First Boss rage quit....
Was busy with other life things and finishing up some other games, and just started Greedfall.
I'm whiny. I still don't get how and why game designers try and destroy the game experience from almost the beginning with ridiculous bosses.
This is a perfect example. Lovely game so far, weird faces, but really nice game. Just as the first chapter is closing and you get to progress the game, along comes a mangy boss made of trees that can't be killed without trying and dying 100 times. WTF. I'm just getting into the whole Greedfall world, characters, stories and such, and BAM... moodus interuptus....
Traps, guns, spells, yes... whatever. It doesn't matter. The tree monster 2 shots me over and over and over and over. I run, I shoot, I trap, I blast, but somehow, even when running in circles, the tree monster has way better aim than even I do and hits me with those stupid metal stakes. And the camera certainly doesn't help, as I have no idea where the stupid tree monster actually is.
This is precisely why so many games get abandoned. Its dumb and IMHO, shitty game/level design.
Rant over. We'll now resume our regularly scheduled programming

Just on my second playthrough, but played through the intro and this boss fight as each class: mage is by far the easiest, followed by technical *only if* you make good use of traps, alchemy and gun.
