You are not alone in thinking the game is too easy. [...]
If you can actually stand a chance with just one character, without cheesing fights, on hard, and with a mod making it harder, there's obviously something wrong with the game.

I already have begun planning a new game. Here is as far as I've gotten for a great idea...
[...]
Between this, my RP arbitrary rule of no stealing, and the continued need to shop for combat-effective Scrolls, I should have a proper gold sink as I head continue from level 10-20. Level 10-20 is basically where we would prefer adjustments, right?
To Windspin and Trancid :
You are both right.
We can try to find a way to make a challenge. By not using some skills, not putting armors... by not playing all the nice possibilities the game offers.
But I want to play this game with all its features. And trying to find a way to make it hard while there is obviously a problem in difficulty in the levels 10-20 annoys me.
I expect that developing an AI for this kind of turn-based combat is pretty damn difficult. Or in the least, it would take as much development man-hours as the rest of the game put together.
[...]
I don't request a strong AI. I just request it to not make stupid moves. I think that putting some orders like : "focus the character who has the less HP"; "don't attack with elemental effects someone who has +100% res in this elemental effect"... wouldn't request so much time.
And don't forget the "don't run in fire, or in and out opportunity attacks range".
And even without working in the AI, buffing the mobs may do the trick.
In every forum I've checked, people who have played this game in hard setting from the beginning complain about it being too easy in its second part.
And as I said before, without challenge in fights, the second part gets boring.
So Larian, or anyone who heard about this :
Is balancing the game in the second part, and/or increasing fights' difficulty in the hardest setting, something you plan to do soon?
