Let me guess...
Pro tip #2: drink health potions, cast healing spells or rest to restore health. :M

Pardon me, but I assumed that this was just supposed to be funny and not taken literally? Or am I missing something important here?

It wasn't funny until we found out it was a failed joke that no-one got, and now we find him extremely funny! So he got us to laugh in the end :smug:

The dude in that video said "Golem's" wrong. He said Go Lems, basically losing any sense of poker-face other that it could be anything but a guy badly acting a very bad over the top accent. It reminds me of a children's TV presenter, the sort of 7-12 age range where cheesy-camp is the norm. Either that or it's just a tranny getting an equal opportunities payday.

Are they marketing the game at 7-12 year olds?

I can't believe they blew three fireballs on exploding unseen mobs even for a silly demo video. One. Maybe two if stuff is seriously going to wreck you. But three? I can't wrap my mind around it. So many wasted resources...

You missed the fact that more than a few rpg players/codex poster are borderline autists with no grasp of humor and a complete inability to not take someone at face value

Uh the combat isn't difficult. Just use ranged weapons on everyone at low level and marvel at how much more they hit enemies compared to taking a swing. Then as you actually begin to be able to cast useful spells besides sleep you can use some while still using missile weapons. Finally use a melee weapon at higher levels and laugh as the damage sky rockets for everyone but the mage who of course has some nifty spells that help things along.

It's a pretty good idea really, "funny" to get kids interested. I wonder if the advice only applies to the Enhanced Edition though...

Considering the current vector of "progress", I'd say we're 5 years from the point where ALL GAMES are accompanies by such "funny" videos.

Fortunately, with a little bit of luck, as entertainment progresses, 20 years from now we'll be able to vote on whether we like those videos or not, and if an actor gets poor ratings, we get to vote what to do with them. One of the options will be "let them fight to the death in an arena against mutated fire breathing crocodiles and flying orangutans" and this will improve the whole deplorable situation by at least some degree.
