This Ancient Lich wants to know where sorcery. I just don’t feel this is a Conan game. No sorcery and this game feel like regular barbarian game that doesn’t fit in the Conan universe. I have no undead army or Lich form in Conan Exiles. My well of sorcery is dry. I feel naked without sorcery. I feel robbed of my power.
It breaks my dry heart knowing sorcery is not in right now.
They have started - in fact, some small things have been in here since Early Access (corruption, potions…) and while they are getting more patches done the content team will meanwhile be brainstorming on this thing, after they get around the dungeon(s) a little more possibly. Anyhow, don’t expect it too early, it will take a while to draw and implement the full system. Meanwhile, there will be other content pumped out as well, keep that in mind.
It got stabbed through the heart by a sword-wielding warrior… it’s one of the key elements of the “sword & sorcery” subgenre of fantasy: The guy with the sword is faster than the guy with the spell.
That depends if you’re in a sorcery user lair. The quick sand floor trap my favorite spell. Or swords that float and fight for me. Or the door you broke explodes when you destroy it. Or the food you stole and ate has magical parasites that are eating you from within. A Lich and Magic user doesn’t rush a battle. They gather information on you. Send small waves to see how you fight. Expose your sword wielder weakness. Knowledge is power.
They are adding necromancy in the next major patch. I think its on testing right now…but I could be wrong.
Using my dodgy memory (don’t quote me on this), but you will be able to have undead thralls (like skeletons). Not quite sure how they are going to do it, but they showed some sneak peaks in the last developer stream.
I won’t spoil stuff, but if you want more details go check out the stream. While this isn’t exactly sorcery, they did say it kind of relates to it, since necromancy is sorcery. It sounded like they have more sorcery stuff planned for the future (but thats me trying to read between the lines…lol).
The whole “I want sorcery now” thing started long before the “feat points” saga. It used to be somewhat funny in the beginning, but now it’s just annoying.
As long as sorcery good and transformations/summons are permanent it will be to my liking. Permanent Transformations allow you to transform and untransform at will. I hate temporarily summons. Temporarily summons are a waste of resources.
