Have they made the game easier?

I played through the game about 2-3 months ago and some fights were pretty hard but now on the same difficulty it seems much easier.

Maybe you just got better?

For example this is my first ever turn-based game, no prior knowledge of DnD, so I first started on story mode and it wasn't easy for me. I got recked by the initial fight on the beach with the intellect devourers and I almost gave up with the hyena/Gnoll fight. I hardly got through Act1 and 2 and stopped due to IRL stuff. I then decided to start again on balanced and found it actually easier. I finished that playthrough and now on tactician it feels about the same difficulty.

No, you just got better. The game was never hard to begin with; the main challenge is learning what options you have in combat. Clearly you have overcome that hurdle.

its never been hard at all, this game is a complete pushover even on honour mode tbh. The only fights that are dangerous are the ones where you get ambushed and are surprised, and if you take the alert feat this is a non issue

I dont feel like I am playing any different.

Well if you played on patch 1.0 and your on story mode? They actually did make story mode easier! They beefed up character party by 50% and a few other things like I believe toning down the AI a bit on how much they use or how ruthlessly.

If on normal or tactician, it should be roughly the same, and if for some reason your on honor mode? They took away some features they left in other modes thay are technically bugs, but they decided it was okay to leave in for non honor modes.

Probably you got better. The game isn't too hard, either, I started at "normal" level and after 2 or 3 battles I decided to go tactician, and this is my first run.

Maybe my group is just better. I just have 3 eldritch fighters one multiclass cleric one sorc with a and a barbarian. Seems kinda OP.

Fighters are very stronk that is highly likely, sometimes what makes the group is a solid set of classes 👌

The dice roll has become your friend.

Feels like it. Balanced difficulty feels just as easy as Tactician, but maybe that's just mob AI
