I don't know if this has been covered already but do you have any intention spawning monsters in areas after we finished them and moved to another area or when we quit the game and come back, like Diablo?

VincentD - there will be regions in the game where this happens yes, but it won't be everywhere.

very nice! I love RPG grinding, side effects of being a completionist.

But they won't let us kick the crates for random minor treasures

Levelling up is more to focus your players to certain abilities... level of difficulty roughly stays the same no matter how advanced you are. |

bobsoup - monster difficulty is tied to the region you are in and your current level.

We must be on very different pages because I disagree with ... "Grinding wouldn't really help much" "level of difficulty roughly stays the same no matter how advanced you are" both of those statements very strongly. Are you talking about Heroes of Steel RPG or have I gotten way off track somehow? |

Generally I grind to gain abilities, items and gold. For example in Diablo I didn't grind because I wanted to fight harder monsters, I did it for the skills and loot.

And I think we're going to be delivering that experience in spades.
A region in Episode 2, for example, might scale between levels 18 and 26.
If that level does not have respawn, you will fight it once, at level 18 to 26, or any between based on when in the game you decide to visit it, and your difficulty setting.
If that level does have respawn, then you will be able to fight it at level 18 to 26 as often as it respawns (different regions, of course, have different rates.)
In my scenario, however, the monsters and rewards in this level will never go above 26. You can return and grind this level for sub-optimal XP, gear, gold, drops, etc.

I actually love the grinding thing too ... I want to have my party at the highest possible level they can just because it helps me get their talents unlocked and specialized. I hate to see "career paths" for characters that I can never complete  |

Grinding is good so long it doesn't become power leveling. I can see the need for grinding when EP 1 parties have to adjust to the new enemies and etc of EP 2, esp when it comes to improving neglected skills like lock picking or buff spells that take a few upgrades to become worth while to mid-level characters.

Another nice side effect...not having to play several hours to get a new party to an optimal testing area to check things. Annoying as heck to test something get a clear result, then not be able to test it again with that party ever again.
