So, apologies if this has already been discussed; I'm still playing through the game myself, so trying not to read the thread to avoid spoilers, but had something I was curious about folks thoughts on.
I'm going to preface this by saying that this game is absolutely incredible, easily a top if not the top I've ever played for what it's getting at. That said, is there any sort of general consensus on what folk think about the difficulty? I feel like I've been playing totally normally, but ended up breaking the difficulty of the game over my knee by early into mid-game, to the point where random encounters rarely last past the first round, and almost never past the second.
Even putting aside what that does for the 'game' aspect, it really hampers the erotic part too. This game is built around all the status effects, and a huge part of what pulled me in was how even in just random battles you'd have to deal with party members being made to be blissfully entranced, or obediently join the enemy, or masturbate for their new masters, or... etc. For a while now, though, I've had to intentionally wait around a turn or two to see if a new mob does something, and of course most of them do, but it really really doesn't hit the same if I have to sandbag for it to happen.
Partly I ask just because I'm curious if I'm alone in this or if others share similar thoughts, but also because if others have thought along those lines, I'm wondering if there's any suggested mods and / or self-imposed challenges folk have come up with that they could recommend. (I actually have a couple thoughts on that second part myself, but this is long enough as it is, so I'll gather them and share if anyone expresses interest).
