So I've been dying a lot, and couldn't get past the “into the darkness quest“. Then I decided to try to level up more in the easier zones near other towns before moving on to it. But now as I go to one of those zones in level 15 (instead of the suggested 7), I encounter rare enemies of 35 level, which can kill in one hit. Is that a penalty of having a too high level?
Yes enemies do level as you do, but there is more to the difficulty than just raw level number.
By getting yourself to a higher level before doing those harder zones, you get yourself a bigger suite of survival tools to use.
My feedback meter decays into coding. Give me feedback and I make mods.
Yeah, zones scale within a certain range based on what level you are when you enter them, but in general the same enemy will usually be easier if you are both a higher level. You should do all 6 starting zones which are available to anyone before moving on. As for that level 35 enemy, sometimes you get enemies much harder than the rest of the zone.
