Switching difficulty while playing

[Voodoo]

Hello all,

 

My current playthrough is slowly nearing its end - I have to do the majority of WM2 main quest, Sun in Shadows of the original campaign, plus Siege of Cragholdt and Battle of Yenwood. However, I already spent 40+ hours and my free time is shrinking, so I want to finish the game as soon as possible due to other stuff I have to do later (but no cheating). Not that I have major issues with current party and build, it's just that battles now take too much time and honestly all the micromanagement became very cumbersome due to retarded AI.

 

The question: If I now change the difficulty to "Story mode", it only affects the maps I haven't visited yet?

I should have just tried to do it, the game clearly tells me that it will take effect only on maps not visited yet

This can be closed, sorry.

Note that if you change the difficulty back from story mode to any other, you may get the bug where NPC's are injured.
