I didn't level up magic... I only leveled up military skills, and I fought the guards with a sword and spear (I took it from someone in a cave)...
I don't remember the difficulty... because I didn't change it... what's the default?

The default difficulty is definitely not hard... and not even normal... most likely it's easy.

Well, I don't know why your warrior turned out to be weak...
I didn't have any problems...

Maybe that's why my warrior was weak, because I was playing on hard difficulty?

ehhhhhhh... it's been a while since I played.
Great game, used to play it online. I maxed out all the skills for my character (online). I played as a Warrior (axe). I killed everyone, from the starting cannibals to the cyclops (did none of you kill him? I mean the one in the Hypate). The tactic against tough enemies is this: position yourself behind the enemy, save, and attack from behind. If you don't manage to kill him on the first try or hit successfully, load the game and try again. If you manage to hit successfully, you can save.
I didn't like the expansion, the ending was completely stupid. Instead of becoming a villain (with that face at the end), he went looking

The tactic against hard-to-kill ones is as follows: conveniently position yourself behind the enemy's back, save, and strike from behind. If it doesn't work to kill them on the first try or land a lucky hit (in case of a lucky hit, you can save), then reload the game and start over.

Well, of course I did the same; without this, completing the game is VERY difficult
I also did this: (if there are many enemies and they are all strong)
using a spell (I don't remember the name, but when you click on an area, enemies run to that spot), I lure a monster closer to me and away from its comrades. When it is close enough, I stop casting and it turns around to go back. And then: we approach from behind (aiming for the head) and save. A miss means reloading. But if you hit, no one will even notice

If you are playing through the game for the first time, only hard difficulty is available. As for what comes next by default, I don't remember. But even when leveling up spear and melee combat, considering agility, your attack ends up being no more than 121. And an Imperial on hard has defense, if I recall correctly, of 140. It's possible to kill them, but with very long save-scumming. However, with acid fog, it will be easy and without reloads.

Even on hard, spiders are easily taken down by a warrior in a fair fight; most likely you missed some leveling somewhere.

Even on hard difficulty, spiders are easily defeated by a Warrior in a fair fight; you probably didn't level up properly somewhere.

That can't be. I put almost all my skill points into the sword (and skills), and he still couldn't hit. And during the playthrough, I killed almost everyone.

Melee combat at level 95 and a meteor spear to the head (level up the spear, not the sword) – the spider has no chance. And if you remember small tricks like weakening with the spear, wands with healing, etc., the poor arthropod has nothing left to do but meekly await its fate and write complaints to Green Peace.

Generally speaking, the sword is a good item there; I completed the whole game with it... Also, I remember not liking the design for the leg armor on the Suslanger; I made greaves from a design found on Inos... But it broke in the cave where you have to defeat a lot of enemies... I laughed for a long time: a big battle starts, I kill everyone, but for some reason, I'm without pants. I even started to doubt: what did they do to me?
But overall, I think it's not worth distributing points too much between different skill branches, like melee combat, ranged combat, and magic at the same time... I focused on melee combat... Only in the third city, with the fighters in the meteorite and with the spear, were there difficulties... But I somehow managed.
By the way, maybe it's just my computer being slow, but here's a question: did anyone else have trouble with the last monster? It seems to be called "Curse."
By the way, Ataman, just to remind you, that spell is called "Fireworks."
Yes, the game is great, but I think the first two parts of the "Allods" series were even better... And "Lost in Astral" is just... well, let's just say it's not very good. (I'd say something harsher, but I'm afraid of the moderators=))
With such possibilities, to ruin the game like that... to make such a boring plot... such stupid lines in dialogues and on the map... There was something like: "Knights dripped, dripped, knights dripped, drip, drip!" and after that, there's the laughter of an idiot... But the most important thing is the face of the main character... I won't even comment on it.

By the way, maybe it was just my computer acting up, but I have a question: did anyone else have trouble with the last monster? Seems like it's the "Curse" monster.

No, I didn't have any trouble. I was even surprised that they made it so weak. It's very easy to kill; you just need to cast the "Curse" spell on it.

The graphics are so-so, but overall, I enjoyed it. I played exclusively as a Warrior – I didn’t really get around to magic. The weakening, healing, and strengthening spells that I put into my weapon and armor were all I needed throughout the game. I really liked the Backstab skill (although, on a higher difficulty level, it was a bit problematic). The plot is quite interesting, but I didn’t like the ending – the free Diamond Armor felt unnecessary. I healed and improved the old man, and I tried to suppress the Curse in every way – that was my entire participation in the finale:(

But overall, it’s an interesting game that’s quite addictive. If you haven’t played it yet, I recommend it!

Yeah, there was something you had to insert into the blueprints... some kind of enhancement, regeneration... the game is really great, anyone who hasn't played this series has missed out. And it's better to play as a Warrior (although I always play as him) simply because the magic is kind of weak, and the only useful spells are healing and fireworks...

You definitely had to insert something into the blueprints... enhancements, regeneration, and so on... The game is really great; anyone who hasn't played this series has missed out on a lot. And it's better to play as a Warrior (although I always play as one) simply because the magic is a bit weak...

Combat magic is only weak at the beginning. If you upgrade it well and insert runes into the spell, then Poison Cloud becomes very powerful.

... the only useful spells are healing and fireworks...

And also curse, blessing (or something like that), teleportation, poison cloud, paralysis.

Yes, you are right about the curse and blessing... I forgot about them. But I wouldn't spend money on anything else, because it's quite expensive, and you can manage without it...

I can't understand... where did you find the curse in the Pit? Or does everyone have a version other than 1.06? I don't understand anything... The Pit is still a great game, I still play it, although not as often. And the best thing is to develop a warrior-mage - with a sword and lightning up his sleeve). Regarding what was said above - if you play as a warrior, all that "heap" of money spent on spells at the end of the game becomes useless baggage. And in general, I advise you to play the EI mod online. People are still playing it.

Yes, there is a curse spell. I can’t remember exactly where I used it, but I do remember using it on the last monster, casting the curse with the help of a mage… That creature died much faster.
