I’m currently down in the sewers, my character is level 15 and I’ve got alright equipment, I think.
But man, these plague rats. One hit and I can’t dodge, run, block or attack until the plague timer runs down, and if they hit me again as I try to walk away, the timer is increased. And usually they’re not alone. Most of the time I’ve been hit once by a plague rat I’ve died, a slow agonizing death, which is thematically fitting I suppose but doesn’t make for a great gaming experience.
I feel like this mechanic is unnecessarily punishing.
EDIT: Oh, apparently it’s because of my pants, “stamina loss on damage taken”. So, any equipment with this effect is completely worthless?
