It has been pretty easy thus far, but now that I'm in Denerim It's getting really hard. I have to pause every second to make sure everyone is performing optimally. I am playing normal on the PC version. I've had to load quik saves over and over again in a few of the side quest battles. I barely won my last battle, after attempting 6 or 7 times. The last guy alive was my tank and I dueled a mob with 10% hp left.. Thank god I made it out of that one finally...

Fair warning guys. Make sure you spend a few points on some CC in the first few parts of the game. I just now finally bought an AOE spell with my mage and it's been hurting not having one till now. Also, don't forget to have a healing spell. those health potions start to cost a lot of dough and don't always hold up.

Normal difficulty seems rather challenging. At least it's not extremely easy or impossible. I honestly can't imagine what the hardest difficulty on PC is like...

I had a real hard time on normal until I was able to give Morrigan some healing spells, Thank the maker for AI that does not realize when its friends are attacking.

What really helped me out a lot was to get as many CC spells as possible. I've been using Morrigan and another caster (spoiler friendly) for Heals/CC and my main and another for tanking. Been working out well and haven't really had to turn on EZ mode yet.

It was fairly challenging on the hard setting on PC until about level 12 - then it got much more manageable. Still difficult in spots, but my healing mage really has come into her own and keeps my party alive fairly efficiently. Some of the more difficult battles still result in wipes, but it's not nearly as prevalent as it was earlier. I think I've also got a better handle on how to manage battles - I can't wait to try a different Origin and party make up to see what other talent and companion combinations work.

I find it usually fun, often challenging, occasionally frustrating. Playing on hard.

I am running about 90% on normal..the other 10% on easy...( the 10% is after I get my ass handed to me more than three times in a row in an encounter...then it goes back onto normal again )

works good for me....and my pride...lol.

I am going to try it on nightmare and hard after I get through it once....( and lots of duct tape to put my ass back on)

Not difficult at all, I'm plan ahead and have advance strategies and the game is sooo easy even on the hardest difficulty you just have to be good at strategy and play smart

[Lukertin]

There was this one battle (the Caravan quest you get from the Chanter's board in Denerim) I went in there and died like 15 times in a row. It was reallly frustrating too because I would get really close but missed a potion or whatever and my last char would die when the last enemy had 1% hp left

I'd really like to see gameplay footage of someone breezing on nightmare. I can't wrap my head around having all the tactics in the world getting by from having all the numbers jacked way up against you. A one-shot is a one-shot, even if you got all fancy with the clicky.

So far, not as difficult as I thought it would be on hardmode, but I'm still young (level 9). I just finished up the Mage's Circle quest without dieing to either boss. I did wipe to the ogre in the tower of ishal and a revenant though.

If that's the one with the boss level caster i can sympathise.  That one took a while because those highly level casters do a HUGE amount of damage and are very resistant to spells. 

The game took some adjustment for me to understand that anyone hurling spells or shooting a bow someone has the ability to own anyone.  I actually ignore anyone with a CC weapon now and just let them beat on me till the mages and archers are dead.

you sir.....are the "quote master" of the week.


I can see this on t-shirts, coffee mugs ...... and cafepress thongs.

Jesus i can't believe you guys are playing through on hard, i feel like such a noob on normal...



My next play through I'll definitely be playing through on hard though.

[EatinMcRib]

I do like how you can play dirty though, there's a ballista in the tower and the gate switch with revenant.

fully agree.
I mean i aint saying it cant be done, but I do think a lot of these ppl that say that nightmare is easy are all talk.

I find myself playing 15% on easy and 85% on hard. there are certain battles that no matter what I try cannot win. against revenants for example. for some reason one Revenant (ELITE NO LESS) can rip a whole through my entire party! on that not i have to say that i do find myself quite a good stratagist. somewhat textbook but they have done me well on previous RPGs of this type.
DOA however I seem to have issues with some of the battles. either due to overwhelmness or incredibly strong Boss/Elite.

Maybe im just not using my chars well, in a right combo?

im sorry, but there is no way you did that without an insane amount of buffs and mod tinkering...
just my thought. maybe im just jealous

[Urik187]

also what level are you at this point as I see your are already using massive armour

[Jordi B]

I believe this movie. It's a fight against a mage (i.e. relatively low HP, bad defense and armor) that stops when you defeat him (so you don't have to defeat his minions). The character is a dual-wielding rogue with the Momentum skill. She's standing behind the mage, which means lots and lots of backstabs/criticals. She's presumably not dying because rogues generally have high defense due to high Dexterity.

I didn't believe people were having this easy a time when I just started playing either, but the difference between the difficulty levels is actually not that big once you have figured the game out. Character builds matter a lot. You just need to know what to focus on.

Normal is perfect me, there as some nail-bitingly hard encounters (like the ruins boss, certain forced late-game encounters, and the Revenants), and snorefest easy ones (ironically the darkspawn hordes give me the least trouble), but most of the time it is just in the sweet spot between challenging and frustrating.



Maybe i'll try hard next playtrough.



There are some skills and spells that make the game very easy though, such as Mana Clash, even Gaxkang was half-dead after it.

[Gecon]

Well, I'm playing on Hard. I'm using a couple of fanmods - most importantly I can reskill and I have the box in the camp to store extra items I dont want to sell yet (or want to keep for emotional value). My HC is Elf Mage. I have cheated, too - got me extra money so I could buy the spellbook you can only buy right after you leave Lothering.

I must say if the game would be any harder, it would definitely reach unenjoyable levels. For example, in the solo passages of the Fade, I must have died like a douzen times. Never wiped in other places yet, but it was sometimes a close call.

Same here, started on normal, and died alot.. but as i have lvl'ed (and learned) i do not seem to die as much anymore. Only on some of the boss fights i have had to go to easy, or i would have quit the game in fustration

[Urik187]

funny enough for me it was the other way around. i died very little in the beginning but now am dying quite a bit. i think i might have spread my main char across to many focuses...



well guess its back to the old drawing board to build a new

[Urik187]

btw anyone tried a battlemage yet??

if yes any pointers?
