I really, really, really hope that's not true. If you felt like it, you could just walk through the entire map early in the game and never be challenged ever again. That's stupid.

Talk about catering to the audience who don't want a challenge. I want to feel accomplished for finally being able to beat [tough monster]! >=( Sick of this "you can beat everyone the moment you first see them" bullcrap. There is no sense of achievement in these games anymore.
