Unlocking Nightmare difficulty without beating the game | Forums

[Heinz0Fiction]

Hey folks,

i usually play games on the highest difficulty possible, which would be nightmare for fenyx rising. Sadly, the difficulty is locked until you beat the game. But i wont do a second playthrough, so i want to play on nightmare from the get go. Is there any way to unlock the nightmare difficulty without playing through the game first?

The only way it would happen is if the developers released a patch that includes the option to unlock Nightmare Difficulty from the start.

I'm not the person that plays this game on the highest difficulty (I play this game on one of the lowest to just enjoy the story and the scenery) but this is a very reasonable request. Locking this behind a playthrough is stupid.

Maybe devs think the game will be unplayable if you didn't touch it on normal levels. Most likely there would be New Game+ option so you won't need to start from the very beginning.

As far as I know Save Files on consoles are account locked

Maybe on PC it's different

I for one would like to be able to tweak individual settings rather than rely on presets.

I would also like to see a modifier for the amount of resources you get from completing activities or alternatively a modifier for upgrade costs to help those that want faster character progression and less grind.
