Do you all hate me? I can't play on anything but easy, it hurts my brain.

[galelabriel]

Yes, you are a chump, but that has nothing to do with playing on Easy. It is due to asking such a silly question.

It's your game, play it how you want too. A lot of people enjoy playing this game on Easy because they care more about the story than they do the combat. Nothing wrong with that.

[StElmo]

Oh good

I've always maintained that games are suppose to be fun. What is the point of playing something so hard that it makes you want to rage out and break something? I'd rather not have more stress thank you.

[cJohnOne]

I always play my first run through on a game on easy. Then again, I'm a bad player.

[BomimoDK]

I always play on easy. Or it's always easy... i forge- wait! Yeah i just gear and build myself appropriately so that Hard becomes easy.

Really, your playing easy is very cool bro. You might be missing out on the thrill of the combat, but if it's not your thing, then all power to you mate.

I play on easy too. And it is my first playthrough, too. There is so much to learn for me...

[Bob Garbage]

Nothing wrong with that, but also nothing wrong with challenging yourself a little in future playthroughs. You can do it

I did play on a higher difficulty on the PC version of the game for the challenge. But I find it painful to do so on the console version. Interface wise, I am limited versus PC play.

I play on normal because i feel that's the intended difficulty for the enemies you are fighting. As in i want a dragon to be as hard to fight as a dragon and not as a butterfly. However, playing on easy is less stressful, but sometimes boring by lacking the chance of death in fights lol

[Bob Garbage]

It also doesn't encourage you to really know what your abilities do.

Actually, the difficulty where you and the opponents have stat-equality is Hard, not Normal.

I play all my games on easy, Im a button masher who likes to feel overpowered and badass. can't feel like that if I have to think about strategy and kite my enemies. Its your escape from reality do what you need to do to enjoy it.

Kiting =/ strategy
Kiting is what happens when you didn't strategize properly, mate. If you strategize adequately, you should be fine on any difficulty... Even without major headaches.

It depends. There are cases where kiting is the only strategy that will let you survive.

For instance, when I bought DA/Ultimate, first thing I did was play Golems of Amgarrak (GoA) on Nightmare with a new level 20 "test" character with no brought in equipment. Well, having not yet played the game, I obviously couldn't import a high level character with uber equipment. Additional challenge was not to use any potions, not a single one.

The general idea was to start the game with a real challenge, in order to properly learn strategy, so that I could then play the original campaign through pretty "relaxed" without fear to completely mess up my first "real" character.

Up to the final boss fight in GoA it was possible to get through with strategies other than kiting. Sometimes took me some time until I had a working strategy. Also started maybe 5 times new, because I didn't build the first 20 levels of my "test" character right.

But the final boss fight on nightmare was impossible without kiting. Well, maybe someone has a different strategy for a badly equipped level 21 character (you gain one level from other fights, before you do the boss fight). I would be interested to hear. Not in this forum (due to spoilers).

**edit** BTW, to get on topic again: Although I occasionally play on nightmare, I often play on easy. The main point is to have fun. When playing on easy I do not concentrate so much on the individual strategy of every fight, but on the general development of a "perfect character", who can just wade through dozens of difficult fights without a single scratch. I really don't like it too much, when my character gets hurt. And I hate it when I have to run away because my health is too low.

When I first played DA:O last year as a rouge, I had to play the game on easy. Now I am on my second playthrough on Normal as a spirit healer with 45 hours in and the game is not as difficult as I remember . DA:O seems like one of those games where you need to play on each difficulty level to understand the concepts of tactics, group styles, etc. before moving on to the next difficulty.

[thats1evildude]

I played through most of it on Normal, but turned it up for Hard at the end. By the end of Awakening, I had it at Nightmare because I was sleep-walking through most of the fights.

[Davillo]

Kill your self.

[PaulSX]

my first play through is on casual too and blind. in fact, I found it's not that easy the first time I played it. but later when I understood the game mechanics, the game really became quite easy even on nightmare.

That was probably the worst idea in the history of ever when the base game more than just attempts to ease you into it. the Base game hand holds you all the way to Ostagar. So that right there was a bad call on your part. I'll reiterate my statement. If you go in with the proper level so as to achieve the right amount of utility for the battle, you'll be fine. YOu should be able to do this very easily if you just play the game in proper order.

What you did there is equatable to trying to break the siege of denerim at level 8. Bad idea. so my statement still stands. If you strategize adequately, you can easily beat the game without kiting (and by adequately, i mean just understanding and using every skill you select for your characters.

Ah, so I should have "played the game in proper order..."  Until just now I thought that was for me to decide.

But never mind. I realize that you probably wanted to say that "strategizing properly" also includes taking the current level of your character and the level of the challenge into account. I certainly can agree with that.

However, what precisely the challenge is going to be, is a matter of personal choice, not to be decided by somebody else. Its also not a question of "properness", at least not for a single player game. The proper challenge was to survive GoA as a fresh out of the box character with no brought in equipment, and the challenge was successfully met. So what's bad or improper about that?

Once the challenge is set, one has to select the means how to cope with it. The means in that particular case was "kiting". Not that I love kiting. I actually hate it. But it was a natural consequence of the task set, and the task was to survive, not to survive in a particularly elegant way. So in the end I was content, to have succeeded. On the other hand, I am not too keen to do it again. But that is not necessary, because the challenge served its purpose perfectly: It was the best way (for me) to get to know the basic game mechanics in a very short time. Also the achievements helped me along in the real campaign. After that I could concentrate on the role-playing, character building etc. without too much fear to mess up my character and restart after 50 or so game hours.

For instance, there are people climbing Mount Everest with oxygen. I figure that is almost as bad as kiting. Should I tell those poor souls, that that "was probably the worst idea in the history of ever", and they should wait to climb Everest until they are at the "proper level" (of training)? Or if they actually planned to do it without oxygen, and now need it to survive, because the tour did not go exactly as expected, should I tell them that using oxygen to survive is "bad call on your part"?

Then I don't really get our advice to play GoA "at the proper level". Why should I play GoA as a level 30+ character? GoA's only purpose is to provide a high tactical challenge, there is (almost) no story involved. I think the total number of dialogues is 2. It is not integrated in any way in the story line. So it does not matter one bit, when it is played. I have not yet heard, that anyone has played GoA for its great storyline or role-playing. So if one accepts that GoA's main purpose is to provide the highest possible level of tactical challenge, at what character level in your opinion would this purpose be best fulfilled? At Level 20 or Level 35+?

frostajulie did a good summary what this game is about: It's the personal fun that counts and any choice that makes you happy is the correct one

I beat ME 1 like over 10 times and just a few months ago beat it on normal for the first time. It wasn't that hard but I care more about the story and adventure than the fighting.

Same is true for DAO. I only beat it once and I am close to beating it again but both times I was on easy. I'm not used to the kind of combat style DA uses so I'm not that phased by playing it on easy.
