I played the original edition through once, on normal mode, after starting over twice. By the end of that playthrough most fights went like... buff the rogue, use the rogue to cc or kill 2-4 mobs each turn while my other characters held aggro and cc'ed the rest. It was way too easy and yeah for me, it was more and more easy as the story played out.

So when EE was released I am playing through again on Tactical mode and so far the hardest time I had was getting from the boat landing spot to Cyseal >.< The fights aren't as mindless so far but I'm starting to think that I'll once again be kind of bored with the combat more and more as the game goes on. The sparkmaster5000 was a fun fight that took a few tries, but I just crushed the source abomination... I am really surprised how easy that fight was, I'm not sure if the oil and poison traps are supposed to make it harder for you to escape, or easier to kill the abom, either way it was a pretty big disappointment. On the first edition the abom was my favorite fight, it ended with my rogue kiting/killing and Jahan tanking around 9 crabs... that sh*t was fun :)

anyways, is there an encounter after the void dragon in EE? If not, how on earth did you kill it in 2 turns??? was it nerfed that hard? I found it pretty easy too on my first playthrough, but it took me a lot more than 2 turns.
