After playing about 60 hours, I completely disagree that it is too hard or even that the enemies are sword/spells sponges. I actually found it pretty balanced, even quite easy at times. Maybe people were not used to the gameplay or something, but the difficulty level is pretty fair.

It really kills tactics because a lot of fight boil down to who has better gear, not better tactics. That awesome gold item I just got 1 level ago is already obsolete 2 levels later...

I even feel bad for my companion as my char is Geomancer that does tossees those boulders at everyone for 3k damage and 4,5k crit. Even more if I manage to stay high ground. Is that difficult? I did nothing cheaty. Just stucked geo and intellect. That is a point where I lost interest, unfortunately. Last edited by Skellor; 23/09/17 04:14 PM.

It is still pretty OP with just one player at 2nd half of the game.
