Hey all. First post and likely last post. I just uninstalled the game over the difficulty of a personal story mission.
I first tried the level 10 “human street rat” personal story mission “Breaking the Blade” as a level 12 Thief. I had relatively little difficulty with the previous missions, but on this one I died six times in a row. Doc Howler crushed me every time – I killed everyone else, but couldn’t get her below ~25% health. I tried different weapons and different utility skills – nothing got me any farther. So I abandoned the personal story and played the rest of the game.
This morning I returned to “Breaking the Blade” as a fully-equipped level 27 Thief. Green weapons, blue armor, all on-level. I expected to do somewhat better, but… no. Again I was killed over and over by Doc Howler, never getting her below ~25% health.
So I give up. I’ve got less frustrating games I could be playing.
I know. Whine-whine, call the waaaambulance. Normally I’d leave without saying anything, but they asked which personal story missions were unbalanced. It’s only my opinion.
