age had some pretty good magic, but they ruined it by making your character wear nothing but dresses the whole game.

Dragon's Dogma has some of the best elemental wizardry in vidya.

>>388993415
Soul Sacrifice is the best wizard simulator on the planet.

Dragon's Dogma

Total War Warhammer has so many schools of magic it's insane
>lore of light, buff allies or immobilize enemies
>lore of fire, enough said
>lore of death, terrify foes to make them flee
>lore of beasts, turn yourself and allies into wolfmen and shit
>lore of the Waaaagh! which is either huge buffs or sneaky shit like blinding clouds or making the moon look weird
>lore of vampires, standard necromancy
>lore of metal which is a grab bag of effects itself
Watching Purple Sun of Xereus fucking annihilate 200 guys is orgasmic

Because you have no taste if you don't like pointy hats and fireballs, classic wizard is best wizard

TES has godly wizard simulation with alchemy, enchanting and spellcrafting, being able to cheese unholy numbers out of potions to make OHK weapons and spells is the true wizard experience. Shame Skyrim fucking scrapped most of it.

nigga tf you got against iconic pointy hats

>>388996716
Wizards should dabble in the occult and arcane to conjure edgy shit up and cast curses.
Not use le frost shield and fling a ball of flame at enemies.

Reminder that one of literature's most classic wizards, Gandalf, was an angel who used his own divine power to fight demonic creations.

You're right, though, that's also what wizards should be, but why restrict what a wizard can do?

>>388994290
I was trying desperately to think up a cool wizard set in any of the Dragon Age games but I'm honestly coming up blank.

>>388993415
Baldur's Gate was probably the most fun I've had with a 'wizard' type character. Very few games since then have stood on par with the spell variety + combination options.

Anything with spells per day is a no go

>>388999760
In all fairness, Arthurian lore is hazy - it's partly mythology, partly built-upon literature.One of actual proper fiction's most famous wizards is Gandalf, which is undeniable, and he is not a wizard in the traditional sense. If you don't think Gandalf is a famous wizard, you're nuts.

Magicka was fun. Too bad I never had anyone to play with.

No one ever even heard of gandalf until the movies came out

Shame the combat is hit or miss for people. I'd love to see Level-5 rerelease the game with the sequel's full-on real-time combat, kind of like what they did with White Knight Chronicles years back.
