Ah, two posters who either dont understand what they read, or they simply dont read (because its too difficult for their brainz) - and then write comments based on what they just imagine it must be...
Gyson ofcourse cant do anything else but confirm he is nothing more then village idiot anyway.
There really should be some special internet for people like you. And im being generous there.
Dragomist, i would say that you completely misunderstood what i said but ... you didnt really read any of it. You just read the title and then imagined what im saying , and then made that reply practically to yourself.
Which, as it turns out, makes that post of your completely
if im going to be kind there.
Hiver why do you persist in berating other posters? Rather than even address their concerns you continue to make personal attacks. Neither of these posters have said anything derogatory to you in this thread.
In addition, people will have views different from your own. I'm not sure you've come to fully grasp this concept, given your posting history.
In order to be a commercial success, games need to cater to a large portion of players, and not a select population. You can ask for this game to be an "old school hardcore" RPG all you want, but if that results in a higher perceived difficulty it could ultimately turn off newer players. In turn, sales may suffer. Since Larian is making this game to turn a profit, it is in their best interests to make this game accessible and fun to a large majority.
This is all any of us have been saying all along. Getting one shotted or nearly one shotted by an arrow at level 2-3 is simply not fun for a beginner. Save that kind of damage for later when a player has a full understanding and grasp of the combat system. Like many of us have said, it's all about progression of difficulty, specifically for a newer player.
