Which would you choose (for Mage)? Me: Blizzard Icebreaker Replenish Time Slow Bellara's "Galvanized Tear" looks cool also ("Pull of the Abyss" vibes), and Emmrich's "Entangling Spirits" sounds like fun, though I don't remember seeing it.

So if you back yourself into a corner mechanically cus you are an ass to everyone and ruin their lives, is this good roleplay or bad game design? It doesn't back you into a corner so much as mean they develop in certain ways to match your character. So, if you are a direct asshole, likely some paths will open up on the companion screen and some will be closed off. It is possibly a little like friendship/rivalry in DA2 where you relationship affected some aspects of their specialism. This time round it will just be more noticeable. I am assuming it is intended to make for better role-playing but instead of companions abandoning you altogether, they just become different as a result of your influence. So may be more offensive in the fighting style and less defensive, etc. However, they did mention how companions might leave you for a time, only to return for major battles for the greater cause, so there could be that aspect to it too.

Which would you choose (for Mage)? At present I'm favouring Evoker so that would likely mean I would team up more with my fellow Shadow Dragon Neve and this might allow me to be more varied in my choice of elemental magic because she focuses in ice magic. It depends on whether we would be better off doubling up on effects or contrasting one another. The same goes for the other mages. Likely it would be preferable to really sync up with Bellara if you are a Spell Blade and Emmrich if you are a Death Caller. Then keep the other mages for where you need a different form of attack to the one you major in. I assume the same is true for the companions of other classes as well. If I want to focus on fire magic, then to boost my abilities I would probably sync up with either Davrin or Taash. For a necrotic build, then Lucanis would be the choice. I think Harding is more electrically focused but I am not sure about that. It is difficult to know until I can actually see the game for myself and explore what my options are. I am encouraged though by much of the feedback and seeing the combat in the videos that seems to suggest it won't be as hard to make an effective team as I originally feared. I am definitely going to aim for being either an Evoker or a Spell Blade but will make a final decision between the two once I actually start playing.

Sorry to tell you that, but I could have guessed female Elf/human mage as the most popuplar. It's the exact same thing as every MMO I played in the last 20 years.
