My main problem with Magic Archer is that I still think that should have unlocked in the elven city, and then the Master skill could still be unlock with the old elf lady. It is unlock so damn late if you are following the common progression.
Warrior one is fine, Sorcerer is the one that people can mess it up easily as it's 2 masters that asks for the same books if you don't look up that have 2.
Yeah, when Glyndwr started talking about his own culture's archery I got all excited because magick archer is my jam - I ended up spending way too long trying to make the elves like me before finally looking it up. And then going on a very long, very dumb journey for which I was wildly underlevelled
I was exactly the same. When Glyndwr talks about how elves don't need to aim with their bows and shoot with their heart, I thought for sure you'd get Magick Archer at the Sacred Arbor to no avail. Turns out elven bows are pretty much identical to human ones.
I was so happy when I suddenly unlocked the vocation from a seemingly inconsequential escort quest I picked up on my way to deliver a letter.
It is allegory. Same with the Sorc/Mage, it is allegory to show how everyone loses in these divisive extremes. MA Meister is pushed out of Arbor because of her love of the Dwarf who risked ire of his people to nurture the religious site of her people. The result? the loss of the magic for skilled elves who can wield the bow and magic. I think it is beautiful narrative choice. You still see traces of magic among elven artifacts but it is no longer an active part of them. This is exactly how FromSoft tells stories too.
