Enhanced Edition - The new MinMax builds?There should be a couple other similar topics in the EE forum.
Are you having difficulty before getting to Cyseal, or after? If after, explore around town before leaving, pick up a couple companions, do some quests and explore for experience points, etc. There are clues to which area is best to start with, both in the nature of the gates (an open gate leads to an area less dangerous than gates that you need to ask a guard to open; more dangerous areas may have extra barricades outside the closed gate) and in dialogue from certain NPCs.
