A lot of enemies in RPGs are just graphical. Health and damage go up to increase difficulty, occasionally they cast spells, but the most interesting combat in Morrowind is what, the vampires might curse you? the solstheim guys have spell-reflect?
I think about how in Dead Cells each enemy presents a unique threat that can still get you even if you know it. What are some RPGs that have that for every enemy?
