Started on tactician, got fed up of having to fight the Avengers on every fight so restarted on Classic.
Explore all the way Not a big combat person. Think the last time I enjoyed long drawn out battles was when I was playing Baldurs Gate when it first came out. I use to enjoy strategy and tactical games more back then. Not sure why my mind shifted more into the explore, quests, story, companions, and simpler combat.
Anyhow off-track. I like explorer partly because I find turn based combat rather tedious and slow at times. So being able to get through the fights a bit quicker is a nice balance for me on game play.
Again I'm saying, as every first game playthrough, I'm playing on normal.
Who is (still) playing this game on hard difficulty?
Tactician and loving it.
I think it's harder than OS1 tactician mode. Spent a lot of time on fights but dont mind.
I've never tried Explore. Is there still somewhat of a challenge? Or is it win every time no matter what?
tsk tsk, become Avenger yourself!Started on tactician, got fed up of having to fight the Avengers on every fight so restarted on Classic.
I had the same experience. Decided to restart on classic after reading on tge forums that the only difference is "HP Bloat". No extra enemies, no added skills, no improved AI. The people who wrote seemed to have a lot of experience with the game and had even checked the files for differences.
Really enjoying my classic run, feels kind it was the better choice for me at least for my first go at the game.
Is this conformed? Indeed it didn't work often for me but I assumed that higher physical protection increased chance of ignoring it. I'll pay attention tonight.taunt only works after physical protections are removed.
Started on Explorer to learn things, thinking of going to Classic. I actually find DOS2 Explorer easier than DOS EE Explorer.
But the step between Explorer and Classic is kinda big (x2 health/armors on enemies, while you get ~35-40% less health/armors). I calculated it today by loading my saved and checking characters with all 3 difficulty levels (Classic to Tactician is less of a bump than Explorer to Classic).
Currently running classic, mainly because tactical is too tedious. The fights are too long later on; too drawn out. I feel even classic struggles a bit in that regard once you get to mid-level enemies (12-15).
