Nothing wrong with easy mode, it's not an insult. Rofl people these days get salty over nothing.
Quite. I generally play the Divinity games on "easy" though I have to say that Larian's idea of easy seems to be my experience of regular difficulty elsewhere. Anyway, yeah, I have my own approach to RPGs and don't really care that my combat and tactics aren't especially awesome: they're not the be all and end all...
