Questions about Combat and PVE Dangers

[Manimal]

Me and my mate love survival games but we want them to have a challenge. At the moment we play return to moria on hard and we having a blast. Because we love exploring but also feel that is high stakes.
I know that the game got a combat update and they implemented armor and weaponry etc.
But how dangerous is the pve? are there raids from bandits? or maybe a local lord gives you a quest to kill bandits etc.
I dont ask for full scale warfare but for some action. Is this game for us?

No raids. The bandits have random spawn points (one or two fixed bases as well) but they stay at their camps and only attack when you come close.
The combat got improved with the last update, but it's not meant to be a combat-heavy game. You can make the enemies more challenging by increasing the health they have and damge they do, but you cannot adjust how many of them there are.

Challenges in this game are more tied to the management of your settlement, so if you need constant combat to be challenged, this is probably not the game for you.

The wolves are usually more of a problem than the bandits. Which is still not a huge problem either way.
Btw. you can set enemy health and damage in the settings, so you can definitely make it a lot harder, but the combat system isn't really very complex, so you might get frustrated.

Personally I wish the developers would include a TOGGLE option for enemy health bar! I REALLY liked not having it appear during combat...left a bit more mystery and suspense to the combat when I didn't know how many more hits they needed.
