Eh ... no. :-/
I cant agree with sentence that contradits itself in my eyes. :-(
There is no "feel like big GD hero" (whatever that means) without challenge ... not for me. :-/
Also, im not aware that anybody attacked someone. O_o
Listen, there's a difference between challenge and "A fight you are not expecting that you absolutely cannot win unless you prepare ahead of it which you can't because in character you don't know it is coming." Sure if you have all the perfect spells prepped and you prepare your party just so that that everything is just right and you've got through the underdark to pick up the adamantine armor then yes, sure, maybe you can win. But not when you are level two and a character you have at least some reason to trust tells you you MUST go there only to die. That's not fun. That's not good gameplay, and y'know what? if that happened in a real TTRPG I'm betting all the players would walk away from the table.
And I didn't mean attack attack, but a lot of people have been pretty . . . shall we say aggressive with their retorts. "You shouldn't listen to Lae'Zel and if you do it's your own damn fault'' with the implication that you are stupid if you listen to her is . . . let's just say a tad on the aggressive side.
