Enemy variety

[vic_viperman]

Thoughts? I was going to get this game until I heard there's only like 4 or 5 types of enemies through the entire game, not including bosses. Is this true? What's the point of having a good combat system if there isn't much reason to use it?

[Raven]

No its not true. It's a great game with a huge variety of combats and vocations.

[Tenoshii]

I guess that means that there's no way a zombie game could ever get popular since there's almost no "variety".

[Akulvo]

While there are reskinned enemies, each one tends to bring something new to the table aside from the usual extra hp and damage.

[GetUrAssToMars]

That is absolutely not true. It's not a enemy fruit salad like Elden Ring but there is a decent variety. Including many subsets of base monsters. This is particularly involving because of the combat system of this game.

Uhh not sure why Raven said its not true cause it definitely is, big reason why I'm not enjoying the game that much. Played for 20 hours already and all you will see are goblins, lizardfolk, wolves, human bandit enemies, harpies and that's basically it except for when out at night time when there's some skeletons and zombies. There are reskins too but they are just slightly stronger

This is just in regards to the smaller enemies, but it's what you spend most of the time fighting so for me it got really annoying fighting a pack of goblins over and over intermixed with a few others

the slimes and wraiths and ghosts are pretty cool. never seen a dev pull of the crazy looking amorphous and like spectral effects they did.

[El Jabon]

the bigass stone golems are pretty neat with all the crumbling and falling apart too as you fight em

While I love the game, its literally just the same enemies from the first game. You run 10 feet, fight goblins, run 10 more feet, fight more goblins, maybe fight a saurian, repeat until you get to your destination. Night time is just rotating from a different handful of enemies. Anyone saying that there's a lot of enemy variety is just lying lol. Theyre literally mostly all from the first game.

[Ben]

There are no bosses in the game. Only encounters.

[Josch]

Actually there is quite a lot of variety, but in reality it can feel very limited. 90% of the time you are fighting either goblins, saurians, harpies or bandits. The world is a tad to big for the limited trashmob variety.

[Wiegs]

There's already more variety just in goblin types than what you heard is in the entire game

Yea, some goblins have shields and some dont. The variety is just insane.

some throw rocks too!

In all seriousness, the variety is in their tactics. Red goblins are pretty generic, forest goblins ambush you with hit and runs, and... yeh thats about it. Hobgoblins and Knackers are pretty much the same as reds but with better attacks, hp, damage. Haven't seen any goblinoids beyond the Knackers though

Granted, goblins are meant to be a generic enemy

The bestiary from DD:DA:

You got goblins, you got harpies, you got beasts, you got brutes, you got dragons, you got saurians, you got undead, you got skeletons, you got ghosts, you got bandits, you got golems, you got summoners (bandits/undead), you got wolves.. DA: you got necrophages, more types of dragons, eliminators, etc.. more of the same types

DD2 is.. basically the same, with new some variation within the types, maybe a few new types and generally also missing things too, moreso just the monsters from DD:DA. If you are going into DD2 expecting the bestiary to be entirely new and different, I don't know what to say.

You'd be surprised if you play the first game when the first game released lol for just wait for the dlc / update. The only new enemy in the game that I know and haven't found is the Talos.
