I needed to create an account for this... Just to clarify for Larian that not everybody feels that the only viable option to make any kind of progress is to bang ones head against a wall.
It is still not challenging (yet, atleast). I am only level 5 (still hopefull that something will take me by surprise).
Sure, skills and items are not by any means easy to come by. But we are prisoners breaking free, not billionaires taking a stroll through a shopping mall. Epic weapons should not be easy to come by this early on. Anyways, this is not an issue. Just pick up everything you find and push bartering on one of your characters. Ta-da!
Personally I feel that both enemies damage and health-pool is a bit low. Id like a bit more insanity. I actually want to bang my head against a wall, to be honest.
Ive only suffered one lethal blow and it was when my group entered the arena because of stupid misplacement of characters. Otherwise its been quite dull.
I do agree that certain surfaces can be viewed as rather stupid, this should be looked into.
I might just need Tactical mode to cheer up.

You are a prisoners , but this isn't supposed to be a punishment. The magisters don't care how heavily armed you are as evidenced by Griffs gang, and the heavily armed and equipped lizard in the cave. The only thing they care about is making sure prisoners stay in fort joy until they can be brought in to be "cured". You aren't there because you are a criminal, or are a danger to society on a personal level, but because you have access to source.
