Shameful?  That would mean you would feel shame over something countless strangers don't even know or care that you're doing.

Not a good way to live, friend.

Do as you please.

No shame at all. You need strategy to beat the game, but there is a huge luck element and you can't really affect that.



luck element ? please explain to me how luck as anything to do in this game ....

It doesn't, but you are going to recieve randomness when it comes to what you hit and what misses you. If you were to reload a battle and play through it a couple times, you will notice the hit or miss ratio favour you more or less depending on the outcome.

i agree but then again it doesnt really have an impact on gameplay. I mean damage and hit ratios are based on stats not dice rolls right ?

I have been playing this game on hard from the beginnig and ofcourse its challenging but IMO its ment to be played on hard! Only then the game mechanics work as they should (friendly fire ect.)

Normal feels about right and Hard is a little harder, so for me easy feels like cheating. You gotta go by your own meter.

honestly, "easy mode" feels more like what normal should be, there isnt a real easy option.  so i dont feel bad at all playing in easy mode.  normal is just too dificult for me, at least for my first playthrough while im still learning the ropes.  easy mode is just the right ammount of difficulty to keep you occupied and not bored, without getting so hard its actually somewhat  frustraiting and unenjoyable.  after getting a better grip on the game i may move up to normal, but honestly i dont ever see myself even bothering with hard mode, and nightmare may as well not even exist. 

so just know your not alone, who cares if we play on easy mode.  if it helps us enjoy the game more, why the hell not?  then again ive never been a "hardcore" gamer.  i often play on easy mode the first time through a game, then step up to normal there on out.  i rarely ever play on harder difficulties.  i dont play games for challenge, usually, i play to escape reality and feed my imagination/  plus i just dont like difficult games, loosing makes me mad, i have patience issues.  :D

Play on the most fun difficulty.



I just think that if you approach a multiwipe battle with sliding down to easy, you will never learn how to improve your tactics and become a more proficient player who does not need to play on easy.



I play every game on normal since it sounds like a normal thing to do. If I cannot solve a situation in multiple retries with different tactics, I might look up a strategy tip on the net and try to implement that. Also on normal. But that's me.



Play the game however it best suits you but I suspect you feel that going easy is a bit like cheating and the after-battle satifaction cannot be all that great.

My first playthrough im playing on easy, learn the ropes/mechanics, next playthrough on a new character will be on a higher dificulty, etc, play how you like it, easy isnt cheating, some parts can still be challenging.

It's your business, but if it's a console version we're talking here I suspect you'd be better off saving dosh and just watching the cutscenes on youtube :happy:

Aye, this whole idea that Nightmare is too easy because you can pull enemies one at a time from range is a little silly I think.


Can you? I can never split mobs the same way it can be done on Infinity (one block of fog of war at a time), once a grunt gets hit all his pals come down at me. BTW I don't know how line-of-sight works in this game because it seems to focus on positioning and it's non-existent on consoles.

I play on easy too, but that's more because I'm more interested in advancing the story than re-trying a difficult fight to the point I give up playing.

Perhaps it's my own obstinate disposition that forbids me going down on the difficulty level.

Easy is great for learning! I learned how to take down Dragons on easy, then I learned how to do it on a higher difficulty.

If you have more fun on easy difficulty then go for it, theres a reason they put different levels of difficulty into games.

I had to do it. some battles are just too tough.



a couple dragon battles, and a couple revenant battles were just too tough for me.



sometimes I switch to easy when I'm lazy though :).



I know it's a SP game, but I still feel like a loser playing on easy.

I'm playing on Normal, for my first playthrough, I think it suits me just about fine. Most battles aren't *that* hard and yet, the boss encounters are still challenging. When I play it again, I'll probably go for hard or nightmare, just for the thrill of the challenge, rather than the enjoyment of the story. The only thing that annoys me is when you have to deal with tons of enemies, like the Back Alley quests in Denerim.

I'm a bit more stubborn. I started on normal and I want to finish on normal, but I've been on one skeleton fight right in the middle of the game since last night. I come to the forums to find new tactics to use, but this time if fear I might have to lower it easy. When there are so many things to attack and my guys are right in the middle, it's too hard to even start a working strategy.

the one in the forest with a revenant? That one is hard. I can do the revenant fights when he is solo, but if he has lots of help... no can do.



and dragons- not even close (although one unnamed dragon I fought was pretty easy)

Dude, if a bunch of flickering pixels on a computer monitor can make you feel like a loser, you may want to think about why you're stting in front of it . . .

I love this game, but I'm having a very difficult time with it--especially the random encounters when travelling. Recently, I was travelling from the deserted battlefield back to Denerim (s/p), and encountered a pretty nasty band of darkspawn with a few shrieks and a TON of archers. There must have been 30 of them. How do I get around something like that?
 
I sat back and had Morrigan cast blizzard and Wynn cast earthquake. The only problem is that they gained so much threat that the archers shot them to death in 5 seconds. When I rush straight in, the same thing happens.

I'm not really having that much fun playing this game for how hard it is to be perfectly honest. I'm currently playing with Allistair, Wynn, Morrigan, and my main which is a dwarf warrior. So, should I switch this to easy mode? Is there shame in that?

Regards,
Ignusknavery 


Ignus,
Play how you want.  I stuck to normal most of the time and switched to easy if I got stuck for too long with a battle.  As long as YOU enjoy it.  I found if I stayed on Easy too long I didn't feel a sense of accomplishment.  So that's why I switched back and forth.

Try to figure out your play style too.  Don't be afraid to pause the game and swith up tactics.

Not in the least. In fact from what I understand you don't even miss out on anything by playing it in easy. Everyone has different levels of skill and considering we're referring to video games who the hell really cares?



I say play it at whatever mode you find fun with because in the end that's all that really matters anyways.

I agree... there is not a shame to play at easy... 90% of my game i played i started on easy to learn about game... system, how to fight with bosses etc...

when u think that game is to easy switch rank up to normal or if u feel god to hard or nightmare:)

thats my opinion:wub:
