I've played a lot of it as normal difficulty but got annoyed with how close to impossible some parts were and ended up switching to Easy, and since found things much more to my liking. Having said that, the area I'm in (let's just say single character looking for his lost friends and killing demons to get to a Sloth or someting) is now insanely easy and I've switched back to Normal again. I think they could have managed the difficulty for certain parts a little better, although I understand a new patch resolves this issue so there you go.

Really enjoy the game. Very much so - and yeah, the conversations that involve your dog are the best (assuming you're a Human Noble).
