This feature... health endurance
I am for now level 2 exploring with a cleric, I dont know if it is a good choice, but I am planning on either abandonning the game or switch from normal to story mode: In my opinion, the health / endurance stuff is really a bad thing, I truly dislike/hate the mechanic. Only resistance can be healed, and even if health is much higher, every blow will lower health(0 resistance is unconciousness, 0 health is perma death). The game forces the player to camp to regain health and you have to use consumables for that. People will say that you find easily the camp material, but I can't stand to be forced to use a consumables, to have limited healing without exiting the area or dungeon. (I can just go back to the stronghold or the inn if out of health) Also the perma death thing... another choice... I have beat BG1, NWN1 (all of it), NWN2 (base game and now playing expansions), temple of elemental evil, Divinity Original Sin 1 and now playing D:OS 2 (on normal difficulties) I can't believe I came to think this game is not for me. It is not true that if you like BG and NWN you'll like automatically PoE... Anyway, I will try, a little bit more, maybe the health mechanic is... at least bearable... Now, I feel quite silly for choosing to play a priest/cleric, as I can't heal health, only endurance which is automatically recovered after combat. In other c-rpg, cleric was on of the best choices... And maybe the stronghold gameplay is not as boooooring as it sounds to me. In that case I will modify the review. (if it is possible) I have bought PoE and white march I&2... but now I doubt por deadfire...
