how hard is this?

[Thorba]

Is this a soulslike? I am not very good anymore at soulslike games and start to dislike games where one failure leads to death, it just stresses me (gave even up jedi survivor because of this). I still love rpgs like the witcher, gothic or elder scrolls, at which direction this game goes?

This isn't a souls-like

The game isn't out but if the previous entry is anything to go by you snowball power wise very quickly to the point where you can breeze through the game with relative ease.

However keep in mind this is a ARPG not a RPG, meaning role playing and choices aren't the focus, you'll most likely be fighting 95% of the time.

I have even played the first game but really cant remember much of it (its to long gone).
If the game is not too punishing it could be exactly what i am looking for, just hope that not every big boss one shoots me if i make a little mistake.

In the beginning it is decently difficult (going by dragons dogma 1) but the main aspect of the DD series is that knowledge of the tactics needed to fight a monster is key and using that.

An early monster for example cyclops you can give it a stunned moment by breaking its tusks, you can blind it and make ot swing aimlessly by hitting its eye, you can climb on its back so it's harder to hit you but at the risk of being on its back haha

In some aspects it's a bit harder then a souls like because you have to play it differently but as you figure it out its on par with and potentially easier, but so are soils games, once your a certain level you just can do whatever. But it doesn't play the same, it's different entirely.

TL:DR, yeah it has a slight bit of difficulty to it, and the first didn't have "difficulty modes" it had normal then a harder mode by the end of its life.

All that said, if you get some friends you can hire their pawns (in the first game I assume in this as well) and if they get to a really high lvl you can hire friends pawns free no matter the lvl gap, so you can breeze thru a game with lvl 200 pawns haha

One shot? Not normally, to avoid being a glass cannon at risk just go a mobile class like ranger keep on the move or a tank class, they also have hybrid classes so you could be a tank caster for example.

It is a game where levels make a difference, you'd struggle at level 15 to defeat some tough large enemies but if you came back at 40 you should be enjoying a fight that seems like it was meant to be tackled at that point in the game.

So if you limit yourself intentionally, the game can be as hard as you want.
