I just finished my first run-through of the early release. I found the battles either SUPER easy or CRAZY tough. In the tough ones, it often seemed the only solution was to find the highest spot in the area so you could actually hit things with your bow (I chose a Ranger to fill out the characters classes available). I'm not sure of the solution to this issue, but I would like a little more balance or more clever ways to win these battles.

Just my 2 coppers.
