Game too easy?

Post » Wed Mar 06, 2013 7:18 am

Something I really dislike about the game is how easy it is, especially the vanilla version.
Im no pro gamer anything, and also started playing on expert.
Now, however, im playing with mods to make it harder on a revamped master difficulty (which is statistically 2 times harder than vanilla master)

But after a while you discover the tricks and can pretty much handle everything if played correctly, then im talking about any ranged character with a follower/atronach to tank the enemies.

Also the 100% mana reduction enchants for destruction is way too overpowered (stunlocking) and in my opinion shouldnt be achieved in the game, but the game allows you to have it so its kinda "hard" not to take it when you know you can.

I was wondering your view on this and how you handle this issue

Never had a problem with thinking the game was to easy. Just because you know you can do it, doesn't mean you have to.

I don't use 100% magicka cost reduction, stun lock, the restoration loop, hidden merchant chests, God mode or any of the other 'glitches'. As noted earlier, it comes down to

avoiding said tricks does much more for the fun and difficulty of the game than linear damage increases like difficulty.

Figure out which of your tricks actually make the game more enjoyable and which do not.
And get rid of the ones that don't make the game more fun.

For example:
Personally I never enchant because it makes looting completely pointless.
And tempering it tilts the game balance in favor of faster bows, swords, and daggers, which limits my viable weapon diversity.
