Sounds like a skill issue. Joking aside I play largely old school games as a baseline, but maybe try playing some newer CRPGs to ease into it like Pillars of Eternity, Tyranny, or really any of Owlcats games. Also it could be worse ya couldve tried playing Arcanum which is rough even for me to play.
I want old games back! Give me more Old School CRPGs damnit, hell give me janky as unpolished Fallout 1 and 2 CRPGs.
Ever seen a Dodo bird? Imagine that but smaller and more fucked up. The reason for this is because the Dodo bird was a type of pigeon that had developed neotenic traits which combined with island gigantism resulted in the ever beloved but extict island bird we know and nourn today.
Also neoteny is the retention of juvenile traits into adulthood.
Are we sure this isnt a fae type situation with Sauron? Like its said you can only kill a fae with pure or true iron but I have found that they are rather susceptible to being hit by a 2001 Honda Civic.
