What's with the respawn rate??

Enemies respawn at an alarming rate, making the game completely unrealistic.

Example 1: Walk down a path that you've cleared with no other way to enter the path. Turn around to go back for something and 4 bandits are walking around casually waiting to kick your teeth in again. This is within 1 minute.

Example 2: Sneaking through the woods as your health is low, avoiding the patrols, and then while waiting for a patrol to pass 4 templars spawn right on your current position, surrounding you. Do templars have new powers now that allow them to magically appear?

The spawn rate is nuts and makes the game more like Far Cry 2 (a disaster) than a realistic immersive game. HUGE step down for the franchise.

This really needs to be fixed. I'd actually love it if respawn could be turned off so that I can enjoy the story and the game, along with realistic battle conditions.

Right now, it's a grind.

    I agree this totally takes away from the immersion not to mention I can literally sit there and wait for respawn to happen and gather XP

    Btw not sure how they gonna fix it or if they want to because for instance for some quests like getting the meat for the hunter respawning is needed becauses they didnt make enough animals to hunt....

    Dont like this feature one bit and find it one of the most annoying ones.

    Also one more example you save in an area and you load and you suddenly aint in a safe loading area but there are like enemies around you

    seriously...

    At least you can play.  ☹️  

    Many of us are not so lucky.

  • Example 3: Fight your way through rapidly respawning enemies, clear general area, quicksave, die on next group. Game reloads and you load in, still at low health from last fight (which cleared the area as of the save), and are now completely surrounded by mobs that magically respawned with the reload and immediately aggro as soon as you load in, pushing your sh*t in. Save lost. GG, reload sometime earlier. Hope it was recent.

    Also, how many bears are there exactly? I am pretty sure I have seen or killed more than exist in the entire state of WI.

    Well that was a random necropost.  I do remember the Hill of Infinite Bears quite vividly, I never did check if this was tweaked in a later patch. 

  • Ow come on. I came from Google to this post and i answered it. I think it would be more stupid to open a new thread of the same issue.
    And yeah, the crazy respawn is still a thing.

    Oh It's fine, we do sometimes get problem necroposts that we remove, but this one is ok. 

    I didn't mean to give a negative impression, I just never really expected such an old thread to become active again 🙂
