I'm probably going to sound like VampLena with this, but I can't see how you guys find normal/hard mode too easy, especially at the end.
The final fight kicks your butt regardless of what difficulty you're on, I've noticed. Is that too easy? Should they all one shot you regardless of your level?
Yes, the final fight is hard no matter what level you're at. I was level 36 or 37 when I went in and found that pretty tricky. But the problem is that if you explore a lot and do as much as you can, for a long time, everything UNTIL the final fight is too easy, including the arena fights right before the final fight.
And with regular fighting/"boss" fights, those are too easy? Do you really think it would be fun to run into a group of two enemies and die a hundred times until you find the perfect strategy to beat them, then repeat those steps on each and every other enemy spawn in the game? Dunno about you all, but that doesn't sound fun to me.
The problem is that in Ego Draconis, the difficulty of the combat varies a HUGE amount depending on the difference between your level and the enemy level. Enemies 4 levels or more above are very hard and dangerous. Enemies plus or minus 3 levels of you level are challenging, and enemies 4 levels or more below your level are totally non-threatening.
I would be happy if the damage enemies can do do you is capped at the damage they do for enemies 2-3 levels below the player level. But enemies 4 levels below the player level do scratch damage, and 5 levels below do no damage at all.
