Is Adept difficulty super easy? Feel invincible so far...

[TeknoTel]

I am playing on adept, but I honestly feel completely invinvible so far. No one has even scratched me yet. I have done about 4 or 5 caves/forts making my way to the first mission objective and it feels extremely easy.

Is this how adept is supposed to be?

I know I can increase the difficulty, but the there are two levels of difficulty lower than Adept.

I cannot remember if the game gets significantly harder in certain areas, or if I should just turn the difficulty level up.

Why ask.. Why not just do it and find out.

what do you mean why ask? Why comment? I literally feel invincible and its on the there are two easier difficulties?

How can I try it at the start of the game? Would take hours to get to different areas where it might be more difficult? How would I even know where to go to try it?

What is wrong with you?

I usually start playing Bethesda games at standard difficulty and then if I am high level myself and have good gear I set the difficulty to max to get more xp from enemies.

I mean all that diffculty always does in BGS games is making the enemies bullet sponges and they do more dmg, they don't become smarter or anything.

So do you think if in the first couple of hours in the game I feel completely invincible its worth ramping it up? Or do you think it is just because its the first couple of hours of the game?

Dear lord OP, just play the game or dont. You started a discussion and now picking fights with people who are...replying to your question?

Adept too easy and expert too hard apparently 3.5x harder, missing a middle ground tbh.
Master is 6x dam tedious.

He is asking a valid question and gets a lame reply, he can do whatever he pleases. I agree OP; adept feels like easy mode. I just changed it to expert and kept dying over and over in a certain scene, so I am not sure what to do lol.

Since no one else wants to give you a real answer:

Adept is busted. They made it too easy. There will be harder enemies later, but overall, you're not going to struggle for most of Adept. As enemies scale to you, it'll change, but it'll take a long time. Next tier is Expert, and it's significantly harder for some reason. You could give Expert a go, but don't be surprised if you find yourself quickly going back to Adept.

THANK YOU. The exact answer I was looking for. It didn't make any sense no one has even done 1/24th of my HP yet and I am fresh out of the sewers, this is exactly what I wanted to know.

I might try it on the harder difficulty and then go back if it gets too hard later, right now its just too easy to even be enjoyable. Thank you.

Yes - This is how the game was by design on release. And you will have to wait for mods to bridge the gap between "too easy" and "jesus christ why is every rat and goblin suddenly a main antagonist boss fight???"

They didn't answer the question, their response doesn't even make any sense as I explained.

How can I test the games difficulty settings in different locations to work out what I want to play on? How is that something you can work out easily without playing through most of the game?

Holy cow agreed on difficulty settings. On expert, first fort I enter with full Steel, Level 2 full Warrior build, and the first goblin drains all my stamina, staggers me, and kills me in about 4-5 hits.

Meanwhile, on Adept, it might as well take 50+ hits from enemies to deplete my health bar.

I personally tried the game from the start at Expert and my god I was getting bodied by level 3. At first I thought it was just the beginning level sufferage but as I leveled up it progressively became unfair where I was doing no damage at all while I get killed in one hit. The Timber Wolf would kill me just in three hits.

There definitely needs to be adjustments. I had to lower the difficulty, although it does feel more balance but guess I'll grind into the later game and hope there's more of a difficulty curve to it. I do kind of miss the difficulty slider just for this reason.

Adept is super easy, and the rank above, expert, is super hard. There's no middle ground in terms of difficulty.

Is the IA auto-leveling system still in the game ? You know, the worst thing ever made in the whole video game history.
