Mage gear

Remove all ads!

I like playing a mage, I like the gameplay of mages in the DA games even if it is a bit restricted but why does all the gear make me look like either a clown or a reasonably high class courtesan? Robes full of frills and feathers, cowls looking more like the hats old ladies wear than proper mage hoods? I remember in Oblivion there was a black robe and black hood, very basic and couldnt be enchanted much but I tended to use that more than anything cause it looked cool. I assume that all the warrior gear looks badass, why do the mages have to look like circus attractions?

 

Granted I'm play DA:O right now but get the right specialization and mages can wear the same gear warriors do.

But yes I get your point, I'm not sure if armor makes someone look impressive or not.

I beat DA:O as a mage, next I may push through the game with a city elf warrior (already have that one to Ostragar).

 

Joa, what until you get your champion armor in act III. It looks seriously bad ass.

 

If you are worried about mages looking lame, try making a warrior that uses 2-handed weapons. You end up getting weapons that are almost as big as your character, and aparantly weighs nothing. You run around like some soul-calibur anime hero character.

 

Yeah the champion armor looks badass, but most of the mage armor is terrible.

 

I'm glad I'm not the only one who is reminded of Soul Calibur. Which is fine with me cos I loooove Soul Calibur! XD

 

I think DAII sucks. I played it once and may never play it again. I pre-order it and everything because I loved DAO so much. I hope they continue to develop DAII DLC or an expansion as I will buy them as long as they have a well developed story and expand on Hawke and the world around him. It would be nice if they did an update that improve the envirnoment so it is not the same so much and improve the ability to equip armor or something along that lines for the companions.

 

joacqin I agree, Ive been put off playing a mage in the game because of the ridiculousness of the clothing, I long for a simple mages robe, the one from the second half of the demo looked pretty good but most in the game are $h!t. I also hate the hero armour crap.

 

The champion gear was hideous as well, it was less hideous but still really awful.

 

what really p!$$ed me off with the "hero gear" is that it it is the most powerful gear in the game, so as far as the developers are concerned this is how you should look atr the end of the game

 

In DAO we got to pick what our character wore as there was so many good items in the game; In DA2 the equipment is not as good and makes me wonder what the developers were thinking when they created the armor for this game.

 

The mage item pack improve on mage armors. I use those items over all other including the champion armor, because the last armor in the mage items is more power than the champion armor.
