In a Tales game, I'm never going to pick the wizard, because they're boring. The AI can have the wizard.

The exception to this rule is Rita, who owns.

what if instead of lightning coming out of my finger tips and frying my enemies in a spectacular lightshow that exhibits the game's stellar graphics, i shoot at them with pointy sticks

hmm what if they're cool pointy sticks, like they explode, or make poison clouds, or grapple targets together

Archery is useful if you need to douse a torch at the other end of a room, or lay down some moss to sneak on.

Gotta be honest, I only play the Thief guy or the Cleric/Paladin guy. Archer guy can get hosed, though.

There is some very sensual touching going on in the cutscene there. i don't actually think it means anything sexual but it's cool how it contrasts with modern ideas of what bad ass stuff should be like. It even seems authentic to some kind of chivalric masculine touching from a tyme longe gone

one thing i didn't like about dark souls 2 was that they changed the scythe to a more realistic version where its a piece of poo poo and extremely bad for fighting

The archery in Thief 2 is epic but pretty much the entire game is built around using the bow to be a sneaky little poo poo.

In pretty much every other game all a bow does is shoot pointy sticks.

You big dummy!
bards are so GOOD (not bad at all!) with their instruments they will kill everyone with the sound of music.

Who needs a sword or magic when you have that kind of power? Unless it's a magical artifact that a bard can use, like a magical staff that shoots super compressed air magically.

Bards are silly bitches, and the closest thing that rpgs have to a jester.

Thundercallers can basically chain stun everything by casting three 9d8 soundbursts per round that are supernatural and thus aren't affected by spell resistance. And they can do this for quite some time since each activation uses a bardic song count.

Per raw anyway. Technically.

Also one of these times I am going to find a reason to summon a piano or something and drop it on someone with the summon instrument cantrip. That I can cast as much as I want all day.

sword guys are cool when they get lots of different moves and you have to actively parry and counter and such. arrow guys are sometimes cool whne the game doesnt just have you stand in the back plinking away, but instead has you in the thick of the action rapidly switching between melee and bow, dodging dudes and putting an arrow in their gay skull at point blank range then switch to your blade, parry and riposte the next guy etc. magic guys are cool when you actually have cool spells with wildly different effects, not just different colored fireballs.
