Question So how do you guys feel about base game Dark Ages combat now? Cuz I’m in love.
So I’m pretty sure lots of us have had time to get through dark ages and revelations, and in that many of us have done a ton of replaying or ripatorium. But now I’m curious.
Has revelations changed your view on base game Dark Ages? Cuz it rly has changed mine.
I love revelations and I’ve gotten so much better since I started dark ages (literally look at the attached vid from a long time ago)
Honestly i thought that base dark ages was a tad lacking, even with how much love i had for it then.
Revelations has expanded my horizon so much. Not only cuz of spear, but I’ve been integrating shield so much more in my ripatorium combat. And in short, it taught me so much about the shield and how fun it can be.
For example, shield bash falter into some sort of combo and if the enemy is in execution, throw the shield at them to falter other enemies, and then execute. Then just use that time to lock down another enemy.
On top of that revelations has shown me use for every weapon. I never used to use rocket launcher or the shredder. But now i realise how useful it is, particularly for combing mancubi.
Even the ravager i was terrible with cuz the slow movement speed, but now ik that i can use it on a locked target, bash out of the area into a far away enemy, and obliterate everything else. I love it.
Anyways I’m replaying base game for like the 5th time now lol its so fun and I’m still learning and optimising weapon usages. Overall for me personally, dlc taught me the value of base game combat, and now its starting to get rly close to overtaking eternal. No offence to eternal, I’ll always go back, but the combat loop in dark ages is starting to feel far better for me personally and the fact that I’m learning things on my own is only adding to that.
