Level Difficulty

[Chronic Logic - Josiah]

What do you think about the difficulty of level 1, 2, 3, and 4, please explain for each separately:

This game is hard. That is a good thing though. I get pwnt megastyle on normal difficulty. I am teh n00b. http://pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>

It is hard, but it feels just right.  On the other hand, I played an alpha a while ago, so I already knew how to play, so I'm not sure if my feedback here is worth much.  I remember thinking the alpha was too hard, I couldn't pass the first wave of the first level for a while, but I'm sure things have changed since then.  (The reason that I couldn't pass it is that I didn't really know how to use the special abilities very well yet).

The game is pretty hard. I can't play on normal difficulty at all, but I suppose I just need practice.

To me the easy setting seems like normal, and normal seems hard. Maybe change the settings up a little and make four levels instead of three?

I'm finding the game very difficult.  I am playing on easy and I haven't gotten past the second level yet http://pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>  I haven't even bothered to try the other levels yet.

Easy seems pretty easy up until I get to the giant flaming bear.
Normal seems pretty challenging.

Will post more later.

Good balance of toughness. This isn't the type of game i expect to "win". It is more or less a tactical sim trainer for me, so i'd be happy playing one feeble swordsman against the huge dragon 1000 times just to mull over the many differnet approaches and plans of attack.
The Wife however reports back to me that the normal difficulty level is a bit too hard core for her( serious casual gamer with a passion for Baldur's Gate), She loves the game in easy mode.
I guess this is why we have the choise. ;]
I'll try the hardest level of difficulty a bit tonight.

I think you will find in the new build (130+) the easy mode will be a bit easier and hard mode will be a bit harder.  We changed the way it works.
