Something must be very strange, then. I'm up to level 39 with my four femme fatales and I'm not quite half way thru Act 3. I've got most of the secondary quests knocked out, so maybe that's skewed my results.

@Wulf
Yes, that's probably what makes the difference. One powerful character may be stronger than 6 weak ones :].
I'm going to have a break now. I'm just starting Civ IV and Halflife II. I'm planning to give it another try quite soon though as I'm quite interested in magic which I haven't tried at all (well, nearly - I casted only heal spell).
Also I left a lot unresolved quests, so my second way through (probably with full party) would be aimed on solving as much side quests as possible.
@dteowner
I would say that your party must be really powerful and the game is probably too easy for you as well.
The progress towards higher level is now very slow, so you will likely end up with level 41/42 or so. |

I wasn't really looking for an "edge of the seat" experience, so the difficulty wasn't that critical to me.
To answer the question, by 2/3 of the way thru the game, none of the standard critters could even scratch me. My combat mage got knocked unconscious on a regular basis, but I didn't really care since (between a highly boosted health regen and the help of my nature mage) she popped back up pretty quickly and her firepower wasn't that critical. The combat mage's "drown" spell was highly useful for crowd control, but once that spell was in place (autocast), her contributions weren't really that noticeable.
If you're looking for a deep RPG experience, DS2 will probably not cut it. If you're prepared for a relatively mindless gauntlet run on the level/loot treadmill, DS2 is great fun. Like I mentioned in another thread, this is the first game in a few years not named Wiz8 or NWN that I've actually finished. That's gotta count for something.
I plan to revisit the game in the future, which is also a vote of confidence since I don't generally replay games. I'll try a different party build (different archetypes, maybe pets, maybe non-melee main char) and see how it goes. I was frustrated with collecting 7/8 of the Loremal set and not having a shield user to put it on.

Ok, so I did that. I'm going through for second time. This time with full party (4 members currently) and with combat mage as my main character.
I'm again quite enjoying it and it really has different flavour with full party on board. :] |
