Have been replaying the game a bunch, doing some experimenting, and really exploring the mechanics. It really has given me a new found appreciation for the Mage class, and honestly a new found lack of appreciation for everything else. Not t say it isn't fun, but the synergies from spells is just next-level.
That said, narratively, my two favorite Origins and characters to role-play are the Dwarf Noble and the Human Noble, both of which exclude you from being a magic user, so I have gotten a lot of time to at least demonstrate my enjoyment with the other classes
some minor edits plus more buttons in progress!
