I have this thing in RPGs, I just prefer lower levels with mundane gear. The higher my level, the flashier the gear the less I like it. I find that especially so with this game because although the armor designs are beautiful everything's got a decidedly fancy, shiny appearance. I've found one piece, the Unwanted Masterwork Scalemail that looks nicely drab and used.
So do you think its possible, either on Balanced or Tactician to beat the game with only mundane gear? I'm not particularly good at the game, but thought my first playthru on Balanced was a bit too easy.
If I was on PC I guess I could find a mod to remove magic items but I thought what I could do is have a rule where I don't buy any plus armor or weapons or enchanted jewelry and only use what I find or take from enemies. That would add the extra benefit of finally finding something magical extra special.
I was wondering if people do that. Is that something you'd like to try? Or are you the opposite of me and just love the more epic, shiny powerful gear?
If you did have a rule where you don't buy anything, what would be a good reason from a roleplay point of view? I love roleplaying and like things to make a kind of ingame sense.
Love to hear your thoughts. Cheers everyone.
