beccaelizabethYesterday I played Wrath of the Righteous for... probably over twelve hours, before deciding that on those difficulty settings it doesn't even feel like a game. It happens in front of my eyes is all. I can let it play itself on the not-turn-based version, and fights will generally be over in one hit, so why bother? But that sums up my feelings for the automagic fighting in general. Turn based is playing, the other way is getting it over with to get to the next interesting bit.
Exceptions for when the characters decide spinning in place is the optimal strategy or simply don't move at all for several turns. That's just frustrating. It's a fail that only happens because it is a game, so it is boring and like the computer is cheating.
I tried it on a really low difficulty so I could see how Last Azlanti Mode plays. It makes me anxious, because half the load screens tell you If In Doubt Save, and now you have to rely on the machine actually saving and not very often. But it seems achieveable so far.
I am going to have to start it again on a higher difficulty if I want to feel like I am playing the game though.
Also I might be wearing this one game a bit thin. I would happily play other adventure paths, if available. But they aren't, so I am doing and redoing the same one.
But I played it on super easy because playing on Hard is in fact Hard. I can go back to that one and feel like every fight is an accomplishment.
I think my ideal difficulty is sort of Daring plus bonus behaviours. A very custom difficulty. But playing that way doesn't get you any achievements and the difficulty achievements are very nearly the only ones left to do.
Or the DLC midnight isles ones. But again, that doesn't feel like a game, just endless fights.
eh, shall think of something else to do.
