Should I play on hard mode? [first playthrough]

[H2]

Im a darksouls vet, and I only played the opening bit with the lion boss thing but I found it to be way to easy. I also want to play a mage and i'm guessing if this is anything like darksouls mage = easy mode, so should I restart in hard mode or is the tutorial just suppose to be super easy and it gets harder later?

The tutorial is moderately challenging.
The actual game starts pretty easy so you could get familiarized with the mechanics.
In Hard Mode however...prepare to be 1shot all the time, especially as Mage - if enemies can get to you naturally, Mage is cheesy but slow and frail.

[Action Man]

Hard Mode means you take way more damage and it takes a lot more stamina to perform actions. It pretty much means you're going to get one-shot by most enemies for quite some time, and big enemies for probably much longer.

I'd recommend Normal Mode, if to just get a feel for the game. Some classes are reduced to walking speed when using attacks, which makes you super vulnerable.

Combat in DD is generally much more chaotic than DS style games, and it's easy for something to run up and kill you super fast.

no hardmode is mostly 1 shotting and alot of headaches its for newgameplus to an extent. i have tryed hardmode playthroughs and it starts balanced enough but then gets annoying fast ;/ normal mode has its hard moments your going into it blind so it 100% wont be easy or anything. the game has many systems to make you op xD 1 shot arrows and throwable bombs and such

Depending how you feel about mods, you can try out World Difficulty. It toughens up a lot of enemies, and changes some spawns about, so you fight harder enemies sooner. It can be seem unbalanced at times, but it will make enemies much harder to kill, without the getting one-shot in return (most of the time).

World Difficulty 1.5 is meant for a new game. 2.0 is meant for levels 60/70+.

Yes.

Easiest way to gain xp and learn ai patterns. Without mods the game stops being a challenge after level 35 unless you deliberately refuse to pay attention to what's going on.

not realy the case unless your meta gameing the classes and know about growth. otherwise its stays fairly balanced. game has easyly breakable features once learned are unforgetable. you gotta put your self in the shoes of a new player

not even factual in the slightest. Gear >>> growth by a factor of literally four. BBI gear is available at level 10, Caxton gold level gear is available from the grove drake, water god altar and any golem from minute one.

The mods are available on the creator's discord - that's where I picked up mine! They should be available on the Nexus in December.

I believe you can find the discord link by searching for World Difficulty (by Lefein) via Reddit. There's some basic instructions on how to request the WD mods to download.

Yes. Just like killing Metal Golem via exploit makes actual fight not annoying at all ;)

I haven't watched any videos, and don't need to.

Your opinions and apparent level of skill simply don't reflect the game at all.

Less annoying than holding a button down for twenty minutes the same you did the last thirty times for every enemy.
