March 5, 20187 yr If I understand Gromnir correctly (never easy, enjoyable, or a certainty) Alpha Striking as a tactic I employed only as a last resort usually in lieu of save scumming. The first time I jumped into White Marches I was woefully unprepared for it. I think I hit Crägholdt Bluffs with a level 10 party and consequently had to ambush and kite my way through every encounter. Aside from that, I was always running around in Sneak Mode to reveal hidden objects and traps, but never allocated any points in that direction, so it was merely slower rather than advantageous. Once I got the hang of the game mechanics, I found combat occasionally frustrating, rarely interesting, but nearly never taxing.
