    Thanks for these details. Does it have an easy mode though? I’m too old to be grinding or trying over and over again.

      It does!

      But the difficulty is also very fair. I’m going through tactician (the hardest difficulty) on my first playthrough, and enemies don’t have inflated health or anything - they just play smarter. There’s also no grinding in the game.

        Oh really? I should move to Tactician then. I hate games that just cheat to make it harder. But better tactics is quite interesting.

          As someone who has played through OS 1/2 on Tactician, so far (mid A2) this is the easiest Tactician has been in a Larian game.

          It’s very accessible without forcing builds or cheese, but the difficulty is definitely there.

      That’s a very fair question that should be asked sadly. I saw Elden Ring trailers and wanted to buy because I love RPGs. Got it and then found out the only difficulty it has it’s very extreme and I don’t even have patience to pass the beginning.

      If there’s no gimmicks, just a fun well made RPG game I’ll consider.

        Yup. Same here. Glad not too many developers are like that and give us difficulty options. Looking forward to trying this out once reviews are out.
