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).
"Game developers need to balance the game to make it challenging enough to be fun but not so difficult that it becomes too frustrating."
There is no balance in this game
If I can play all the way through until the final scenario and cannot play the finale because it is impossible that is not balanced.
In point of fact that is a perfect example of a fraud (swindle)
The very same as if I hired some men to fix my roof and they came and worked hard and decided to take off with the money two days before critical work was completed.
Thats fraud...It is duping people,swindling..the same as this game is doing
In this case it is misrepresentation
"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."
Easy is very, very much more than a relative term.
It is well defined in the dictionary:
Definition of EASY
1a : causing or involving little difficulty or discomfort <within easy reach> b : requiring or indicating little effort, thought, or reflection <easy clichés>
2a : not severe : lenient <hopes they'll be easy on him> b : not steep or abrupt <easy slopes> c : not difficult to endure or undergo <an easy penalty> d : readily taken advantage of <an easy target for takeovers> <an easy mark for con men> e (1) : readily available <easy pickings> (2) : plentiful in supply at low or declining interest rates <easy money> (3) : less in demand and usually lower in price <bonds were easier>
Everything this game is not

Game Demos (No matter which one you choose) are not going to expose you, the player, to the ending finale)
They would not dream of doing that.
Why? Because they would instantly lose twenty percent of their potential buying clientele
Homestly,Do you think I am the only person that voices these complaints?
Absolutely not.
There are many, many people that would simply walk away from this game if they knew how difficult the ending was going to be
