DM with group

and yet still I can't comprehend what is trying to get at

I mean... a bit? The real tough stuff doesn't even spawn at very low levels, or if it does (for quest reasons) it's essentially a giant inflatable version.

Welcome to the poison that is level scaling. 99% of locations in-game will just spawn basic skeletons or rats or spiders if you wander in at low levels.

How is it fun to play a social game like you're some conniving bastard trying to get the best single-player experience?

Technically yeah, but it's a tough monster for your level. Challenging, but not unbeatable. You're technically able to go anywhere and fight anything with a reasonable chance of success. I found Spriggans tough early on, but they got easier. Dragon Priests were tough for me throughout my playtime, but I bet if I had gotten more combat perks, it'd be easier.

Also, that Imp was tough in an unfair way, not in a 'you really weren't supposed to fight this yet' way. You were expected to be able to fight it with magic, but the game doesn't explain that you need a magic pool bonus for it to be feasible, or that your first spell probably won't kill it in one hit. So you gotta wait until you find a better weapon later on in the dungeon (if at all), or hope to get an ebony dagger from the starting questions. It's a cheap shot compared to Morrowind, where eventually you'll be able to take on tough stuff.

>Also, that Imp was tough in an unfair way, not in a 'you really weren't supposed to fight this yet' way.

I disagree. It's been 10+ years since I last played, but the game flat out tells you that you aren't harming it. So you close the door and you leg it. You learn that exploration is dangerous and you can't just "fight anything with a reasonable chance of success". Going back to that dungeon and clearing it out is one of the most satisfying things you can do in Daggerfall.

Tell em theyre dumb, tell em now and as honest as you can.

you think its bad now, wait until you get players who have never had a tactically smart GM and have been playing for a long time, youll be fucked.

>That guy GM thread@!!!@#@$#

He tried. They just rerolled.
>Incase you're talking about the players; grab some rope and gasoline.

>My "that GM" detector is going off.
I dunno. If they wiped themselves out when he wasn't there to hold their hand they may just be retarded.

Have you tried ASKING THEM what type of game they want, rather than deciding on something ahead of time that they don't give a shit about?

> DM wants it one way

> Everybody else wants it another

> "It's MY game not yours!"

It's everybody's game, and it sounds like they'd have a better game with a better DM.
