Forum Overview :: Pillars of Eternity :: Not sure I see the MMO connection.

[quote name="Oom Shnibble"][quote name="Worm"]I don't know if Barbarians fucking suck or what, but my options right now are just to go through the main story line and hope I get enough XP to do other shit or just give up on the game forever. I think I'm going with the latter. Fucking RPG encounter design has been horrible since all these guys started copying MMOs.[/quote] You are quite a bit further than me then. I must say that I am finding combat on normal seems about right playing as a Cipher with the first 2/3 NPCs. I am getting chewed up in some encounters but I find that when I reload and try new tactics I normally manage to survive. Crowd control seems to be the key with harder encounters and the Cipher gives a few options for that. Also, the crafting system allows you to make some useful stuff. I quite like the encounters because the challenge means that you are always on your toes and combat doesn't get boring.[/quote]
