I can't believe you guys just added an update to make the game easier. The difficulty was fine, there is no reason to console-ize the game. Baldur's Gate 1 or 2 didn't hold hands and neither should this game. If someone couldn't beat the game in EASY mode you should have given people more than 2 days to work things out instead of patching things. Now you're taking out the strategy and the thrill of winning a tough battle and making this essentially the Xbox version for PC. Why not take out the isometric camera and make it 360 controller only?

I'd rather you guys have used this time to release the toolset and waited more to tone down the difficulty for more reports than pretty much handhold people.

Ugh. At least let me roll back the update.

What?!

[FFLB]

Wait, what!? Where does it state that difficulty has been patched down?

[that guy with hair]

Just looked at the Steam update:
'Made easy difficulty easier'
'Slightly increased attack etc for all party members at Normal Difficulty'

LOL, it can't be that difficult. I've been playing on hard all this time and I only had trouble with an orange-ranked Revenant, which was the first time Shale died tanking
Even early on when it began to get challenging after the Origin story, I killed the boss-ogre in the Ostagar tower on my second attempt. Even then, it was because the first time I ran through the door all my guys had been on half health...

But then again, if you don't like the changes to normal difficulty why don't you just play on hard or something (please bioware don't change the upper-difficulty levels, it is named 'hard' for a reason )

Restart steam and you'll see an update being downloaded. Then rightclick update news and you'll see they toned down the difficulty.

[ByblosHex]

I dont use steam sooo.....



Wait... can you EVER revert or SKIP patches on Steam products?

[FFLB]

Ah, I see. I don't have it on Steam.



Well, at least it's only Easy and Normal that have been patched. I wouldn't want Hard or Nightmare patched to be easier. I'm finding Hard to be a rather satisfying challenge.

[solidsmooky]

You can if you click on "don't update" but you have to log onto Steam to do it which makes you download the update anyway :/



Also I play on Hard but the point is that this was supposed to be the successor to Baldur's Gate 2 which didn't pull any punches, so why should this? Why continue dumbing down games? 50 years from now games will just consist of a single screen that says "Press A to win" at this rate.

[ByblosHex]

That's really lame. The difficulty was fine IMO. What a crappy idea for a "PATCH". Should be an optional free DLC or something.

No need for 50 years...just look at Wii Every button is a win button

[Noctaem]

hmm im gonna say no, since i believe if you click pause then play, it starts the update.. might be wrong though and since i have nothing to update on steam i cant test to find out

[Mescalito]

I am a bit surprised, I don't seem to see any announcement... just stopped playing 5 minutes ago, wondering how this game gets patched for those who don't use Steam... automatic download, patch on website...?

People will whine about anything....seriously....



Not everyone measures their self worth on how hard a game is.

[FFLB]

Seeing that the patch also fixes these problems:



# Fixed potential corruption of character statistics

# Fixed portrait appearance sliders when importing a character from the downloadable Character Creator

# Fixed import for preset face settings from the downloadable Character Creator

# Fixed video issues when running on a very wide screen display, including ATI Eyefinity displays



I don't mind it. Those who want the challenge can pick hard or nightmare, while those who just want to enjoy the story can pick easy. Normal doesn't seem to be affected too drastically. It's just upping your party's stats a bit during combat.

[solidsmooky]

Bioware, if you waited a MONTH to do this just to see if players could get acclimated to the game I wouldn't have minded if they still had difficulties. But 2 days? 2 days into Left 4 Dead 1 people struggled to beat the first level of the other campaigns.



That is my beef with you guys. That and the fact that this time and resources could have been used to release the toolset quicker... you know the thing that makes your community and game last longer?



You didn't even give people enough time to write about strategies. You just gave into a bunch of kids expecting Fable 2 where you can tie a drinking bird to the Ranged attack button to beat.

Perhaps you should... read... first.... before... typing... lots of... elipses... and... whining.. about... whining....

If you don't play on easy or normal, then so what?



The sky is not falling, and this is not some personal insult to you.



Just enjoy your game and let other people enjoy theirs.

[that guy with hair]

As long as they don't change hard or nightmare there is nothing terrible about this patch at all.

Not everyone for example has played BG2, especially with mods like Tactics or Sword Coast Strategems, Ascension for ToB etc (jesus, now THAT was a challenge).

If you guys actually read my posts you could formulate better responses, but then again you are accustomed to pushing 1 button to win games, why should I expect you guys to read and not over-exaggerate?
