wich level of difficoulty is best?

[Mr.l]

There are 4 levels of difficoulty, wich one did you choose?

It is much more important to ask -- What exploration mode did you choose -- Regional or Adaptive? The difficulty can be changed during the game, you can add or remove the setting (advanced) "Hidden enemy moves" in each difficulty mode. But it is impossible to change the exploration mode if you have chosen it. I recommend all beginners to play only on ADAPTIVE. Because only on it, you can understand your mistakes. On Regional, you will not understand why you cannot properly arm your squad and have to hide from enemies behind the backs of bears.

It all depends on what YOU enjoy. As Mrak says, you can change the difficulty at any point in the game, and the survival and combat do not need to match.
Want to find resources easily but have tough fights? easy survival with extreme combat. Want to walk over most enemies but have to scrounge all over the map for one lousy comfrey to make medicine? go the other way.
Some like extreme/extreme ironman, others would rather go easy/easy infinite saves.

Easy/easy or normal/normal may be the best way to learn, and if you get bored, you can always up the difficulty.

Unlike Mrak, I enjoy region-locked- I like the progression of a new zone being a little too tough when I first get there, and being able to dance through after I've leveled out. Never had a bear on any team.
But I have played adaptive as well- both modes have their advantages. However, once you have picked one exploration mode, that's it for that team. If you don't like it, you can always start a new team.

Bottom line: it's your game. Try everything and then play the way YOU enjoy, not how someone else says you should. No one's watching and no one's judging.

Not "a little", but excessively difficult if you entered the wrong region (either unknowingly or intentionally). Excessively difficult if you fight in a new region with the Guardian, and think that "this is how it was intended, you just need to think about the moves" ;). And then you reduce the difficulty and continue the passage. You return to the first region for resources, and it cannot put anyone, by level, as opponents. It becomes boring - the player begins to look for other entertainment. The player finds it "impossibly difficult" at the beginning, and "too easy" in the middle of the passage. On Adaptive passage, the feeling; "a little too difficult", occurs when one of the companions increases the level, or when you accept a high-level animal into the squad. The process is smoother and more easily adjustable.

Veteran for first playthrough is pretty standart. And advanced leveling
