Agreed, AI pathing and AI combat mechanics need a tweaking.
That said, given I primarily solo lone character this game, like 600+ hours worth of solo 'lonewolf' one created character play, I find it somewhat befuddling, if not amusing, that some would insist on saying that the difficulty of this game is a bit high, no offense. It's just EA Act 1 and if its difficulty seems a bit high, boy oh boy, wait for Act 2 and Act 3, I am sure the wailing and gnashing of teeth on difficulty are going to be righteous.
