No - the game has not been overly difficult to this point and I suspect that my party is under-powered. The comment on loot is more of a psychological thing; kind of 'exciting' to defeat that really hard critter and then anti-climatic to get really bad loot and find the good loot in the stores. In some sense it is a petty thing but it is prevalent in the last 1/2 of the game which makes me suspect it is a by-product of a not well designed system. I don't mean that to be quite so affront as it could be taken but of all the divinity games I've played this is the first one where it has actually had quite a negative experience.

[correction; the combat has not been overly difficult - there has been quite a few puzzles i've resorted to web searching - though quite a few i got on my own - i figured out cassandra on my own but resorted to the web when I only found 3 buttons and coudln't open the door - i managed to open the altar on my own but resorted to the web when I coudln't handle the trol statue - i did the four weights on my own but used the web for the mirror (totally missed the hidden one).
