So its my first go full stop of Descent2 and it is solo thus using the Road-to-Legend app which will be my main 99% version of playing.Tutorial campaign, first mission.
Disciple and Ranger(forget proper name)
Wow hard! The only reason the master etin didnt destroy me was managing to keep it stunned using the disciples mace.
Its first hit did about 10 instant damage to my ranger and KO'd her, from that point on I managed to keep it stunned until it was dead.
The flesh moulders didnt help but as they kept healing any damage I got on them, I ignored them and concentrated on the etin.
It was fantastic fun and really well designed, but I do think without stun I would have been mincemeat. Am I really such a bad first time player??
But I did win, and onto the next quest of the campaign....
INTERMISSION..... soft music and ice creams...
Okies so now I have done my first side quest...
Slaying a Dragon.. Ok yes thats kind-of a big order in theory but I thought as its the first tutorial-type campaign it would be easy-ish...
Woah hard!!
I did manage to complete it, but my Desciple was on his last legs and my Ranger was knocked out. I had no moral left so had to decide if to revive her or not and thought I was close enough on damage to try and get the dragon on my last hits and it worked, dragon gone.
But those constant flesh moulder reinforcements again arggh. Killing them seems a waste of time against a large monster as they just respawn, so I left them damaging me while I concentrated on the Dragon on gosh it hurts, especially with the dragon doing such harsh hits. Without the purchased armour following the first stage I would have been a gonner. Levelled up abilities helped a LOT too with the disciple praying for himself to give himself bonus dice.
It was fantastic fun, but I have to admit I am a little concerned about the difficulty level in what is technically the tutorial quest. Yes I beat it, but only just. In other campaigns/quests my heroes will still only have access to similar equipment/abilities so am I really good enough to handle this game full-on and invest in a load of content??????
I do like to buy into games in a big way so would like to buy a lot of stuff.. but am I simply not good enough at this game to then use it all??
Id appreciate thoughts please.
Thanks
