Also.. how does dieing make a game hard?
you die you get up, you do it again. Even with exp/sp/level down. it don't make it any harder. You just go back level more and retry it.
I have died tons of times in games I don't think any of them are hard.

Like two worlds 2, even on the "easy" setting i've found things that can one shot me. Does that make the game harder? Not really, I just go and level up more then get back to it.

if you want a really "hard" gamke play lost choas and shiyain ot w/o it called. Both have an ultimate settinhs where if you die and are not raised in time your character will get deleted. Imagine having all the best gear in the game a ton of money and you die and no one is aroumd to raise you. All that work is gone.
