Stan McStanly said:Aight, good point, but mario can still attack easily without fire flowers. Link has what, bombs and metal boxes otherwise? Ah, that's the million-dollar question that makes the game so fun! HPMOR said:Professor Quirrell straightened from where he had leaned on the desk. "Mr. Potter, all things have their accustomed uses. Give me ten unaccustomed uses of objects in this room for combat!"
For a moment Harry was rendered speechless by the sheer, raw shock of having been understood.
And then the ideas started to pour out.
"There are desks which are heavy enough to be fatal if dropped from a great height. There are chairs with metal legs that could impale someone if driven hard enough. The air in this classroom would be deadly by its absence, since people die in vacuum, and it can serve as a carrier for poison gases."
Harry had to stop briefly for breath, and into that pause Professor Quirrell said:
"That's three. You need ten. The rest of the class thinks that you've already used up the whole contents of the classroom."
"Ha! The floor can be removed to create a spike pit to fall into, the ceiling can be collapsed on someone, the walls can serve as raw material for Transfiguration into any number of deadly things - knives, say."
"That's six. But surely you're scraping the bottom of the barrel now?"
"I haven't even started!" The melee combat in BotW is shallow to encourage you to play like dunkey. |

@ShadowlinkHeh, I did leave that part out... It's true that even in situations like this: ...you typically need to finish the enemies off with melee weapons. I don't think I ever actually attacked an enemy with magnesis + metal box. So I agree, even more variety in combat would be great! Because, yeah... Quirrell said:The Hungarian Horntail is taller than a dozen men! It breathes fire so quickly and so accurately that it can melt a Snitch in midflight! One Killing Curse will bring it down!
The Mountain Troll is more dangerous than the Hungarian Horntail! It is strong enough to bite through steel! Its hide is resistant enough to withstand Stunning Hexes and Cutting Charms! Its sense of smell is so acute that it can tell from afar whether its prey is part of a pack, or alone and vulnerable! Most fearsome of all, the troll is unique among magical creatures in continuously maintaining a form of Transfiguration on itself - it is always transforming into its own body. If you somehow succeed in ripping off its arm it will grow another within seconds! Fire and acid will produce scar tissue which can temporarily confuse a troll's regenerative powers - for an hour or two! They are smart enough to use clubs as tools! The mountain troll is the third most perfect killing machine in all Nature! One Killing Curse will bring it down.
Your sad excuse for a third-year Defence textbook will suggest to you that you expose the mountain troll to sunlight, which will freeze it in place. This, my young apprentices, is the sort of useless knowledge you will never find in my lessons. You do not encounter mountain trolls in open daylight! The idea that you should use sunlight to stop them is the result of foolish textbook authors trying to show off their mastery of minutia at the expense of practicality. Just because there is a ridiculously obscure way of dealing with mountain trolls does not mean you should actually try to use it! The Killing Curse is unblockable, unstoppable, and works every single time on anything with a brain. If, as an adult wizard, you find yourself incapable of using the Killing Curse, then you can simply Apparate away! Likewise if you are facing the second most perfect killing machine, a Dementor. You just Apparate away! ...once you get Urbossa's Fury, pretty much every overworld mini-boss is trivial. Just press the Killing Button! And I think if you made weapons more durable and left everything else about BotW the same, the entire game would be just as trivial as the late-game. That's why I loved Trial of the Sword so much; it's a hard challenge that demands resourcefulness. Before Tears of the Kingdom comes out, I should do a run where I go straight from the Great Plateau to Hyrule Castle. |
