This is made by The Escapists, really short, but enlightening in the reasons going arcade-style for combat. Basically Laidlaw  made a point in that now "NORMAL" difficulty is the same as "CASUAL" was in Origins.

Nice find. Thanks for posting it.

I still think it's a good thing, provided the harder difficulties are as challenging as they make them out to be (the "haxx0red" demo is unreliable). The difficulty setting in Origins didn't change difficulty significantly enough, except for casual which was really easier. Hard was just a little more dificult than normal, and nightmare barely more difficult than hard.

DA: origins difficulty settings were too similar (at least for me).

it seems that in DA2 the threshold gap between them is higher this time. which is a good thing in my book.

Seems perfectly reasonable to me, although someone will probably point to this as evidence of the decline of Western civilization.

Good points. I think/hope that they will be more challenging this time. At least Bioware has a good idea for what each level means now.

Well guess i haven't seen the full game yet but the normal difficulty used in the demo sure isnt as ridiculously easy as easy was in DAO

I'm just hoping the difficulty is a bit more balanced this time around, I usually play DAO on Normal or hard but there are battles i simply have to lower the difficulty on...

EDIT: The only way normal is like casual is that it doesnt take ages for a single enemy to die in DA2

Casual must be overly casual then!

On "hard" I will play then. Origins wasn't difficult for me on normal, I liked that difficulty.

[ToJKa1]

Well i have to admit that at first normal in Origins was a bit too difficult, but after learning the tricks it baecame easy. From that description it sounds like it'll be safe to start DA2 on hard. I think "Playing the whole party optimally" used the be old "normal".

[Stevie 402]

Thanks. Now I know I need to play on hard then

Agreed and agreed. I will start on Hard as I have experience of DA:O. I'm sure for me it will be hard enough as combat is not my main goal of the game (but I want it hard enough to keep me focused).

Just proves how terrible 99% of the players are. You can literally set up tactics and faceroll your way through every battle on noob difficulties.

hard it is then

[Garlant]

Stupid rules they came up with. There's no reason they couldnt do hard = normal + friendly fire

[Shogun-Seth]

Thanks for posting. I got my butt handed to me during a couple fights in DA:O, but i liked it. It was the first game in a long time ( and since) that made me rethink my tactics and use the squad as a whole. I may start on normal still, but after a few levels if i have not died, or at least have a few injures, i will bump it up.

Although, playing on Xbox with no auto-attack, the balance on normal might be just right.

[Cloaking_Thane]

hmm debate b/t hard and NM then

[AkiKishi]

What he's saying that peoples ego's can't take playing on casual for the most part. They should just rename it Cinematic rather than casual, that removes any negative connotations for most people.

[Recycled Human]

Great stuff, really looking forward to nightmare this go around!

[wowpwnslol]

I simply can't understand why they can't make a truly brutal difficulty for people who don't breathe through their mouth. I am fine with having noob difficulties, but why are they nerfing harder ones too? It's unacceptable that Bioware is trying to soothe egos of children just so they can post "Hey, I beat teh game on hard" on forum

[LexXxich]

@Neofelis
FF does indeed hurts immensely. On middle to high levels, basic talents like Mighty Blow would kill your party members in one hit, and one mis-aimed Fireball would be a wipe. That's because player damage (and enemies' health) scales much more aggressively than player's health.

At least a few people from Bioware must beat it so they know it's possible, and it must be possible for all classes. If one person can do it, many players can, especially with pause-and-play.
