A lot of complaints have cropped up, about how easy the encounters in the game are (with the exception of a few) even on hardcore difficulty.

 

I personally think the game would benefit if down the line the hardcore difficulty got adjusted to make it truly worthy of its name. I certainly would re-play it  as I think that there is a lot of promise in the game's systems that never really gets explored.

I made an account just to say that I agree with this 1000%.

 

The combat is fun but so much of its depth is undermined by how grossly overpowered the PC becomes very quickly.  Status effects are particularly broken.  I'm sure I missed out on some of the hilarious enemy attacks because they couldn't live long enough to pull them off.

 

Hardcore should live up to its namesake.
