Yeah, new to the game, this will be my first time through. And to be honest I will probably only play 1 time through, so I want it to be the best experience it can.
Even on Medium? Seems like medium should be the way to go, no?UlteriorModem said:Just be prepared to have to try some fights several times... fight / fail / reload... rinse repeat.But then again that may even happen at 'easy' level.
That only serves to make the problem worse - to compensate for screwy enemy toughnesses, you'd want to have the player level and gain talents very quickly at first, but quickly drop off around the point where the first act ends, slowing to a tiny trickle by the end of the game. That'd at least go some way to mitigate for the messed up difficulty curve.STGhost said:Well you can try my talent point mod, though towards the end you will still be rather powerful because I'm lacking feedback on how many points fewer would be good, but if you go to http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Talent_point_balance_mod you can see a comparison of what my mod does and what the normal distribution is.
I suggest medium when it's your first gameplay. You can experiment with potions and oils, Bombs are fun but I don't use them very much. And your 2nd gamplay you can do on hard. I'm sure you will play at least an other round just to find out about the other path. Then you are already used to the game mechanics, know your enemy and start with hard modeAstroCat said:So what do you think. Experienced gamer, first time through, only going though one time. Wants some challenge but nothing that stops the game flow or makes me redo a part a zillion times. I want to take my time, explore the world and the story and have fun. Medium or Hard?
Ditto. The opponent always gets better opening rolls than I do, regardless of strategy. You got four of a kind 1s? I've got four of a kind 2s!One time I rolled a six-high straight with some careful holding of dice, and the opponent immediately rolled a five of a kind 6s. From a FRESH roll without holding anything. Before EE, I always played until I bleed every last coin out of the opponent before I move on, but now I only play them to advance the gambling quest since it takes so damn long just to beat them once.tragic001 said:The only thing that i have found to be more really difficult. is the Dice playing. Before i really had no problem, but now i get out diced very easily and have resorted to saving each game before a match.
Ok I already Forwarded the question – soon we will answer you Cheersthehyecircus said:It just seems that in some parts the game's a bit more difficult. Am I imagining things? I don't think I am since I got killed at the start of chapter 1 by those Barghets, heh, but thats really the only thing I've noticed different difficulty-wise. Someone mentioned Boss Battles as mroe difficult now too.
