So I'm playing Underrail on Hard Mode, with a knife build. Classic XP system. One thing about the game - after a while, you just end up sick and tired of it because there is absolutely no challenge. So I built this amazing character, but what in the world do I do with it? And the thing is, there are so many tools at one's disposal that you never really need to make use of. So I have a taser, energy shield, morphine, adrenaline, eel sandwich, lots of other items I carry around in case I need it. But I almost never do!!!
Partially the XP system is to blame. My previous game I played on Oddity with a pistol build, but in that game I had to clear the whole of Lower Underrail + Caves to get to Level 18. So I was mostly lower level and that too with a gimped build so I was challenged more. But it was also my first playthrough so I didn't use drugs, energy shields, and other things that would have made the game so much easier. But even then I hit a point of no challenge around level 16 or so.
The best part of the game was Depot A, but it got nerfed! I want more challenging areas for high level characters, encounters with more and tougher enemies that will actually make you use the resources and tricks at your disposals, more monsters with interesting and powerful special attacks that are a challenge to kill, more variety in attacks directed against you and your character.
