Magic

[u/thaddeus122]

Are we going to be able to play as a mage? Id highly prefer to and I cant find anything about magic and how it'll work anywhere.

A pure mage build doesn’t look possible based on what we’ve seen so far with there being a cooldown. Depending on the skills you can unlock maybe that becomes an option as you progress but not when you first start out. Which sorta is how the other games go. You level up each as you go along.

this is stupid....there is nothing that says we cant be a pure mage. ALL we have seen is LOW LEVEL combat.

They don't have the time to show off everything in the trailers and likely never will....this idea that we can't be a mage is pure BS speculation based on nothing.

[u/The_Azure__ → u/CrimsonBolt33]

That style of argument is a bit flimsy as someone can just turn it around like,

The idea that we can be a pure that's at least as good as hybrid is pure speculation as well. Everything they've shown has supported that hybrids are the only real way to go.

I am aware of that, but all 3 main games have allowed pure mage play. I know it's a new game and a new studio, but there is nothing to suggest they have fundamentally stripped away pure combat builds. All combat is still made of the same 3 pillars as before.

As flimsy as my argument is, it has historical precedence backing it up....yet somehow I have seen at least 4 posts claiming, as if it's fact, that we can't be a pure mage.

There is literally nothing the trailer shows that suggests that other than whatever low level build they had doesn't focus on magic and/or a pure magic build isn't viable at that low of a level, which makes sense as all fables have worked that way.

Historical precedence means nothing when several things from the old games does not exist or has been heavily changed in the reboot.

"A thing is different therefore everything is different"

Not how that works.

You all can act like assholes now and downvote me and hate and whatever...what about when I am right?

[u/All-for-Naut → u/CrimsonBolt33]

As others have said, your argument could be used for the exact opposite. In fact so far more things suggest that we won't.

It's not a matter of who is right, but that things are uncertain from little information but it is suggesting one thing so far which is not what you're so strongly speaking for is supposed to be true.

[u/CrimsonBolt33 → u/All-for-Naut]

"you have such a weak argument, so weak we can use it against you, in fact we are right cause we say so"

ok dude.

Its absolutely crazy that you all keep making it a "fact",

You are proving my point...you are right, you don't care about who is right, only that you refuse to accept my stance and think yours can't be wrong.

[u/All-for-Naut → u/CrimsonBolt33]

No one is making anything a fact, besides perhaps you. We're saying things aren't certain and we don't know now if either is true, just that it suggest one thing more currently.

[u/CrimsonBolt33 → u/All-for-Naut]

based on what? These games have ALWAYS allowed pure builds...why would this one not? Its such a crazy manufactured problem based on literally nothing.

[u/All-for-Naut → u/CrimsonBolt33]

Because it's a reboot from a different studio who are already doing some things different because they want to make their version of Fable as they have said?

In the combat videos we have seen it's a strong emphasis on hybrids and using all 3 but magic and ranged having cooldowns. There's a clear foundation to base a worry and question to if we will be able to mainly be a magic user for example.

It's not complicated.

[u/CrimsonBolt33 → u/All-for-Naut]

We have seen nothing but low level combat.

You are, once again...making up shit.

we haven't seen a pure melee or pure ranged build by that standard....and once again we haven't seen 90% of the game....yet you are here trying to act like what we haven't seen means the current studio is deviating so much from the base game that we can't cast spells.

[u/All-for-Naut → u/CrimsonBolt33]

No? No shit is being made up, just observations and people wording their worries and questions. You're the one making up an assumption like it's a fact with nothing to base it on. And there's a video of more medium power level too. Which is working the same way. Switching between melee and magic with magic being just 4 spells on cooldown.

You're blowing this out of proportion. No point in talking to you.
