Philogosten Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Now I have done everything in this game at least 5 times by now because of my obsessive personality and the fact that I adore Dragon Age Orgins. However there are some aspects that annoy me, now for me I always go lore over balance because the lore is what keeps me absorbed in that magical world. Now what I am bitching about today is how underpowered blood magic is in the gameplay when in the lore they basically beats you over the head with the fact that Blood magic is uberpowerful and terrifying, yet the blood magic spells in the game are worthless. Now before anyone goes "no blood magic is good, you just dont use it right." Yes I do know how to use it right and it is weak. Oh and before I hear the whole "well its like that for balance" Well then how come blood mages are weak yet Arcane Warriors are basically an "I win" button oh and dont even get me started on the battle mage specialization that makes every fight laughably easy in Awakening. Now I also suspect someone might say "well blood magic is weak unless you are sacrificing a lot of people for strong spells" Oh really? explain how a incredibly low level Jowan was able to knock out Greagoir, Irving and the Templars with them with just the blood that came from him stabbing his hand. So does anyone have any GOOD reason why Blood Mages are underpowered other than maybe the writers trying to discourage people from picking that spec as another one of their attempts at railroading the character to not be a malificar?
