Gameplay Difficulty, Options

[Lady Saga]

I used to play on Adept myself, but I've dumbed this down to Apprentice after losing a few characters whom I was gaming with; characters with stories, that is. Some of you may be facepalming, "wow...Apprentice sounds like a cakewalk!" but the game still offers plenty of challenge. I basically walk over regular bandits and bandit outlaws, for instance, but pillagers, highwaymen (etc.) are still difficult, especially if more than two show up at a time. I'm much more interested in seeing my character survive and thrive (I am a DiD player) than I am in having a super-challenging game, where every battle lasts a half-hour or whatever.

But if I ever have a character whose game is not being written up as a story, I will switch back to Adept. Just for the extra all-around challenge. Anyways, for now I am Apprentice. How about you?

Same as SubRosa except I do some other things to make it more challenging.

For Aravi, her armor rating is never very high. I have never seen her above 400 (out of 850) and she is usually around half that.

I also do not use healing potions during combat. She has to use magic. The only thing I will do is before combat have her drink a Fortify Regen potion and/or eat a stew that has +1hp gain per second.
