User blog:Artirtico/3 Star Bestiary Knowledge

My Pawn finally got her first 3 Star the other day HOOOORRAAAAHHHHH! Just had to let that out haha. It may only have been for Bandits, but for so long I've been trying to get one of these, so to see that third Star pop up made my day!

So getting that third Star for Bestiary seems to be pretty damn tricky to get; I didn't get any in my first playthrough and it must be around 80 hours into my current one before getting this first one (although I've seen much lower level Pawns than mine with multiple 3 Stars, so perhaps I'm just incompetent xD). What sort of makes it worse is how easy it seems 2 Stars is to get; every enemy regularly encountered (pre-Griffin's Bane) I have 2 Stars for. It's gotta take only a couple of 'tactics' per enemy to pick up Star number 2, but number 3 must comprise of some vast 'checklist' of strategies, all of which needing to be ticked off. So many times I've heard "I've learned of Beasts", yet it still remains on 2 Stars, still another piece of Knowledge required for number 3.

So what do you think of the Bestiary Knowledge system? How successful have you been with it? Are those third Stars too hard? (or too easy?) Is it something that adds to the gaming experience overall?

Personally I'm really liking it, and have been progressively paying it more attention the more I play. It just adds that extra dimension in having to try to take out enemies in such a huge variety of ways, instead of sticking to the simple (but effective) 'Tenfold/Dragons Maw/Bollide/or whatever' everything to death. But what about you?
