As I've said in other threads: The game is too hard if you're trying to play it like DnD.
It's too easy if you treat it as the poorly balanced farce of a tactical game that it is. Exploit freezing blood, burning grease, hiding and disengaging as universal bonus actions, and so forth and you can trivialize every encounter I've seen in the first 6 hours.
Yeah, maybe it's because I've played DOS games before, but the game seems very easy so far. Some of the fights Swen died on in the demo I've been breezing through. I've been wandering into other fights that I guess are supposed to overwhelm you and I just kinda blow people up. I could see how it would be difficult though if you don't abuse cantrips and terrain effects (which I hate and think are bullshit and don't belong in this game).
