If people want to cheat in a game, without it making an unbalanced game for others (And possible ruining their fun and immersion), why not use mods to do just this? I think there are already mods to make your character much stronger, or introduce items that give a big boost. It seems the optional "wanting to cheat" is exactly what mods should be used for if you want this, rather than just put it in the main game.
That is the best answer here. People can use mods if the want it easier.
Alpha is now at Normal. For full release include example also Easy, Hard and Nightmare difficulty example. Do not have broken things likes bugs make game easier.
For me Normal is to easy for me. I want at least Hard difficulty level to me.
