Yes, PoE is practically impactless mediocre, but perfectly serviceable game. It's hardly the apocalypse. If not for the unnecessary attention given to the game here, it would already be forgotten. Literally, has nothing going on for it
Obviously, after reading that, I had to try...Grunker said:if you are good enough, you will face off against two dragons AND an archmage (I had to give up on that one and solve it through dialogue – making it the only fight in Pillars I have not beat).
You probably played on a Path of the Damned, though, while I am only playing on Hard in this playthrough.

Was going to goldfist you until I saw this! Mico my man, PotD is the only way to fly. You're robbing yourself by not playing on it!
Its the same shit, only bigger numbers.Yeah Path of the Damned is available instantly, and there's no way around the fact that it's almost a different game on that difficulty.
Og jep, jeg er dansker![]()

I could, and id be right. PoE isnt the only shallow and retarded game that features this kind of difficulty.You can use this sort of extremely reductionistic approach to argue that almost any game's difficulty has no real effect on anything.
Youve heard wrong, its retardedly easy even on PoTD from a tactical or strategical standpoint. The only real added difficulty is more busywork.From what I've heard, PoE's PoTD has a real effect on the tactics and strategies that are needed.
Grunker said:You will face high level kobold ambushes that engage you on three levels of the same area
For all of AD&D's mechanical faults, at least it tended to encourage some kind of consistency between gameplay and setting. A paladin was inherently non-squishy; kobolds were inherently weak scavengers.
Are you replaying BG2?
I was re-reading this thread for shits and giggles and only now does it dawn on me how funny this comment is, seeing as BG2 actually does exactly the same thing as PoE with Kobolds specifically.
Funny, I just finished Baldur's Gate yesterday, immediately after having finished Fallout and I struggle to put into words what a horrible experience BG is. RPGs had a right and wrong path in 1997 and they took the wrong one next year.![]()
That was oddly specific.Much like heroin abuse, continual AD&D fandom requires a combination of denial, selective memory and complete isolation from the outside world for most of the day.
