Bad rng is not just during raids.
I just had a situation in the swamp that has caused me to rage quit for a bit.
In what was about a stamina bar sprint with carrot soup, deer stew, and boar jerky I killed around:
25+ draugr some one starred
12+ skeletons at least two of them two starred and several one starred
5+ leeches
2 blobs
in one tiny location of the swamp. I get that this game is also multiplayer, but thats too many concentrated enemies for someone without gear from the zone. (There were also the fire things but they at least stay around the flame spout so I could comfortably ignore them.)
Full story:
I accidently sailed too close to the swamp without poison mead and died from leech poison while defending my boat. Ok that makes sense time to go get the corpse.
So I try to go to the location on foot making sure I bring lv 2 troll armor (best I can get since I havent boated scrap iron back yet) plenty of arrows, a bronze sword, and a bone tower shield - all upgraded as much as they can be for where I'm at. And the best food and meads I have. I wasn't playing around.
6 dead body piles and 2 evil bone piles - many of them mostly surrounded by deep water since this is at the northern shore of the location. Even in clusters of 2-3 all were within aggro range of each other.
So thats a minimum of 6 draugr and 2 skeletons constantly spawning as I kill them.
I take care of the piles but have to use a stamina mead. Then elite draugr from a nearby body pile barely within sight distance close in on my location from the noise, it turns to night so a bunch of other draugr and skeletons spawn as well as some blobs spawn basically around me as I'm fighting.
I take a hit from the 1 star elite because Im low on stamina at this point. I should have known to pop Eikthyr then but chose a hasty healing mead instead. I see at this point that my poison resistance is at 30 seconds remaining from the time it took to travel and kill all the stuff. With all the archers and blobs and an elite chasing me down I quite literally couldn't take a moment to drink more poison resistance mead or I'd take too many hits.
I carefully manage my stamina while blocking arrows and trying to stay out of the water and kill the elite and several more skeletons and then two of now three blobs closing in. But now I'm poisoned without resistance. I run a tiny bit north away from the last blob and remaining archers and oh great ANOTHER elite from ANOTHER body pile I apparently didn't see.
I try to drink the poison resistance mead but its too late and I die again.
BS. I guess I should just be grateful an abomination didn't spawn on top of it all. Thats what I would have used Eikthyr on.
