I hate it when devs (for whatever reason they may have) starts to impose artificial barriers on players in a SINGLE PLAYER GAME... This behavior reminds me of the limitations that the Devs have been imposing in CK2 & EU4 and it doesn't add anything to the game except an artificial difficulty.
This is not a MMO or some competitive game, so what gives?
Well, at least I finished the game and I was looking forward to doing a second playthough with the introduction of the new NPC companions, but if (or since) they are imposing artificial barriers to increase the difficulty then I am just going to shelf it and move on
--- PS: wtf is with these forums, where I can't use quotation marks in my sentances???
It is relatively common these days with developers actually. Rather than produce new, interesting, and challenging content, they will introduce artificial barriers to stifle player creativity and options. It's a shortcut that has picked up support from the MMO-loving crowd in the name of "balance".
