Larian Studios Forums Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis (English) Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis First 2 hour game frustration (SPOILER)

First off i usually play this kind of game on my PC instead of xbox360 so my difficulties can be partly relatet to that but i still can berform attacks well enough and moving become easier as i play, still i'm having huge problems, problems that i have never faced on my gaming so far.

First when game startet and showed how i can choose what "class" i should go i ofcourse took melee style as that is usually easier to start with, i chose to take medium difficulty since i dont think myself as a bad gamer but dont want to take more than i could chew.

First things were going rather well goblins provided to be rather easy and their small bosses gave me difficult kills and game felt rather balanced, untill i got myself to go tower and bandit camp, i find myself really weak trying to kill my way throught countless ranged or summoner skeletons who kept laughing on silly slayer who try to take them down with his weak melee attack when they bombarded me from a far, and when i finally had killed them all i noticed i could not even open doors and were unable to get to the right door (i noticed this much later) due to bug that kept knocking me back down when i reached on top.

So off i went to see other place and found some soldiers who asked my help to kill few bandits, i ofcourse said yes i need to get more exp to level and take on harder mobs, we slaughter them all and i thought i guess i should have been here first it was that easy, then ofcourse came temple of doom (literally), i heed no warning from New order commander after all i'm a slayer so i'm going in, what a stupid mistake that was, after some small talk with the boss named "Jagon" I have to chase him and i just kept on dying. This place gave me lot of headache, it was like step left you die go right you die you die you die die die die etc.

The game does not even give you a hint where you can step atleas i can't see any until i finally found 1 safe spot that was still bad place since one of skeletons kept shooting there, i noticed these corpses lying down and naturally i avoided them first, but it turns out those were actually showing the way for me to walk, usually if there is a corpse it means that place is deadly no? The trail lead you right in place where boss has a clear shot at you and it's range so no good for me, eventually i just charged the boss ignoring the poison effect with healing potion and managed to beat him only to see him flee.

Then i chace him untill he finally dare to attack me and is a whole different guy as the first time, i get my ass kicked no matter what i do, all of his hits find their target be they melee or archery i take 50-150 damage and feel like i'm totally out classed, and he is lvl 11, there is no way he can be level 11 and do that kind of damage, my lvl 9 guy who almost only take points on strength and vitality was scoring 8-45 damage at best, so eventually i just have to take difficulty down and feel like i have failed.

Then i finally beat the guy after still wiping 2 times, it didint feel like a victory because i had to drop down difficulty level, there is no other place to go grinding exp so i dont understand why the difficulty between normal mobs and then mall boss is so big, and i feel like a ragdoll trying to beat that heavyweigh champion everytime there is a small boss like abomination master *shudders* and at big boss the difficulty jump skyhigh.

I hope that when i finally get my power up the game will ease a little so i atleast have a chance, i do enjoy difficulty but when game becomes so frustrating that i have to touch that difficulty button it's no longer fun.
