What do You think about level scaling in cRPGs? (lemmy.world)

Personally I dislike it very much. It take feel of achievement. Why even bother with gaining experience if it makes enemies stronger?

I like it, but only as an alternative to very good balancing with very slow power scaling. Unless I’m playing a superhero game, I don’t want to one-shot starting enemies once I’m higher level.

This is all tied to my preference for immersion above all and my tendency to fiddle around in a game pretending I’m playing a TTRPG rather than rushing to the end.
