Ycore:
My savegame is version 1.45, maybe they boosted the level of Samuel's guards in this version?
Yeah, that's what I was thinking - so, I took my 1.45 partition, saved a 1.44 game into 1.45 (one Citadel level lower, just to make sure) - checked difficulty level and version - went up into the lair... lvl 12 DK.

Last try in my case is going to be "action" now => Still lvl 12, but game was easier than tactical, only needed 6 shot to kill a ranger DK.
Thought, there was a difference, the difficulty would kick in after saving and reloading => nope. I'm giving up now... my game is lvl 14 resistant <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />
[color:"yellow"]Ycore, are you still wearing the Citadel armour? If so, change to the best stuff you've got before entering Sammy's lair, ok? [/color]
Wait, I think I have the solution... did you visit the Battlefields a lot? IIRC, enemy level is adequate to own level - so, leveling up in BF causes the enemies in-game to be stronger <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> (I didn't, therefore my lvl 12 DK).
