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?

It varies depending on the situation. First time through I'll generally play on the default or normal setting. I don't want it to be excessively difficult the first time through when I'm trying to enjoy the story and environment.

Later on I may ramp up the difficulty once I've gotten the hang of it or play through it again on a higher setting.
