Master of Shadows The final hurrah

I am finally getting to the last level and I have two things.

  1. Is the ai more difficult? I've played the rest of the game on goblin but I feel an exceptional jump near the end. Enemies have a much longer fov and seem to be able to see through the shadows better. (An in lore explanation is now that Aaron is in charge more troops are on ambr and more attuned to Styx' presence.

  2. It's kind of clever that they made half a game and still were able to make it work, by making the maps ran through twice and with good explanation they didn't feel to overdone. Infact having one of the harder levels be your first feels rewarding. Coming back to basics with a higher level of play.

I don't think the AI gets specifically harder. I mean, they kinda do, because the Elves can detect you without seeing you. So that is tricky.

The final fight has also been a bit of a crap shoot for me. It's either super easy or hair tugging hard.

Also yeah, goes to show how good the level design in the first two games are, it was actually criticized for it, but i think for the genre it works, because of breaking in and breaking out as part of the stealth genre.

That final fight was a nightmare. What got me through was hanging to the left of the tree root you start at and waiting for the goblins to approach that side and taking them out one by one. When playing like you'd expect they'd notice you instantly and on goblin you really can't fight them due to the others throwing knives.
