So just need a higher level. Seems like I'm seeing that alot, even I have given that advice

.
Unfortunately in that game there isn't much more exp to exploit I screwed up in doing quests then creatures on that one. The only area with people left is beyond my ability

. I'm all for not holding the player's hand but this is rediculous. Just because I chose to do things differently than designer planned or missed a few side quests, I got screwed on much needed exp. On easy this shouldn't matter as much, I shouldn't have to scour every inch of the map just to survive the next area. Yes on hard I can see this, I guess now that I know how to cheat the system I'll be much higher level next time round but still...
What is the real difference between easy and hard, just some auto homing? Do you get more/less exp? I'll have to try it on hard sometime. Maybe the slider is broken as I had it reset on me a few times...
