Re: What difficultly level do you play one?

This one came up on a channel for table top miniatures games but they
did also talk about computer games. Now of course this is all personal
preference as there's no right way to enjoy games but the main thrust of
the argument was that the advantage of playing on easy mode (in the TT
context that was interchangeable with social) was it gives you a lot
more scope to be creative and play the game how you want and just try
things out to see what happens.

That's certain how I approach CRPG's. I don't want to go through
numerous guides on how to build an optimal character, I want to pick
what I fancy playing. My general strategy is start on normal mode and if
it all becomes too much, which it often does as the game progresses and
your character/party becomes progressively less optimal, change it to
easy mode and carry on.

One of the interesting parts they said is that if you're effectively
going to use someone else's build then what not just watch them playing
the game. Obviously that's a bit of hyperbole but I can understand their
point.

So for me, yep I play on easy mode.
