This game seems to have much more magic than the previous one. In fact, the first Act of D:OS 1 was fighting against undead, who were almost entirely melee-based, but if the first part of the game had featured tons of magic opponents, it would have been much harder, because your characters were so weak at that point in the game.
In my first few hours with D:OS 2, it seems like almost 100% of my opponents have been magic-based. For example, I just lost a fight because as soon as it started, a two-handed sword enemy used Boulder Bash on all four of my characters, then an archer threw a fireball and exploded it, killing all but one of my characters. None of these enemies were mages, by the way.
I clearly need to be pumping at least 50% of my skill points into Magic Armor, because I can't even remember the last time I got hit by an arrow or a sword. Enemies create sooo many environmental surfaces now, it's absolutely insane!
