And yeah that includes Morrowind and Dark Souls I'm sick of magic in games and the fantasy setting is so boring and over played. The only thing worse is probably Space games.

I don't care if its a potion or a medpack or a doctor or syringnes... they're all way cooler than magic itself. No one ever does anything interesting with magic in games, half the time its just a gun thats different colored complete with its own ammo system (mana or whatever...)

That depends, are we talking something like Mario fireballs, where it's fun, or some dungeons and dragons fire balls, where it costs twenty MP to cast and you're a gigantic homo?

videogames always gently caress up flamethrowers

not saying that shooting magic outta your hands is usually better but the noble flamethrower is never allowed to be at its potential

sorry my child like op, but there is no magic in video games, but only abstractions that allow you to navigate a video game to its win conditions. there is no functional difference between say a fireball and a rocket launcher. the aesthetics may change, but the particulars are no different and if you are so superficial as to be offended by the visual form the abstraction takes, then i truly pity you while i play great awesome games.
