Difficulty modes? Too easy/hard?

[Lil PeePee]

Anyone know from watching gameplay vids?

No difficulty, its just an interactive episode.

in the day 1 patch there is a mention of difficulty levels. So i would assume there is different difficulties.

Well my concerns that A. it's too easy and B. it's a buggy PoS have been allayed. Obsidian buggy was expected after all.

but it is too easy - Im playing on Hardcore and cant seem to die - unless I play stupidly on purpose

You can change difficulty in the options. It doesn't ask you at the start so its not obvious. On normal the game is pretty easy. Well blocking seems to reduce damage to something like 10-20%, and prevents debuffs. So if you block its cheese, if you don't you might die. There are potions and ultra moves that make it pretty easy. I died 2 times so far because i was stingy on potions for no good reason.
The RPG/mechanics of the game are more casual, the mechanics are good, but its not a hardcore min/max RPG game. Damage increases exponentially so you have to pay some attention, and modding weapons/gear makes a big difference. I try to max out gear and regular encounters are often won without enemies getting more then 1 attack in. Due to out of combat stun/in combat stuns/etc.
If you suck you might have to buy potions from vendors. I generally only need them on boss fights (normal difficulty) because i often miss blocks by pressing too soon or missing multi-attacks.

Only played on normal so far. It's very easy in general, but some of the QTEs are a bit frustrating.

I would consider this a casual game, but a funny one at least.

There are three difficulty modes, if I remember right. Play it in the hardest one, the game is not hard.

I mudstomped it on hard and I honestly didn't think I would. I'm a little disappointed, truth told, that I had such an easy time of it.
