Right, I think I'm close to the end of act 2 with my Outlander (on elite, because I'm bravestupid) and I love the game so far, everything is nice and fast-paced, combat feels fantastic, I'm loving the graphics style despite my initial reaction to the opening cinematic being absolute horror, thanks to some unique gear my guy's been looking like a badass western desperado for about 20 levels. I only have one major, major gripe with the game and that is whenever it tries to up the difficulty it seems to do so in the most obnoxious, irritating ways possible.
Stuff like being forced into big fights against lots of hard hitting enemies in small cramped areas gets rather annoying when I'm playing essentially a glass cannon (I'm trying to keep my survivability up but it's not really working that well). I just had one instance where I had to kill a large melee boss (easy) BUT he had ~12 other guys with him, including ranged guys, one with some sort of bone prison-ish spell (that killed me a few times if I'm honest, as suddenly being unable to move with several things that can 2-3 shot me chasing me equals dead) and two other unique mobs including one who ressurects the normal guys, all in an area too small for me to avoid attacks until I was down to the 3 unique guys, that whole encounter was just NOT fun in the slightest, and I was 3 levels above the enemies!
Also the major boss fights tend to have the same pattern: Big guy who hits like a truck and take forever to kill in an area that infinitely spawns additional enemies. Damnit, pick one of the last two, not both, if the boss is gonna take forever to kill at least give me a fight where I can unload at it for more than 1-2 shots at a time without risking being swarmed by stuff.
Lastly, enemies that are only difficult because they take 10+ minutes to kill and seem to rely on me either getting really unlucky at some point, or that I start trying to unload for more than the 1-2 shots I'll normally throw because I'm bored with the fight and simply want it over with.
My apologies for the rant (I've just come out of 2 really irritating encounters in a row) but as I said, I love the game 99% of the time, and utterly despise it the remaining 1%.
