Not afraid to change difficulties anymore .
First off this is not a rant but an inward observation of my usual gaming tendencies. I will be the first to tell you I like to play games on easy to get an unhindered play through and not getting your butt handed to you . My reflexes are not exactly fast enough to make up for any mistakes on a normal hard level in most games so easy/normal for me .
Where is this going you might ask ?
Well honestly not sure myself but here it goes . I played the Witcher2's first two play throughes on easy I know boo/ hiss . Then on the next few flopped back and forth on normal .Not satisfied really dieing very easy I felt I was missing something because of flopping back and forth between difficulty levels I wasn't sure . Enters Dark Mode shaking in my boots I start this puppy up . Mind you I am almost done with chapter 1 and have been swearing my way through it . Here it is it seems to be a more rewarding experience so far each fight feels like an accomplishment . What I was missing was the dynamic interactions though playing on easy . Shield and sword work from enemies or blocking from some creatures . Honestly it is kind of a thank you I like this little touch of change in combat mechanics across the difficulty levels sort of extra content for playing harder level instead of just dieing easier . You have the tools to live and you have to use them . I would not of tried a hard level if it weren't for Dark Mode thanks to CDPR for drawing me out like an Arachas . I have a new respect for you , you didn't just make it hard but made it rewarding as well . Thank you
