[QUOTE="Immoralkickass, post: 7170766, member: 6864983"] I think LMoP is meant to be the classic feel of DnD, a standard party (standard race/class combo) fighting classic DnD enemies like goblins and bugbears, being typical heroes and not much else. Just because its an RPG doesnt mean combat has to be easy, otherwise there won't be the feeling of accomplishment and heroism. Also, that is precisely why they had to ask help from adventurers, otherwise Gundren could just get a few men from Phandalin and do it themselves. And yes, the module was meant for a party of 5. Anything else than that, your party will really suffer. You really shouldn't expect victory to be spoonfed to you, or the world to mollycoddle your candy ass. After all, if you think Cragmaw Castle is hard, wait till you go to Thundertree. But its quite true that the opportunities for RP is few, and as a video gamer myself, it tends to feel a bit 'video gamey'. After defeating goblin #157 and finding yet another chest filled with gold, potions and gemstones in it, I'm starting to see a pattern here... [/QUOTE]
