You have a different opinion of this issue than I do.
It is not an opinion; 'easy' is a relative term, and there is usually at least an implied baseline or comparison to something else. Pick anything that you find easy, and give it to a 2 year old to do; they probably will not consider it easy.
Game developers need to balance the game to make it challenging enough to be fun but not so difficult that it becomes too frustrating. Different difficulty levels can help the player adjust the balance for their particular tastes, but can not please everyone. Personally I find nightmare difficulty too easy in DKS, but at least in that case it is possible to handicap your character to keep things challenging. There are lots of twitch based games I find too hard, but I am outside the target demographic, and I'd hardly expect the developers to make an easy mode that would be easy for someone who just doesn't like twitch based games.
In the gaming world there are demos for some games (including D2:ED and DKS), where you can check them out before buying, and see if the difficulty and design match what you look for in a game. In the consumer world, there are all kinds of products advertised as being easy/easier to use, but depending on the retailer you may be hard pressed to get a refund claiming they are not easy to use.
Anyway, hopefully someone will help with the save and get you near the end of the escort, or someone who has use a trainer for DKS can assist (a new topic on that subject, minus the repeated replies, could help).
