beccaelizabethI played enough Inevitable Excess to get really really motion sick.
... I absolutely hate the necessary movement mechanic they invented. It's inconsistent and annoying. The highlighted area is not the area you can actually reach. Clicking the exact same pixel twice in a row has an even chance of working sometimes. You can never actually tell if it's going to work.
And! You have to make the screen! go! spinny! EVERY few seconds.
And I got really motion sick and possibly have a headache now right between my eyes.
Inevitable Excess raises some really interesting questions in between throwing you at repetitive annoying fights and the movement from hell.
I keep forgetting this between trying to play it through again.
Core difficulty is being weirdly easy until it is very Not.
Gold Dragon seems to mean I just breath weapon every round. It works real good. It heals all my people. Daeran has nothing to do unless the KC gets hit. But it is very very very boring.
Woljif seems to have forgotten how to actually hit enemies. All his hits are crits. Because he only hits on a 20.
Seelah was doing weirdly poorly but then I remembered once again I have to actually use her abilities on purpose. So.
Ulbrig currently has the best AC he has ever had and is getting ressurrected at least once per fight because he isn't grabbing anyone successfully and they just. Stab. Stab stab. Stab. So much.
Arue is hitting. Which is nice but make everyone else look bad.
Yet I don't have to think much about what to do because it is divided neatly into stuff the enemy is immune to and just. The same thing as last round. Again.
All the lovely bonuses you can get? Nice as far as they go. You need them. A lot.
So I am getting all this nifty loot that is immediately necessary to survival, I am using up potions but only for the KC because she just breathes on everyone else, and I am... bored.
It should be philosophically fascinating but I'm busy feeling ick and waiting to kill another pananjali dreamslayer again again again.
On the plus side I noticed the lack of fun and stopped. I'm not always good at that.
I think once I've finished this DLC on Core I'm not going to play it again.
