This Ain’t a Cutscene, You Still Playin’!
Dragon Age Inquisition How to Play Mage
Longtime fans of the Dragon Age series might have some issues with the new combat system. It’s action-y. It’s fast. It’s also tactical. But more than anything, it demands your absolute attention as a Mage. Sure, every character has to click or tap ‘R’ to attack, but few characters have the spells and abilities of the mage.
The mage clicks one of his spells. He fires off the spell or, in some cases, the game pauses and a target is acquired (think Barrier). Then the animation plays out. Now, in the last couple games this would be where the mage would finish up, observe his or her handiwork, and continue his magical assault.
But in Dragon Age: Inquisition they’ll just stand there observing if you don’t remind them everyone’s not dead yet. Keep that trigger finger ready.
