So I've tried the DE very excited, expeting a change like the EE from DOS1. Of course I was extremely disappointed, like pretty much any other player would
since every problem I previously noticed is still there, but that's not the point of this thread.
My question is: can the game be completed without using Thievery to rip off traders? Because in my second run it's getting nearly impossible to beat fights the same level than me because, as we all know, every time you level up you actually become weaker because your gear is instantly useless. I'm not sure what were they thinking when they came up with this.
The problem is, I can barely find enough gold to buy for the skill books, let alone to get new gear for my whole party every damn level. In my first playthrough I abused Thievery constantly to buy my stuff, and while it was extremely tedious, it did the trick. Now I'm poorer than the guy torturing his dog to ask for money in Driftwood.
So, anyone completed the game in Tactical mode without stealing every merchant?
