You misunderstood me. I didn't find the game challenging, but that's only half of my beef with it. The other half is due to the fact that I was denied further character progression and higher spell levels, which open more tactical options that, in turn, lead to more diverse and fun gameplay. Again, this is hardly acceptable in a h&s/dungeon crawling oriented game.kaizoku said:I would assumed that what you called "castrated spellcasters" would pose some challenge.
Then they've chosen a shitty module to implement in a cRPG.Keep in mind that Troika implemented the ToEE AD&D module and tried to be faithful
I find it ironic that you've posted this on a forum that advocates the freedom of choice and multiple approaches in RPGs.Play ToEE with a party of 5 or 6 and stop crying.
I don't think I will be trying that any time soon as I doubt that it fixes the shitty encounter design. Sure, I will get my character progression back, but will I get any adequate enemies that will actually pose a threat to my party this way? Mindlessly killing Bugbears by the hundreds is not my idea of fun.And install Co8 modpack FFS! Level cap gets raised to 20.
Why should I play MMO's when there are other D&D RPGs with actually good encounter design and challenging combat out there? RPGs like MotB and ToB (with the semi-official Ascension mod by Gaider himself) do not hinder character advancement throughout the whole campaign, but keep an appropriate difficulty level at all times.If that is your main concern, then why don't you go play some MMO then?
