I recently started to play honour mode and on the contrary , i found it too easy. Well, first time i died at the first fight, second at lvl 4 to a trap, then i started to play carefully. If you plan your fights and choose the spot where you want to do it instead of rushing head on , there should be no problem.
Quite soon you start fighting mobs under level and the game gets too easy, which is a bit of a problem, at lvl 16 i was getting bored already , didn't use almost any scroll, food or special arrow, crafting was only to get some quick cash.
Then i died in the north of Luculla forest to some immaculate who summoned an arcane vortex that teleported three of my chars into lava in the same turn... That was shocking but rather funny and i have to admit i could avoid it, after seeing the aeromage doing it once, i could flee and rethink my strat.
All in all, it would be nice if we got fewer xp from fights so that the game doesn't become a stroll , fights are awesome and full of adrenaline if you meet mobs of the same lvl or one level upper than you. That being said i restarted with a lone wolf in order to increase severity, but surprisingly i am at lvl 9 and again the game feels too easy.
