too difficult

Remove all ads!

I must admit that I am having a lot of trouble in the battles in the game, even though I play it at an "easy" difficulty level. For example the guardian in the cuffin in the sewers is really pissing me off!

Is it just me, or is this game just very difficult!?

 

I think the game just requires you to use everything at your disposal. Spells, potions, strategy, a variety of characters and classes. I've had some tough fights, but that is what it's all about.

I'm playing at the "core rules" level. it's a chellenge, but it hasn't been impossible.

 

I guess its just what your used to.
I did some of the harder quests at the beginning and am now finding the battles easy. Some of the harder battles I lost characters but used the resurrect spell.
I think the games well balanced but its just the battles are set to specific experience levels and if you do them out of sequence you'll find them hard.

 

I think you definately get the hang of it as you play, on my first trial go as a druid, I was awful, can't count the amount of potions I wasted, but now I'm half decent at it...I think different classes and of course the ability roles (lucky highs) helped me a bit, I've got a pretty strong cavalier with good constitution so I hardly ever get seriously hurt.

 

i think the game can fit all skills many a time i been thumping the desk in frustration at a monster i then sit back learn a couple of different spells and it is suddenly much easier,try experimenting with summoned creatures to do your work for you or in worst case just leave try something else then return at a slightly higher level at least its not that tough in other games you would have to get past one boss to continue the game at least here not every enemy has to be killed even the dragons i suppose you get out as much as you put in,imagine how frustrated youd be if you had to get past the firkraag dragon before you could do anything else ,thatd suck at least you can leave and then come back later

that i think is one of the beauties of this type of game having many options...

 

If you are new to Infinity Engine games, make sure you know to PAUSE THE GAME DURING FIGHTS. It's a rather common mistake for new people, one that makes the game essentially impossible.

 

I also find it helps if you read the manual

 

I found a good way to make up experience on the early levels was to memorise spells.
Keeps your spell box cleared out as well.

 

Just be careful you don't use up all your spell slots though, did it without realising it with Aerie. Surprise surprise...
