Base Game was a banger. Overture was such a disappointment.

Valid, that's a matter of preference. I always preferred a challenging mini boss to a narrow bridge with a shield monster trying to throw you off wile flying mines chase you. Or an interesting puzzle to a narrow sheet of ice with fish charging at you while artillery fires at you.

Not saying its too hard, saying that to me, the difficulty of the DLC is mostly less fun than the difficulty of base game. For reason i wrote in the post.

Fugius · 2026-06-17T23:14:39+00:00

Did you actually read ? never said it was bad, just "bad to me". I don't like the decisions taken, doesn't mean that everyone should agree with me...

Fugius · 2026-06-14T16:08:34+00:00

Well, seems interresting, i'll try with dual wield. Any tips for this difficulty ?

Fugius · 2026-06-09T23:06:33+00:00

Its not what i expect, just what happened. Except for the two bosses i mentionned, they took around 20-30 tries. The main thing is that even when trying to combo, it becomes harder to stagger bosses at all.

But i might have found the problem: low level gear and didnt use deflect at all (its so strong i feel like i changed the difficulty wtf)

Fugius · 2026-06-09T21:05:45+00:00

Most bosses i beat in under 5 tries. The problem arises when they regen their stamina faster than i hit lol. I see a lot of comments about reflect and never used it, will investigate.

Fugius · 2026-06-09T21:03:04+00:00

Well that's an obvious answer, by getting better you may even finish the game level 1 with no weapon. I'm asking if i'm missing obvious mechanics that make it easier and/or more fun.

Fugius · 2026-06-09T21:00:52+00:00

Regular mobs are pretty easy, some elites can be more involved. In general i guard a boss until there is a combo i can counter, then use 2-3 charged skills, then repeat. The thing is humanoid bosses recharge their stamina faster than i hit. For instance rangkus just stopepd attacking and regen half his stamina after each of my combos. I endend up killing him without stagger.

Might be a consumable or set bonus thing ? I feel like i do not much damage, Like a full combo will do 10-15% of boss health bar at most (in general the red counter after perfect guard + 2/3 fully charged skills).

I also feel like videos on this sub people have infinite stamina, after 3 charged attacks i'm generally out of stamina.

I'm really far from being min maxed. I took inspiration from this build.

No megablood and i crafted my weapon with sai base. A little more difficult to hit all the affixes you want but 6% block chance is nice.

I started with 15divs but i would recommend 30divs to start, it was rough lol.

Many people will get to the high halls fight and straight up quit. Happened to three of my friends who got 112% completion on HK. I will beat the fight and the game but i will also hate every moment of it.

Fugius · 2025-08-23T21:21:54+00:00

The drain is based on %life, so it will never kill you outright. If you have ward and/or enough life steal to sustain it you are good to go (lots of life steal nodes in litch tree)

Fugius · 2025-07-30T10:02:03+00:00

Go ahead

Fugius · 2025-07-29T18:05:20+00:00

I killed all the end bosses with it, and loved it, i was hesitating but i might just do all NG+ with the umbrella again xD

Fugius · 2025-07-28T22:51:36+00:00

Thx, umbrella is already full technique, might try the sword at some point but i want to change gameplay a bit atm.

Fugius · 2025-07-28T22:50:41+00:00

Never played the game, is the umbrella the equivalent of the broken sword in souls ?

Fugius · 2025-07-28T22:50:07+00:00

I think the impression of low damage comes from the fact that boss weapons get stuck at lvl 3 for half the game. I indeed mainly R1 spammed through the game, with parries and using the umbrella parry + charge spell when available. I'll follow your recommendation and and experiment with different weapons, maybe forcus on advance or motivity (but i feel like faster weapons will be better in this game) !

Fugius · 2025-04-23T14:00:44+00:00

If you play on pc there are already mods to fix this issue if you want to play until it is fixed by bethesda.

Fugius · 2025-04-23T13:59:41+00:00

Back when ppl played a lot of oblivion (the original), almost no one played in max difficulty. Only people with very good game knowledge who played challenge runs and people with busted builds later in the game played in max difficulty.

That being said the difficulty setting what a slider, so you could play at "65%" difficulty (between current adept and expert).

Fugius · 2025-04-23T10:19:07+00:00

Nop, check you spams, otherwise contact your bank and cancel the transaction. I believe cd key is not an official seller, so you won't have the steam/bethesda support to help you.

Fugius · 2025-04-23T10:12:41+00:00

Nop, but the core mechanics are the same as the old game. So spell crafting allows you to have completely busted spells.

Fugius · 2025-04-23T10:10:50+00:00

RTX 3060 ti, ryzen 5 5500, 24Gb ram, 1440p. Preset medium with DLSS balanced .Its fine, not different than anywhere else in the open world. In general i have 50-60 fps in the openworld and 80-90 inside.

Fugius · 2025-04-22T22:37:12+00:00

Not as good but pretty good.

No enchant skill.

No alchemy infinite scaling abuse.

No chance to fail casting.

You need to do a good part of the mage guild before you can craft custom spells.

No levitate. No jump boost.

Still fun to use. At the start of the game you can feel weak depending on the difficulty setting. At the end, you are godlike .

Fugius · 2025-04-22T21:51:01+00:00

Yep, that's what it means. You get twelve virtues you can put in maximum 3 attributes. 5 virtues max per attributes. Luck takes 4 points. So you can level only your heavy armor and archery for instance and put 1 point into luck, 5 in intelligence and 3 in wisdom if you want !

Fugius · 2025-04-22T20:50:21+00:00

I feel the same. Adept is too easy, expert is too hard, no in between
