I'm sure it can be done well. I just don't trust Larian to do very much well these days. I like to scout things out, decide that something is too difficult right now and either come back later or do research on whatever it is I'm fighting so I get an edge. If everything scales with your level, the former doesn't really work.
That is you opinion, in mine they are doing a very good job, and since it is only like what 4 months in alpha, they have room to fine tune issues. It is way to early to state that Larian is just doing a terrible job. Maybe if things haven't been addressed in like 6 months I may start to change my opinion. But overall, I am very happy with the direction of the game besides some little issues with mechanics.
