Sure, it was a cakewalk, but at least it was a fun cakewalk. That's why I played Blackguards 2 on easy. I know dice rolls are essential part of RPGs, but what is fun when playing tabletop with friends and the game goes on no matter what is not all that much fun when you play alone and have to reload a battle over and over. It's just that the battles are tough enough that a little bad luck, just a couple of misses, can pretty much screw you over even if your tactics are perfect. I'm not sure if it's even the matter of how you build your character(s). I've downloaded some strategy guides from GameFAQs and will certainly be reading them.īreja: Much as I enjoyed Blackguards 1, it can be really, really damn frustrating.
I'd expected a moderate learning curve, but it seems to be more than I'd thought. I came to Blackguards after playing some of Blackguards 2 and Drakensang. I enjoy the game, but the "opaque" nature of the attribution system and the horrendous RNG coupled with difficulty spikes do an enjoyable game no favors.

Some other small tips I can think of: Always complete all of the side quests, so you can gain some extra experience and loot. It does feel a bit more complex than other RPGs I've played. But I can see how it's confusing, if you normally play games based on D&D or other systems.

With the attributes being just different enough from D&D, think I'm slightly confused on what-does-what? I've got The Dark Eye Corde Rules. I'm trying a second time and seeing if I can smooth out the "spikes." Yeah, after playing a bit of 2, 1 seemed rather easy.
