Are you kidding me? The game is already too east. Only times I get close to dying is when I aggro a dozen enemies or so. Which ironically makes you kill em faster since area damage etc.
No, it wouldn't be too easy. It would be liveable. I am so fed up with these asinine battles. The only thing thing they're challenging is my patience.
It's not like you have to use it if there's an easy mode. But I don't have time for this shit. I played for an hour just now, and I had barely moved during that time because of the battles against enemies that never die.
I've died, but it's usually because a higher level enemy somehow joins the battle.
Otherwise, I agree, a lot of the battles feel long, not hard.
