I’m incredibly fed up with the quest “Breaking Blade” for the human street rat. The level of difficulty is insane. I’ll go through it more with a list…
- I’m a thief. Not the most durable of classes, but evading, dodging, and shadowstepping should get me out of the way, right? Wrong. Right after I walk into the bar, angry bandits spawn outside, trapping me and my companion (Quinn) inside the bar. Much dodging, rolling, and stabbing later, I’m dead. I come back, flustered. This time I run outside as soon as I pull to use a ranged weapon against these enemies. I dodge, shoot arrows, dodge, shadowstep, but it’s all in vain for they’re constantly auto-locking onto me with pistols. I get down but manage to take one out. 3 more are left and they’re camping Quinn’s body. I come back the next time and take them all out.
Death Count: 2.
- Suddenly, MORE bandits spawn, alongside a boss. I didn’t have time to heal Quinn, so he remains on the floor. I die from the surprise attack, as well as being cornered in the bar. I come back, die, come back, die, come back, die…- But I manage to defeat all of the bandits, except for the boss (Doc Howler).
Death Count: 4.
- Long story short, I try all weapon combos I can. After 20 minutes of looking things up online, I try to use a S/P combo and blind her so few of her attacks hit. No success. Each time I manage to get her to about 30% health, then I die. Eventually, all of my armor has deteriorated. I look for someway to repair it in the instance, but there is none.
Death Count: 10.
What am I doing wrong? I’m level 10, the level of the quest. My armor is decent. I am taking advantage of dodges and shadowsteps, blinds, and such. However, even if I dodge/shadowsteps away, she simply shoots me from afar, hardly helping anything.
I’ve had to restart this twice because all of my armor had deteriorated.
Is this quest intentionally hair-pullingly hard? Is there any intention to nerf it? Has anyone else had the same problems?
Sorry for the wall of text, but this is just insanely annoying.
