Wow, got stomped in Crägholds!?

[Dorftek]

Just received a quest to go to Crägholds Bluffs so I did only to get humiliated on the second fight where there was a drunken Orlan and loads of others. I'm lvl 10 but I feel like its probably too low for this place, am I correct?

You can't say you weren't warned. The bear in Valewood taught me that when NPCs say it's going to be a tough fight, I'd damn better listen to them. It's meant to be a high level area, around level 14.

...and as someone else (I think PrimeJunta) said in another thread: There's a reason why the landlord isn't worried about the mercenaries laying siege at his place.

I think that your party needs to be a minimum of level 13, maybe 14, to do well in Craghold.  Maybe a really, really good player could do ok with a little less.  But honestly, I ran into the same thing when I went there the first time.  

 

Craghold is an area not to be taken lightly.

Ok cool gives me something to look forward to.

Oh so the landlord is hostile? I had the impression I was there to help or rescue him from these mercenaries :-P

[AndreaColombo]

Well, I didn't say he's hostile ... I said there's a reason he's not worried

 

 

But yeah, he's hostile—not out of senseless spite, but because you've got something he wants.

Sounds like fun! Anyway, off-topic, I went to stalwart instead, first with lvl scaling off and cleared the village from ogres then reloaded and put lvl scaling on and did the same but didn't notice any real difference in difficulty. Does it only affect certain key fights or is the difference just very small? (I play on Hard as it is my first playthrough)

[Blunderboss]

On Hard u can probably just enable max level scalling from the beggining on all areas , especially if u have a full party .

Between easy hard and normal enemy have same stats just u can meet more of them in same encounter on hard than you would on normall .

My level 5 party killed one patrolling marksman at Craghold. With scroll buffs and some other op priest stuff, may have killed the barbarian and fighter, but last time I tried I got wiped and the fighter was at 80% endurance and barbarian was at 25%.

 

One of them is worth about 5 level 5 characters. A level 7 party should be able to take on 2-3 of them, in a pull. Problem is when the AI calls in reinforcements.
