Question about important choices

[lily40k]

I assume that the missions do not repeat themselves if you choose different, since the path is different, just in case : my goal is to not do a bunch of play troughs just to see whats in the game.

I'm comfortably beating the hardcore difficulty (havent tried pure insanity yet).
I've chosent to stay loyal to the king and now i'm going after raidint tombs.

The question is, in your opinion which paths are hard/eazy, since this is the first playtrough i kinda want to do relatively easy ones first, then go back and choose different and do those on higher difficulties.

For example the game kinda gave it up that joining rebels is going to be rough, so i assume its going to be the hardest path? What about the princess? looting tooms vs ransom whats the difficulty difference there.

Basically i want to avoid beathing the hardest stuff first and then feeling not challenged on other paths...

A few of the missions use the map, but have different goals. And a few of the maps have the same goals, on the same map, but different conditions. The cutscenes are different, they aren't the same.

I've done all the story branches, for reference.
