Just thought it would be interesting to know what difficulty everybody plays on, since the slider changes the game so much.
I play on 3/4 difficulty (1 being the highest) biggrin.gif

Default. The difficulty slider does not do what I want it to do. I want weapons to be more deadly on both sides of the fight. Bumping the slider to the right does that for foes but not for your character.

Rather, I play default and render foes more deadly by keeping my character’s endurance at base (tiny red bar) and keeping any armor rating she may have down in the single digit range. Marauders become freight trains of damage this way.

At the same time, I optimize my own character’s damage by capping her level near 20. That allows her to max her bow killing skills and supporting attributes, but limits the health of her foes. I also equip her with a high quality bow repaired to 125%, and powerful arrows.

The result is exactly the glass cannon that I want: My character strikes like a dragon but can crumple like a butterfly.

Lothran: I think the sound effects thing comes from reading stories to my kid. smile.gif I always make little sound effects if I'm reading her a bedtime story. So did my dad when he read for us as kids. It's infectious.

I dislike this as well. I did bump RG2's game up a bit one time. I wanted NPC raids to last longer and be more challenging. But the experiment did not last long because bumping the slider right also made her weaker. WTF, man? rolleyes.gif
