I'm finding even easy mode to be troublesome at times; although approaching it using the "maybe come back later" thing I did with D:OS seems to have averted much of the aggravation.
I still rate Ego Draconis as one of the hardest games I've played and it was only after reading a fairly thorough guide to character progression, armour and other stuff that I felt I was comfortable with it. I'm aware I'm not the only one, and indeed DKS actually eased off the difficulty quite a lot!
