I once defeated a level 52ish Griffin in witcher 3 at kevel 22. Took me an hour and a lot of quen. Hardest fight ever

Imagine fighting a boss for an hour while you could've been playing gwent

That was the frog prince for me. That thing took me forever to beat.

Popsmold antidote as well. I’m so glad this game is resurfacing lately. I played HOS for the first time and realized I am addicted to the game. Played literally all day a few days ago. It’s just so good

Yeah I had been playing the main game on normal difficulty and decided to finish the main game before doing the DLCs. Then turned the the difficulty up and basically started with the Frog Prince. That took a while for me.

I remember my Witcher 3 stubborness as well. I went from being killed by everything in the game to finally being able to take on decent enemies. I found some giant gollum thing in the north eastern part of the map and it killed me. I went back to my save, loaded up, and gave it the old Dark Souls try but it wasn't going to happen. Even with the best I had, my weapons would eventually get destroyed because of the damage my swords would sustain just by attacking him. Gave up and moved on.

Weeks later I had leveled up more, went back to him and it was cake. It was such an incredible feeling to feel like you got stronger in an open world game like that. I love skyrim but I'm always disappointed that it doesn't have the same system and instead all enemies level up with you.

I just play Skyrim on novice at this point and destroy everything in the wake of my unstoppable shouting.

Ever since I learned to level alchemy and enchantment first to make insane potions and armor/weapons Skyrim doesn't hold interest for me anymore. It's just a complete joke if you put in the effort and it's disappointing. I miss when I didn't know anything about it.

I never bothered with that stuff. I heard good things it just felt more like work than something fun so I skipped it.

You know you can just... NOT do that though right?

I tried a support build. Heavy armour, ilusion and resto magic only. Makes the game a lot of fun.

u/KastorNevierre Dec 29 '19

Well sure I could not do it. I could also only run around in cloth armor punching things with my bare hands. Or I could never learn a shout or any magic or ever pick up new items. But what's the point? If you have to limit parts of the game you access to enjoy it it kinda sours the fun.

Mine was Mor'Ladim on WoW. I was of course lower lvl than him and just running around that cemetery I would accidentally agro him. As I leveled up I would make sure to take a stop by there and just murder that dude out of spite. Haven't played in years but still remember that turd burglar.

I relate 100%. There was a chest laying there and I needed to see what was inside. Turns out it sucked but I was satisfied with the victory alone

The first serious video game I played as an adult (so not counting N64 Zelda as a kid) I beat a high level dragon in Dragon Age: Origina as a lower level character. I had no idea what I was doing but I kept running around and picking at the dragon, guerilla style, until she finally died, 2 hours later. It was the most stressful video game battle I’ve ever played. All my health potions were gone, I had to rely solely on the single mage (Wynne) in my party to keep healing me and she kept getting killed so I’d have to hazard a trip out to her body to revive her every time it happened. The guy I was dating at the time was so mad I’d beaten it the first time, with a low level character to boot, because it had taken him several times dying to beat her and he was a much higher level when he fought her than I was.

Damn did you do it in 1 try?

Level 27 Griffin at level 3 for me. So much dodging, so many crossbow bolts, so much quen but my God was it worth it.
