A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I want to feel like a bad-ass wizard (sopuli.xyz)

Having come across videos of that new Dragon Age game and its (by the look of it) cool looking combat I've gotten the urge for something similar. Action RPG of some kind, being able to rock on as a wizard and blast spells all day. Some tactical element to spell slinging and comboing would be nice.

Love me some recommendations!

Hard disagree. Having nearly infinite ranged attacks and being able to run away while attacking made it way easier for me.

Maybe in 2 and 3 what you're saying is true, but sword and board was way harder for me than playing a mage with a shield in Dark Souls 1 and Elden Ring.

Magic damage felt spikier than other classes to me in Elden Ring, to the point early and mid-game where there were segments where I would run out of magic before getting through crowds even with all blue flasks.
