I mean, the tactical battles are fun, but deep into final act, they become prolonged and tiresome to a point I stopped really bothering and instead focus on a story. Especially enemies getting anywhere from 2 to four actions per turn, that is really asinine if you have party where everyone has 1+1 actions.
Kudos to all of you that endure, you are real mvps and enjoy the game
I totally understand. This game is pretty old school when it comes to the difficulty curve, and with the huge number of character options, it’s really easy to end up with a seriously sub-optimal party without knowing.
Also, the difficulty is all over the place early on because the game has no idea where you’re going to go, but the encounters don’t scale. Depending on how you wander around, there are a number of encounters early on that will definitely wipe a first level party, especially if you still only control 2 characters. Bandits in the ruins, I’m looking at you.
If you like tactical play, I would suggest simply starting a new play through after you get some experience. You’ll be surprised how easy this game is once you know what you’re doing.
