So it's like every enemy is basically the same level as you? That can't be the case.

What would be the point of levels then?

To add a grind that encourages you to buy XP boosts.

Oh so there's still the areas where you can't go because the enemies are level 80 and you're level 2.

It's tied to the difficulty level somehow, and I think there's a soft cap and a hard cap and it's really just a mess.

Yeah there's still an actual order you have to play the game in but I just hit level 5 and now suddenly all the enemies in the first area are level 5.

is slavery a major thing in the game? because the spartan society was like 75-80% slaves, they didn't just skim over that fact did they?

I'm usually not a fan of level scaling, but I'm allowing a pass for this game. There's just a lot I like about it overall.

There's no game in 2019 so I don't think this'll hit $20 that quickly. Has Origins even hit that low yet?

My main issue is just that I don't feel any stronger. Like you're not unlocking any significant abilities in the beginning so you're kind of just in this weird spot where you are leveling up but because of the scaling it doesn't matter.

And they didn't even improve much in regards to combat over Origins and it's not like that was amazing.

AC combat has always been just as mindless as the platforming. Level scaling ruins the immersion fuck

Okay so I think I may have it?

The first area starts out as Level 1-4. Once you hit Level 4, every enemy is at least Level 4 so it shows 4-4.

Then you hit 5 and it's 5-5.

Then you hit 6 and it's 6-6.

When you hit Level 7 it stays 6-6 EXCEPT for wild animals and higher-tier enemies which always progress with you.

I haven't hit Level 8 to see what happens.

This is on normal.

Never. Dropped to 30, 35 for a bunch of temporary sales though. Msrp dropped to 50 like 2 weeks ago I think.
