People of Larian, please allow me these clear words:
But, in all honesty, your final mission SUCKS. It stinks. It's no fun. It's tedious and pretty annoying to still try to get through, yet your stupid decoy you have to protect is already a bit too low on health.
I have to agree with this. I loved the game overall, I think it was superb; but the final mission rather undermined that. Mainly because I absolutely loathe escort missions.
I don't think I've met a gamer who likes escort missions. I know of plenty who absolutely despise them, though, and I'm one of them. Most are merely annoying, many are difficult, and no small number are very difficult. But not difficult in a good way: not the sort of challenge that makes me want to pit my wits against the game. It's the sort of "difficult" that makes me want to stab myself in the eyes with blunt pencils.
I'd really wanted to finish FoV because it's been an awful lot of fun, and it's only recently I'd returned to playing Divinity 2 after giving up when protecting Zandalor The Slow got to be too much about six months back. Fortunately with the revamped difficulty it was a breeze this time, but the escort mission, not so much.
Please, Larian chaps, take on board my heartfelt plea of no more escort missions. Please. I know there seems to be some unwritten rule that all RPGs and action games have at least one escort mission but be daring and break that rule, eh?
I did exactly as you told me Macbeth, it took me four try's but on the forth I made it.
Taken me about a dozen attempts so far and I still can't complete it. I know I'm not much good at combat, which is why I avoid games that are mostly action, but it's depressing when a key stage is basically impossible.
