wierd difficulty curve
Thu, 10/22/2009 - 12:06
im just sort of confused here. this game has a really akward difficulty cirve to it. i was a level 12 or so trying to get the mine key from sledge's safehouse. i wasted thousands of dollars for ammo, health packs and respawns, but i could hardly get past the first room. then i go build a sniper rifle or something and level up, and suddenly i pwn everyone without getting hurt at all. i didnt get any new weapons or anything either. whats up witha that?

The game is designed such
The game is designed such that the amount of damage you do vs mobs is greatly reduced when they are higher levels then you. So when you hit a few levels, your damage vs those bandits went up a lot.

Me also
I was in this mess last night. I followed the quests all the way to this sledge guys hideout and was struggling to take down 1 guy. Once i got through a couple rooms i had to take down harder and harder guys. I got stuck in the one room and when i kept dying i spawned halfway through it. Then when i realized i couldnt finish this quest i had to turn around and had to do a suicidal run back to the front. So once i finally got through i went back to the starting town and started the quests on the bounty board to level up.

Always check your Quest Log,
Always check your Quest Log, and at the bottom the difficulty should say "Trivial, Easy, Normal, Tough, Hard, Impossible" or something along those lines. Only do them if they are Trivial - Tough. Hard = bring a friend or 3, impossible = nonono.
Sledge is a level 16-18 quest, mang.

I am almost at the end of my
I am almost at the end of my first play through and I have fought several major bosses, and sledges safe house was undoubtably the hardest part of the game for me so far. I then did some side quests, and got ahead of the leveling curve and from there the rest of the game was much easier.

yeah during my first play
yeah during my first play through of the game I honestly did not know which bosses will be hard or which ones wouldn't be
because it can be pretty easy then get really intense then easy again then intense, I like it though, many variations. the game isn't all that hard that it makes you want to throw the controller at the tv because I was able to beat the game without getting stuck, ive died maybe 2-3 times at the hard bosses.
I donno about multi player though i only got to about level 8 on my alt with my buddy and the monsters seem a little harder but then there was 2 of us.
I know what you're talking about, I did the mine key mission early on but couldn't get very far into Sledge's territory.
I too spent a bunch of money on health and ammo and couldn't do it (and having the goons waiting for me to respawn didn't help)... Then I noticed that several of the enemies were level 17! No wonder I couldn't beat them.
I don't think it's a problem with the curve, it's just a matter of fighting guys more your level. As you increase you have access to new and better weapons (not to mention better skills and more HP).
