If it's anything like Icewind Dale (I played IWD2), then there are builds that work and make things easy, and builds that suck horribly and are a slog from the word "go". If it's anything like IWD2Very true. I'm one for story over gruelling difficulty, so I play on Easy. Recently bumped up to normal and even though my characters are level 10, it's incredibly gruelling.
Gave up in a huff tonight, going to see if the main quest is any easier.
I've been meaning to pick this up at some point, regardless.
