[QUOTE="Chainsaw, post: 5042150, member: 70196"] I don't recall playing that one, but I did get bored with the Elder Scrolls: Oblivion game because of the scaling monsters. For me, getting powerful enough to survive in the tough areas, where there's likely the best treasure, is what's fun. Plus, if I want to chance it, I can try to make it before I'm ready. I realize not everyone enjoys that sort of thing, but what's great about D&D is that we don't all have to play the same way. Edit: Incidentally, I'm currently playing in a 4E game where the DM's running through the published WotC modules.. it's fairly linear and, of course, scaled to our level - basically the opposite of what I said I liked. Despite being suboptimal for me, I still have fun because I like the other group members and I ratchet up my personal danger level by always trying to pull stupid stunts with my guy. Plus, I suppose we all basically agreed to "take this path" when the DM solicited players, because we knew it was an "adventure path" type campaign. Might be a LITTLE different if I'd signed up for a sandbox and realized we were being forced through the modules. [/QUOTE]
