The only really unique thing is the mechanic with Riven's Eyes, which is admittedly pretty neat, but the entire rest of the encounter is lackluster. Actual combat skill and gunplay barely factors into the encounter at all.

Heh - I was gonna argue with this... but thinking back on last night, the VAST majority of our fails came from being in the wrong place to cleanse ("No, not that one, a little higher up the stairs- never mind, I've got the res") or missing eye shots. (I guess getting pushed by Ogres counts as combat skills deaths; we should have cleared them before shooting.)

The process isn't unique, it's just precise, and very long - mistakes compound, and the need for perfection becomes tedious. I can see why LFG groups ONLY do the cheese.
