  • I just had a pretty sour session of it despite loving it overall.

    end of act 2

    Fuck the gauntlet of shar. Just the most frustrating part of the game so far by far. The mirror fight was horseshit. You get until long rest debuffs on any character that does damage for any reason to anyone other than their mirror. No AoEs, no reactions allowed. Their mirrors are not constrained by this and also don’t seem to be limited by spell slots. So it’s just mirror Gale fireballing every turn, either tanking or burning all my counterspell slots. Oh and the enemies hide every turn. So you get to run around passing turns while they fuck you up until you can catch them with the right character. It would have been really fun to face my party and actually figure out the right matchups. Total missed opportunity. And then the fucking platform maze. Just like twenty minutes of reloading trying to click the right spot - and jumping or flying seem to result in a fall. Library was fine. The sneak one was trivial.

    And then the fucking demon guy. I thought I was being clever finding the side path, but if you do that the main guy just always gets first initiative, throws a ton of bombs and detonates them, often tpking or near tpking before I can even move. I guess the game really wants you to talk to him, which you can only do if you enter the right way.

    Just a very frustrating section.

    I’m also having a sneaking suspicion that tactician difficulty is making me level up too fast. I’m gonna be level 9 by the end of this next fight I’m pretty sure and there’s only three levels to go with at least one big act left. I know it might go a little slower, but I’m worried I’m going to hit the cap with a lot of game left, which will either just be boring, or mean the continuing difficulty ramp (it’s definitely still hard even leveling up so much) will absolutely fuck me.
