I finished the game on easy to see how things are and such, but now I am trying to finish it on the normal level. What the biggest difference between the two. I imagine the hit points would be higher and probably more of them. Does that sound right.

Monsters have a lot more hit points and do more damage. Both are increased by a factor of about 4 or 5. Some special items are relocated too.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> should be a difference. I wouldn't think they would make a game easy and normal of being the same unless there is some kind of clitch or as they say bug.


u just gotta love this forum......

There definately is. You need the patch to notice the difference. I'm playing on Normal and my partner is playing on Easy. With me as a Warrior, the Skeleton Guardians could kill me with a few hits. With her as a Wizard, the Skeleton Guardians have to hit her about 12 times before she's dead.

Which patch?I used the one that fixed the slow down in Verdistis.Not sure but thought I read some posts about the [some]patches causing problems.I'm not having any problems . Would I notice a difference if I played on hard? or would it all be the same level without that patch? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />

Well, I'm not Dragon or Kiya, but the 1.32 hotfix does make the monsters and bosses easier on the easy difficulty setting, and reduce boss damage slightly on normal. I'm not sure about the hard; I just started a game on that setting.

Just out of curiosity Raze...

When you play the game on a harder level does that mean that you can attain higher levels for your character by getting more experience from the people you have to kill or does it all stay the same except make the baddies harder to kill?

That is not dead which can eternal lie. Yet with strange aeons even death may die.

When I said I just started, I meant I just started. However it looks like experience points are the same. At level 1, 50 for rats/rabbits, 259 for cows. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" /> I didn't kill any rabbits or cows my first game, but I remember someone saying rabbits were worth 50. I think the difficulty level just make things easier/harder to kill.
