Melee groups was torture for me coz they spammed rush attack and whirlwind 2-4 times each in row which almost killed my char and my sanity lol. I think i made this game too hard for myself because i played PURE melee which forced me to run into crowds.
Some random encounters were terribly hard. In orobas fjords after meeting dragon in the waterfall damien brings some strong warriors in which allways mopped floor with me even though enemies in the waterfall cave were easy. Probably hardest human part for me weer besides flying fortresses was those ¨ex slayers¨ at the ruins where people worshipped dragon knights.
I do like the game A LOT if i didn't i wouldn't have started it TWICE. Both times i did every quests and tried to make my armours weapons as strong as possible but still there were frustratingly hard parts. Everything in this game is suberb execpt difficulty. I find this game better than most AAA titles.
I'm quite stubborn in swapping difficulty in middle of the game because this is rpg and i believe it kinda ruins feel of character progression to swap it to easy-nighmare all the time.
