i want ask everyone who have played this game and have felt they had the best expirience.

What is the best Gameplay Difficulty

Thank you in advance ^_^

I like Brutal but the best difficulty is the one you have the most enjoyment with, not which is the hardest.

Brutal is my personal fav. / Gravewalker is too annoying for me.

just try it out and see what's best for you. hf

brutal! lol its awesome

[PROPHYZ]

Brutal still plays like Nemesis for me, the difference is I have to play serious and pay attention to what's happening and also treat Grunts serious. (esp. Hunters and Archers can hurt bad)

Nemesis by now you can prob. play blindfolded and mabey still take a fort this way.

Brutal. Even with a bunch of your skills and friendly Orcs helping you it’s easy to die since your health is so low, but unlike Gravewalker, fights aren’t artificially extended for hours. I might be biased because I’ve never been fond of using health bloat to increase difficulty, but Brutal hits that sweet spot for me by adding the better AI from GW without the annoying damage reduction.

Gravewalker is most certainly the most difficult, for sure, but in terms of actual enjoyment, Brutal wins out easily. It’s not a cakewalk, but it’s not a huge slog either. All Gravewalker ends up being is a pain in the rear because Captains have so much health that they’ll just adapt to everything before half of their health is gone and then you’ve got to spam the same couple of attacks on them for ten minutes and if you make a single mistake during that time, you’re dead.

Playing Brutal is the best so far IMO. The only dificuilty I have not played all the way through yet is Gravewalker. That is my last one to do a playthrogh on. I too have been playing this game for some time now and have alot of fun with it!

A lot of people like brutal because you do lots of damage to the enemy while the enemy does lots of damage to you(both Talion and the orcs do extra damage), you get more wrath so you can do more executions or ground pound moves more often, and you get one last chance so there's some freedom to make mistakes in combat. The downside to brutal is that captains get taken down pretty quickly and one last chance is enough for some people to not really die at all.

On gravewalker you don't start off with any last chance stands, early game I found myself running more so I didn't die as often and captains are harder to take down because Talion does less damage/can't do special moves as often. The orcs themselves still have a damage boost though.

If you want a more kick back style of gameplay I'd say play on Brutal, if you want the nemesis system in full swing and have more intense encounters I'd suggest playing on gravewalker.

wow ... i like that they added variation between those difficulties :D i wish other games would do the same, but yes i switch between easy and other difficulties if i want to .

It's fun and keeps you busy for a long time :D

[Mystic]

Thanks everyone that you took your time and responded to my question i will go for brutal and i will enjoy it. Thank you everybody ^_^

Enjoy brutal. I personally like Gravewalker. You can die in the blink of an eye. Just one tripple strike from a captain knocks you down. So tension is at a high and so is your heartrate.

Can u guys tell me the difference between gravewalker and brutal modes? I'm reading a lot but not fully understand. I know they are like harder Nemesis modes, but what's the real difference between those two?
Something changes in the lore/story between brutral or gravewalker? The nemesis sytem are different?

Nothing changes in the story. In Gravewalker, all Orcs attack faster, will gang up on you more, detect you easier from stealth and Orcs take 3X more damage to kill, and you get no last chances by deault. On Brutal, all of the same stuff applies, except you get one last chance by default and Talion's damage is buffed rather than nerfed so you die quickly, but so do enemies. A lot of people favor Brutal because Gravewalker, especially at higher levels, can become tedious with possibly dying to Captains in only one hit and then them taking ten minutes or more to kill because they eventually adapt to your whole kit. On the flip side, you become so OP by the endgame that Gravewalker can be the only way for some folks to feel any challenge. It depends on what you want from the game, really. I favor Brutal because I don't like health sponges, but it's worth trying both out to determine what it is you'd like.
