Is game still too easy after the first half or so?

Gameplay
#1

I bought the game but I am waiting to play for the first time, I want it to be well polished.

I had identified two “balancing mods” that would keep the game challenging until the end, making it more difficult, but now, after the last patches, those mods are not compatible anymore, they cause some issues, and modders do not seem very eager to update them quickly.

Is any game balancing forthcoming? Is the game still very easy after the initial part? they say you can easily become overpowered, and one-hit knights in full armor…

It depends how you play. If you use potions, all the cool armor i think it can be easy still, but after 1.3 the combat got nerfed a lot. Although they say the “fixed” it not really nerfed, i had a lot more trouble fighting late game opponents as a result. The sasau north “island” bandit camp owned me too, while i before slaughtered them with ease.

thanks for the feedback, i could start playing without mods then…maybe it’s about time! :slight_smile:
Other comments are welcome too…

A simple fix that requires NO mod, use weaker weapon and wear cheaper armor. Problem fixed. Yes, you might not have the coolest looking armor or the St George sword, but if you want difficulty, this is the easiest fix.

really silly fix. Role playing games’ best part is to improve your character, and your equipment. It doesn’t make sense what you say. I want to improve my character, but enemies should increase their skills and strenghts accordingly…

Combat still too easy at the end of the game. With top stats and equipment you simply walk into enemy camp, use only stabbing and after few seconds, 5 bodies on the ground…

Or if I want to train bow, I let all the enemies follow me while I kill them one by one with the bow, slowly walking backwards. Usually only with few hits to my armor or with no damage at all.

Keep faith with URO my friend. The creator is finishing off degree work at the moment, hence the lack of updates.

In the meantime, may I suggest light armour only? I have been going this route on my current playthrough, while I wait for URO, and it has been extremely challenging and rewarding. Knights will happily crush me in a few hits if I mess up, even when I’m v. high lvl. Using a non-piercing weapon (Executioner’s Sword ftw) has also kept fights tough.

Yes, URO is one of the two mods I am waiting to be updated…I don’t want to start the game until i can fully enjoy it, I play games only once…Maybe i should wait also for the developers to release the mod tool. When is it expected? I do not want to play and go around only in light armour

It’s not harder at all. All you need to completley dominate combat still is a warbow, mace, and shield. I can typically Legolas at least 3 enemies or more, one shooting or two shotting them before I draw melee weapons. Also if you fight on horseback, basically nothing can stop you and you can one-shot anything with a mace on horseback in the late game.

It’s gotten better from the “perks break it so hard you one-shot people with a mace on foot while butt naked” days, but it’s still got a ways to go.
