Difficulty levels ?

Post by Mulligan »

Hi, what an absolutely PERFECT game.

Just beat it first time, but have a question thats not covered in the manual.

Whats the difference between Easy, Normal & Hard Difficulty ?

I played at normal, as a Fighter with the final stats as (including charms)
Strength 190
Agility 170
Magic 70
Constitution 110
and all resistances over 136, lightning at 165.

As Fighter i found the game easy, the special move was awesome at higher levels. But the finale was a bit dull, the members of the Black Ring fell too easily.

But still, this game was VERY GOOD !! Is Beyond divinity just as good ?
:mad: Oh, When all else fail, put the Dwarf up front!

I've never tried easy or hard, but I've been told it ramps up the level of difficulty of all monsters. It doesn't give you any more experience for kills.

I didn't find BD as good, frankly. It's arguably more linear, at least in some areas, and certain weapons/spells skills have to be taken in a specific order to really do any reasonable damage. Lockingpicking is broken, and pickpocketing is so cheesy that it amounts to a cheat. (I was able to grab 7 items from every merchant I encountered with just one level of it.) The interface is also pretty annoying. There's definitely more depth than in DD, however. Up to you.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.

i have to agree with fable here

the voice acting in BD is probably the worst i've ever ecountered in a rpg-game ( and i've played most of them )

i spent 10 pts on my lockpick skill before i found out it was broken :D :D so i've got a pretty bad character, but i refuse to start over again since i dont like the game very mutch

alot of bugs ( yes DD had alot of bugs aswell but it got better when the patches came )

it feels like im just running, killing, running , killing. no guilds, no really cool characters etc

i'm only @ act 4 now, so i dont know what's coming up next, but i have a strong feeling its the same as before

DD had a better RPG feeling about it, something BD lacks totaly sorry to say
