by the time you are very powerful the sword guy will always be wearing cool looking stuff

but with wizards you are hoping the designers didnt just give you a bunch of weird robes with a matching dunce cap. Sometimes wizards get to wear cool clothes but I dont know if I could take that chance

yeah but at that point in the game the wizard can blow up ur brain witrh a single thought, or travel back in time and murder your grandfather, or conjure a catastrophic storm of magical energy on ur rear end, bitch a wizard dont need fancy clothes to gently caress you up. meanwhile while the warrior looks cool, his attacks consist of a million variations of hit guy with sword very hard. maybe a charge ability and a shield bash if ur feeling fancy

wearing cool stuff and looking cool is one of the most important stats, in any game

i dont care if you can cast aneurysm on a guy's great-grandfather through time if you look like a huge ponce

hand is free
in some types of games, mageguy is the hard difficulty mode, and SOMETIMES more fun overall if
you aren't feeling like easy-mode swordguy

but sometimes designers spent more time making swordguy into funguy

someone mentioned Tales games, I noticed the mages are getting more fun to play

Rowan was amazing in Xillia, and the girl in Hearts R with the paintbrush is really fun as well

Your powergaming is weak if you can't work out a way to wear cool clothes, too.

This game is perfect for empty-headed dunces that don't like to think much!! Of course, I'm a genius... I wonder why I'm so good at it?!

back in the day i convinced a GM in ragnarok online to make me a clone of the poop hat that gives you like 10% more damage against humanoids and make it a bongun hat instead so i looked cool, instead of like an idiot

sadly, the gm was unable to prevent you from looking like an idiot

Depends on how satisfying either one is, some games have seriously bad magic or limp and lifeless close combat.

Anyone who plays an elder scrolls game as a thief/archer might as well start cheating
