Hi

I'm lucky enough to have just discovered this game half way through November after all these patches have been applied, but am not sure if i should be playing on hard difficulty or normal.

I am at the begining of the game and have just entered the first town (Cyseal i think), but along the way i have had maybe 3 little fights in which i was only hit once for about 15% dmg.

Firstly, can i change from normal to hard mid playing? Also, should i?

I like to be challenged but don't like fighting impossible odds and all i have experienced so far are easy kills.

All i can find about this on forums goes back to July when most people say the game is difficult so stick to normal but i am assuming they have changed the game a lot over the many months? So perhaps it is easier now?

What i am asking is, if i swap to hard after my few ours of gameplay, will it become stupidly difficult or do i have a chance?

Bare in mind i have played these types of games before and i enjoy the tactical thinking they encourage.

Many thanks
