Mordheim: City of the Damned

Fun gameplay but frustrating story bits

I liked this game up until I played the library story missions. They are rage inducing, and not just in the normal "RNG screwed you over" way. (There are plenty of those moments throughout the game though.) Without getting into too much detail, there are teleporters, hallways which can be body-blocked by one enemy, and enemies which ignore several of the established rules of combat. On top of those relatively minor annoyances, you must carry quest items back to your starting camp, all of which are far away and the normal mechanics of the game make carrying items a chore even without the obtuse level design. From a personal experience, I played this mission with Skaven, Empire, and Sisters, and every time was when I quit playing the game. I even had one time where I almost completed it (as Skaven) but on the last quest item a new enemy either spawned or finally walked over to where my people were and killed off the quest item carrying person. The enemy was strong enough to prevent my low HP other characters from rescuing the mission. I get that this is going to happen but it took so long just to get that close I uninstalled the game and hid it from my library. TLDR: game can be fun but can also be so frustrating the fun stops.
