What does /v/ think about enemies that level as you progress through game?
Examples include legendary mob enemies in Fallout or bandits in The Witcher that are higher level ban Geralt?
Sure it makes the gameplay interesting and keeps you on your toes with new challenges but it also removes all sense of accomplishment.

I think it defeats the idea of an RPG. I usually don't like it.

Depends on how they do it. The only games I can think of that did it properly were STALKER: SoC and Baldur's Gate. Ideally, the enemies should grow slightly in quantity and/or gain some new abilities. Adjusting just HP and damage is the way you don't do it.

Almost always an awful mechanic, easiest way me to get me to quickly drop an RPG. It kills almost any sense of character progression.

I think fallout 4 actually did it right
Regular enemies don't scale but significant enemies do

I never noticed a size difference between Mutants, Brutes and Masters ingame
Am I retarded?

I'm fine with a level floor where you still run into higher level enemies that will fuck you up unless you're skilled enough, but a full leveling scale is stupid. Fallout 3's encounter zone system in which the area is locked to the level you encountered them was pretty dumb though.

Masters and Overlords weren't in Fallout 4, but were in FO3. Not that east coast Mutants makes any sense lore wise.

So cool it killed the thread...

I can't stand scaling. When applied world-wide, it renders any sense of achievement moot and, at least in Oblivion, has the perverse effect of making the game more difficult and less rewarding as one plays. Even when applied to specific areas, it denies the player that feeling of increasing mastery and control that's the entire point of learning how to play a fucking video game and rendering the entire experience bland and uninspiring (Pillars of Eternity, Dragon Age: Origins).The game should have difficult areas and easier areas, and if you get your ass kicked at one point, you should be able to come back later and clean the fuck up. Best games I've experienced this in have been Divine Divinity and Morrowind.
