      An elite player would zip in at near-light speed on a burning pheonix, listen to all of the dialogue and cutscenes, admire the textures on the tent, sleeping bag and lantern, grab a collectible journal, harvest a mushroom, then zip out at near-light speed again, blasting every creature in the area with an aoe mount passive on accident.

    Tbh it IS a very good feeling when you go into the main story overleveled.
    It's like using cheats, but you actually earned them, so it ends up balancing out.
    Even better when a game can get reasonably challenging deeper into the quest still.

      LOTRO many people complain about how over leveled they are after doing all the main story quests, then they get to level 70 and suddenly the game catches up, and the go from1 shoting mobs to dying every 30 seconds. Funny when just crossing a river and suddenly your super powerful toon is all squishy. The older players always warn them, and say do more quests get more deeds done. The ones coming from other games laugh and say "I know what I am doing" then realize nope they don't, because all those side quests and deeds we told you to do actually are critical to building the toon. The next thing you see is them back in the starting areas doing all those deeds and side quests, or quitting because the game "is impossible"

      @@DhruvRed wdym bad mechanic from Bethesda? Enemies scaling to your level is great.
      You CAN put all your eggs into grinding out smithing, enchanting and alchemy if you want, get yourself really overpowered...
      But if you do that, your weapons base damage is shit and so is your armour, and likely your health, too. Course, if you use those three properly, you also become god, so it is balanced out somewhat.
      Does it mean that you get punished for trying to game the game until you get it right? Yes.
      Is that a bad thing? Only if you suck at it, I guess.
      Once you get it, it feels great. You play the game normally a few times, learn how shit works, then you get to play as a Lore Accurate Dragon Born. And nothing's quite as fun as Lore Accurate Dragon Born.

    Alternate ending: It's one of the quests where you're supposed to get defeated, and the thieves guild leader is invincible. So the protagonist has to sit down and have something to eat and wait several hours for the thieves guild leader to finally kill them.
    Eventually they remember they have a regeneration ring on and that they need to remove that first. ...but it's one of the games where you can't switch your gear out during combat.

By the time I face the boss, he can only deal 1-2 HP damage per turn while I hit him for 500+ with normal attack. Yet he can't die, so the only way for the battle to end is for boss to chip away my 900+ HP 1 turn at a time. Sad.

    OMG so back in the day my little brother tried for YEARS to get me to play Skyrim and I was so not into it, I'm more into FPSs & kept starting a campaign but giving up quickly. This reminds me of when I gave in and finally played it seriously.
    I looked at all the in game stats & spent weeks making iron daggers so I could forge Dragon Armor, then I spent the rest of the game taking no damage and playing the campaign on basically beginner mode. I beat the whole game in less than 2 weeks & bought the expansion. Very fun times.

      I used to be one of my guild's raid tanks. I was pretty well geared, and it was fun single-manning the old raids and dungeons (though some are tricky because they have multi-player mechanics). Those guys couldn't even hit me. Literally they just missed everything. I kept trying to find stupid ways to accidentally kill them with splash damage, because I'd one-shot them if I hit them for real. My fave was when I fought the LIch King. I had him down to 1 hit point (hard floor - he should have been dead but they locked it at 1) before he started his first speech. :D

      It's how I used to level in WOW. Do all the dungeons to get geared and level 5 or 6 times. Get full blues and maybe even a couple epics, then go back and hit the main story quest. The trick is to stay right at the upper end where you are still getting good xp, while overleveling the content, so it's super fast.

      @@enthuast3370 that is actually an issue we resolve by giving Stat boosts to bosses dependant on items.
      It is very difficult to get a clean boss which cannot be cheesed, as we say.
      Most of the time, sadly, the owners do not care. We want the best player experience, yet often we cannot provide it for the playersm
