I really wonder whether I'm playing a different game, but why is everyone saying that this game is too difficult? So far I died twice: first was the 3 imps in the wilderness, because I missed Shadowheart and did it alone. 2nd try together with her was pretty easy. Second time was against the Goblin party at the windmill, because I didn't want to rest and entered the fight with like 20% of my HP. I did not min max anything so far. And I do not prepare the area (blocking paths with chests etc) nor did I use the environment to my advantage so far. I mean, even if they down one of your characters it takes one simply turn to have them back in the fight again. That's a lot easier than other games. I think the game's difficulty is on a decent level and I hope for some tougher boss fights.

Regarding the dice rolls: I failed a lot the above mentioned rolls (got poisoned by the Druid for example) and just accepted it and played on.
