My Biggest Gripes with Lorerim / Requiem (Need Help)
I’d like to start by saying I’m a Souls veteran, so I enjoy challenging games when the difficulty feels fair. In FromSoftware games, the level design, enemy placement, and encounters usually feel intentional. Even when the game is hard, it makes sense.
But with Lorerim/Requiem, that hasn’t really been my experience.
A lot of encounters feel less like careful combat and more like constant gank fights. Enemies are extremely aggressive, and it often turns into 10–20 enemies rushing you all at once. I was in a cave recently where several trolls sprinted at me at the same time, and it honestly started feeling more like Dynasty Warriors than grounded combat.
I’m not trying to hate on the modpack or burn it down it’s clearly just not for me.
I actually like the deleveled progression and hardcore aspects of Requiem. My main issue is the encounter design and enemy density. I prefer challenging combat with smarter enemy placement and more deliberate encounters, not nonstop swarms of hyper-aggressive enemies.
So I wanted to ask: are there any modpacks out there that keep the hardcore/deleveled feel, but with more thoughtful encounter design and fewer crowded gank fights?
