Your thoughts on Realm of Magic so far?

I broke my leg and had surgery last week where a rod was placed in my leg so I'm late asking. But yall knew i was coming :)

Before this pack was released there was a lot of controversy about it soooooooo how do you feel about it so far?

I honestly love it. I like that it introduced magic into the game and made it a tiny bit more fun. If I had listened to the negativity based on how others felt I probably wouldn't have even tried. So I actually enjoy it<3

  • I like it but it could have been better. I got Vampires today and they are more fleshed out and the houses In Forgotten Hollow are great.
  • Regarding the Overmax locking bug for those with bloodline traits:

    Okay, I'm not going to claim that this will work with everyone. I just noticed that it worked for me.

    My main spellcaster, with a weak bloodline, had reached virtuoso, and then gained enough points to wrap around. She did not get "refunded" any points, but I could not access the perk tab. She wrapped around again, and I still couldn't access the perk tab. Other than the perk tab not being accessible, everything looked fine, so my encounter with the bug might be different than others. Also of note, I'd been aware of the bug and so selected her perks expecting to run into it, so this wasn't a great tragedy for my plans, though there were still a couple of perks I wanted to get for her.

    Then I picked up Island Living, and as part of installing IL, I did a repair on my game. This is something I do every time I install new official content. I also do it after patches.

    When I went in to play tonight, I could access the perk tab and spend her extra perk points.

    Now, I don't plan on getting her any more perks, so if/when she gets enough spellcaster xp to max out the bar again, I won't be impacted by it at all, but I acknowledge that that is a personal thing.

    Her daughter (currently a toddler) has an ancient bloodline (the father is the son of Emelia and Darrel Charm) so things may be different with her.

    Again, not saying that installing new content and/or repairing the game will work for everyone, and I've recently picked up a handful of mods, some of which impact magic (though not Zero's fix for this, as I'm a little confused about its limitations) and I use MCCC - and any of those could be having an impact on my game as well. I just thought it might be something that people may want to be aware of, in case it can help their game.

    Can we sell potions yet?


    No. :'(
  • I want to put I like it because I really do, but there are so many fixes needed, the potion prices for one, and it's been out so long without fixes that I want to say I don't like it.
    The spells are also disappointing in some aspects and the potions as well. I've not done lineage yet, but everyone's saying it's broken too. I went ahead and bought it because I figured the bugs would be fixed soon as they're not minor and yet... still waiting as I don't do mods.
    I really looked forward to this pack. Occults are my main plays and this... I just don't know.
  • I had really high hopes for this pack especially since they did such a good job with vampires, but it's actually really boring and I barely play as spellcasters now. I also really am annoyed that kids got nothing, they could have at least had some outfits like Vampires. The CAS items are nice though.
  • I don't own it yet. I was looking forward to having witches, but after looking at people's reviews, I decided it can wait.
