Skeletons freak me out and my wife always points out that there's one inside me just to piss me off.

Was a big fan of skyrim until I met dragon age: inquisition.
razetherunner
i loved DA:I, even if some companions were unbearable. it was better before they made Spirit Blade completely useless, but still great.
that's also a very good game

The skeletons in Skyrim are so stupidly weak. One errant sneeze could instantly clear a whole room of them.
wildcatfan4life
I'd bash them with my bow to save on arrows that I know I wouldn't get back.
SirPlatinum
Agreed, I once just activated a flame cloak and let them kill themselves
LOL. [incoming foot steps] [sound of bones hitting floor]

Morrowind: I CAN'T FUCKING HIT IT!! WHY CAN'T I FUCKING HIT IT?!?!

Amirite? Everything was the worst thing in the world when you start, because you can't hit any of it.

unless ofc you read what the game says about the stats and went "oh, I need weapon skill and fatigue, cool"
I started as a mage. I was able to cast my one spell one time and had to proceed to punch the town rat to death over the course of 15 lives
Yeah, mages... I'm not sure if I enjoy the old mage or the new type of mage more. I think they were shooting for the D&D type that has...
very few spells at the start but then becomes overpowered with time. Only problem is TES is a single player game, can't rely on your...

Tomb Of Giants, easiest boss with the hardest trip to the boss in the whole game.
CptNigelBeard
Easiest boss? You ever played Fable 2?
Kitakita
Patches isn't THAT hard You just gotta make sure you follow his everaaand I've walked into an endless pit.

Sunlight maggot and running running running
The best answer to the question "this game can't possibly get any harder can it?"
graphitedoodle
I mean, did you forget the Vaginadragon?
DarkBusterBaron
I play sorcerer all the time so it was the opposite for me one shot the skeleton beasts but kept getting killed by the skeletons nito 1/2
kept resurrecting since I couldn't do any damage with divine weapons nito is easy it's the skeletons that are the problem.
best place to farm humanity though

Wouldn't that be the dlc area?
CallMeJerryBecauseIAmJerry
Oooh yeah.
LeftHandPanda
Nah those tentacle dudes in the archives were the best for humanity
cjslc
They're actually princesses transformed by Seath researching immortality
Hardest trip to the boss is anor londo. Case closed.
ArdentSlacker
Capras demon. The first time around. Because the 3rd or 4th time you try him and his two fucking dogs, you fuck up on the way. And scream.
thepu55ydestr0yr
Another londo was the worst my first time playing. I managed to get past everything fine playing blind, thinking it was easy. Then archers.
stonerlibtard
But you can literally just sprint passed everyone. All you have to do is roll a few fireballs
Fireballs? Boi wut dafuq chu tawkin bout? Aint nun o dat gae shit up in dis hizzle. Dey be litenin bolts
On the way to Aldrich?
No, dark souls 1, we were talking about dark souls 1
ABadManWithABeard
Unless you're Kay and parry your way through arrow hell, yes.
What? I think I was only hit by one or two arrows, cause I didn't expect it in the slightest
If you've done more than like 5 characters, the game is just easy in general, but I'd say anor londo is the hardest
It's close. The skeledogs were horse shit, but so was some of AL1.0. Souls difficulty does generally decrease rapidly though, yes.
Well, I think the difficulty drop off is mostly due to running through areas because you know you can
smogswallowssuns
"Easiest boss" Pinwheel isn't even considered a boss. Poor bugger.
Pinwheel is the boss of the Catacombs, not the Tomb of the Giants, which is Lord Nito.
HardCaulks
If you can believe it, Pinwheel was meant to be a weak boss to reward new characters with the Rite of Kindling and a Mask
bghvgjdh
I can believe it, Pinwheel is incredibly easy
I think they mean Nito
Fluffybadger
Unless he shanks you in the taint, Nito's not hard.
AnPeople
I think the joke is that nito is the easiest boss because pinwheel isn't even a boss
ThikLikeOatmeal
I always felt the Capri demon was easy AF
He kind of is, its that initial rush attack as you enter plus the extra dogs that make him a pain especially for new players.
MagnorCriol
If I could art I'd be drawing a demon wearing capri pants right now.
DS1 definitely had the most interesting boss fights. Capra demon wasnt a difficult boss, just the area where you fight him is ridiculous
lonelyorange
Really? I could never deal with the dogs... Even now that I've played through the game probably a dozen times I still just firebomb him
Grimrir
With good luck they charge you first and I do the running attack with a great sword and they both die. Doesn't always occur though...
PorneliusHubertII
Run past dogs upstairs and o the ledge to the right. Throw up a shield and dogs bounce off and down. Then jump down jab and repeat.
QuackDodgers
I die to that demon 20+ times per playthrough, i have 700 hours in the game and consider nothing else hard :(
Get a 60%+ stability shoeld and he is easy.
gronostaj
Why do you say so? AFAIR he has the boss-like health bar.
CuddleWings
But so does the Asylum Demon and we all know he's a joke after your first run.
Easy boss is still a boss
While you're technically correct, I personally don't believe Pinwheel or the Asylum Demon deserve the title
Relykwastaken
Oblivion would have been a much better if it weren't for the way they based hostiles on your level... no lvl 20 character should have to
cursedTinker
The problem I had with Oblivion (that made me give it up) was that the combat scaled with your level. Normally that wouldn't be a (1/2)
(2/2) problem, except in Oblivion, you can level up from doing non-combat things. So if you spent a while making potions, then congrats, >>
(3/2) you're now woefully underprepared for the bosses.
Azqw
Yea, then some npcs didnt level with you against main quest monsters, so theyre fucked if they get hit.
Fight for their life against 2 goblins...
McGreed
Screw goblins, I kept getting killed by bloody rats.
The struggle was real...
NerdN1
A solution that FO4 tries is to have higher level variants, so you'd be fighting elite goblin ninjas or some shit. There is a real design >>
question regarding how you scale encounters in open world games. You could have enemies fixed for each location. This is feels more >>
"realistic" and makes you really feel your late-game power, but low level players could stumble onto high-level doom areas while >>
Vesorias
I like fixed enemies in games with NG+ (like Dark Souls) because you can change your pathing in NG+ and it's pretty cool. 1/2
high level characters could find that most of the remaining unexplored areas pose no challenge since they are for lower levels. >>
Timetoshavemyeyes
Is it really only me that found oblivion extremely easy? Enchant your weapon in the mages guild and everything dies in one hit...
crazyspelling
I loved enchanting weapons I didn't use often to heal the target but drain its stamina, worked best in Morrowind.
TheNextHafthorBjornsson
I literally beat the game and the xpacs multiple times and I don't even remember much of the game, so it must've been pretty easy.
I never used enchanted weapons, I just chose a different class than my chosen skill set so I could control the difficulty. I just found (1)
The main quest to be really straightforward and boring (2)
towhomthebell
Make a doom bringer sword,its fire.dmg,ice dmg,lighting dmg.then add decrease resistance for all those and none shall stand in your way
It was so much easier than Morrowind that it really wasn't much fun for me. But a lot more fun than Skyrim. :P
Morrowind was a pain at low level when attacks don't even hit the enemy... that being said to this day, its still my all time favorite game
And the main quest was so complicated I had to play through a couple times to really understand the depth of the story
CoachFeratu
Ah morrowind,played that when I was 12 and had no knowledge of the english language.Every encounter with rats was a battle of life and death
MortyC137
Enchanting was overall really overpowered, you could enchant chameleon armor and have permanent 100% invisibility which was fun but broken
strawberrycocoa
That didn't always work for me. Even with 100% Chamelon they still see me and follow me when I flee and attack me.
They can still detect you by hearing you, and mages can probably see you if they cast detect life
Oh that makes sense. I thought it was a bug. XD
