I'm usually fan of hacking my way through the main quest, and as fast as possible, so sidequests for me are always distracting. I love fighting in a RPG.

I do too, especially when I have many different weapons and spells and can figure out cool combinations in my party.
But for me it's not all about fighting and I like doing something else in between.
As I said, sidequests are only getting too distracting for me when they require a lot of time.
That's also the reason why I don't like looking for secret rooms so much. It thwarts me from moving on quickly. As long as all the secret rooms are in spots that are marked at least somehow (like sparkles, cracks, ...), okay. But when they can be just anywhere, looking for can get pretty tedious.

Well I've got my own style of playing I guess.
For instance I like to loot fully a dungeon, but I hate exploring towns lol

Oh yes, I can comprehend that, lol!
In a dungeon there's more action due to fighting. In a town there's a lot of talking but unless you trigger new quests not much happens.

In a really funny game, with a lot of interactive dialogs, exploring towns can be OK.
But usually I don't quite like it as much as a good hack' n slash session. +::biggrin

You're a bloodthirsty slayer! +::biggrin

Yes yes yes lol
When I play I'm a destroyer, but I give enemies a chance, I tackle them in the Hardest mode, always. +::wizard

Hehehe!
Well, hardest mode is not so much for me. For me normal mode usually is just right because I don't like when common fights take too long. Then they also distract me from exploring and continuing in the main quest.

but in my games finding the secrets usually renders even the hardest mode very playable. +::music

Oh well, in Dreamscape I wouldn't call Hell Mode very playable! +::fear

by **Indinera** » Sat Nov 09, 2013 2:48 pm

Isn't Nightmare the maximum and Hell a special one?

by **Cassiopeia** » Sat Nov 09, 2013 2:48 pm

Ah yes, I was talking 'bout Nightmare. Sorry, my bad.

by **Indinera** » Sat Nov 09, 2013 2:57 pm

I played and finished Nightmares in high spirits :razz:

by **Cassiopeia** » Sat Nov 09, 2013 3:03 pm

Of course you did, you're a bloodthirsty slayer! :razz:

I did finish Nightmare quite well too, but my goal was to play Hell Mode too (from scratch) and that's a lot lot more difficult because without that one reward from one of the modes (forgot which) they don't heal up as much after every fight.
I dropped it then though because of limited time, and then I rather felt like replaying TBOL.
Not sure if I'll continue that playthrough of DSC one day. It's not that I couldn't do it, it's just that I don't have the patience.
