What difficulty do you intend to play in?

I'm downloading the game right now, and reading the changelog, however I don't think I'll play before tomorrow.

I'm not a native english speaker, and I prefer communication through ingame text.

I'd like to play at the hardest difficulty setting if possible, but I don't know what that means yet for the companions (I didn't use them in my games, as I preferred 2 chars with lone wolf / glass cannon).
