From Dave:

"It isn't realistic to balance the arena (an early scene) with a minigun weilding troll, imho. I haven't seen the equipment lists (I know they're Dragonfalls, but dunno how/where they're implemented.

It may just be a matter of pulling out some of the early tier gear until you escape the caryard. While it's possible to grind up to couple hundred karma there, it shouldn't be balanced expecting you to do so.

Enemy scaling does not exist in this mod (yet? Possible ever?) Neither does crew scaling.

Do certainly appreciate the suggestions/playthru notes though. (I suspect this post will sound very critical, but it really isn't.).

Might I suggest creating a thread for your suggestions? They're easier to track & respond to that way."

1. I'm referring to the last 2 two enemies in the arena, not the earlier ones. The troll decker in the SNES is nearly impossible to defeat unless you have the assault rifle that you can only get after defeating Jester Spirit. In this version, I can defeat this troll decker with just a rifle that I buy from the Old Town Shop.

2. I've did some grinding by entering all rooms with enemies and make sure to have enough karma before entering the caryards. My point here is did you want player to grind like hell just to pass the heavy dudes? how about those who enter the caryards without proper preparation. I think it's better to nerf the dudes but buff the other enemies. make sure the player at least can leave the caryards without having difficult times. (only need to pass the dudes)

3. I don't understand this part.
