Mage: The Awakening/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 21:

* [[Mary Sue]]: ''The Unbidden'' parodies the hell out of them with False Awakenings. The sufferer believes they have awakened on a path no one has ever heard of before. They gain power at an amazing rate (read: from Gnosis 1 to Gnosis 9 in ''a week'')-- and ultimately destroy themselves and a sizable portion of the surrounding landscape trying to reach the Supernal. Poor deluded bastards.

** To a lesser extent this applies to Low Wisdom, High Gnosis Mages, in their own heads... To everyone else it's just [[A God Am I]] with real god-like powers.

* [[They Changed It Now It Sucks]]: Many fans feel that, in comparison to the previous game, this one is more generic fantasy, and a little over the top on the grimdark-- probably because Ascension was almost always played as a straight superhero game. ''Intruders: Encounters With The Abyss'' is proof that the game is not light, considering it includes {{spoiler|an MMORPG that makes players psychically compelled to play and uses their life-force to summon Abyssal entities ''en masse'' to punch a hole through reality by sheer number of Abyssal intrusions.}}
