From what I heard starting off in Hard difficulty would be nightmarish and easy would still be hard but as usual I picked the middle ground of Normal. This game is hard as hell (literally) and I was having doubts at the beginning about starting off very weak and the initial lack of story but after a couple hours of investing, now I love this game and I know about some of it's faults, for example mine would be only having 10 available spells at a time. The story is interesting compared to other Modern RPG's and deals with more grim subjects. But still I can see why a lot of people are put off by this game. With this game it all depends on what you are looking for in a game.
