Since I'm rather new to games based on The Dark Eye role playing system, I'm wondering if someone with experience in these games might add some insight? The game really wants you to pick the pret-a-porter Hunter character it offers you. Kai2: I've been playing Blackguards I & 2 and have found both very easy to start and then suddenly they get very, very difficult. I like the story, setting, and characters. I keep wondering if I'm just not playing as intended? But if that's the case, the devs really needed to better explain the rules of their system that the pop-up tutorial.Īll of that being said. The number of missed swings in melee and spell casting failures (sometimes 2 or 3 in a row) is mind-boggling. I enjoy difficult games, but tend to agree, a strict adherence to pen-and-paper rule set might be this game's undoing. and I hear gets much worse after Morbal's defense. Yeah, I'm still early on - Morbal's defense - but the difficulty spiking is crazy. Sure, it was a cakewalk, but at least it was a fun cakewalk. That's why I played Blackguards 2 on easy. I know dice rolls are essential part of RPGs, but what is fun when playing tabletop with friends and the game goes on no matter what is not all that much fun when you play alone and have to reload a battle over and over. It's just that the battles are tough enough that a little bad luck, just a couple of misses, can pretty much screw you over even if your tactics are perfect. I'm not sure if it's even the matter of how you build your character(s).

Also, potions are expensive, especially early on, so use rations, inns and healers to recover, whenever possible. Some other small tips I can think of: Always complete all of the side quests, so you can gain some extra experience and loot. It does feel a bit more complex than other RPGs I've played. But I can see how it's confusing, if you normally play games based on D&D or other systems. A few critical hits by the AI, or a few missed attacks on your side, can make a big difference.ĬharlesGrey: I think there's some in game info about how the character attributes affect certain spells and actions. I think there's some in game info about how the character attributes affect certain spells and actions. )Īnother thing I'll say from these games. With the attributes being just different enough from D&D, think I'm slightly confused on what-does-what? I've got The Dark Eye Corde Rules. I'm trying a second time and seeing if I can smooth out the "spikes." Yeah, after playing a bit of 2, 1 seemed rather easy.
