do enemies scale with us?

no matter what weapon i equip, no matter how much i put into pure dmg, i can never one shot enemies with normal hits, they are always left with 1 hp. sprint heavy attacks, or attacks with buffs can one shot them, tho.

No, enemies have "fixed" level/stats as far as I can tell. I could easily one-shot umbral early or after upgrading my weapon but you will immediately know you have arrived at higher level area when basic enemies suddenly take extra hit.

However, I feel that the game difficulty outpace player's damage increase at late game where I have +10 weapon, damage stat at soft cap and I need 3 hits to kill fodder enemies (2 if I use weapon buff).

No enemy scaling in the game. But the game becomes harder with each new location you visit, enemies will have more hp and deal more damage. taht's how it's always been in this type of games.

The difficulty curve in this game is the other way around, at first it is very difficult, until you reach the fire zone and overcome it, there you already have certain items and weapons that with a well-made build you can kill everything with 1 shot, boss included

i upgrade a weapon i do like 550 dmg with, the enemy ends up with 1 HP, then i upgrade the weapon and i do 560 dmg and the SAME enemy, in the SAME area is still alive with 1hp. feels like this in every area i go.

i kill everything in one hit. 40 srt 40 rad and using that bad ass buster sword. doing 1300 on a charged attack and using the eye that lets me not get staggered out of my charge. i have beat every boss super easy. the bosses are a joke.
