    Remember: you get MORE XP for easy mode and LESS XP for hard mode!

    Keeping this in mind, I play on easy for characters who don't do much combat damage, and hard for characters who do lots of damage in combat.

    ...Sometimes I switch the difficulty to easy right before I report completing a quest to get a bigger XP reward. Is that cheating?

    Cheating? No. Revolting? Yes.

    I play hard because I'm not a pussy.

    I take it you're saying that you are easy?

    If I am what I eat, does that mean I'm fast, cheap, and easy?

    But yes. I am easy.

    I start on medium and change it to hard when it gets to easy.

    Hard. The other difficulties are too easy.

    Even hard is too easy to make things the slightest bit challenging.

    Medium. A game should always play "as the designers intended" at its default difficulty setting. I never adjust difficulty in the middle of a game.

    (You can guess what I think of Oblivion.)

    Even hard is too easy, though I actually challenge anyone to use the savegame editor to give themselves 1 hitpoint and finish the game.

    I could only see that happening as a diplomatic character.

    I bet I could do it with a harm mage surrounded by a retinue of Sogg, Chukka, Gar, Loghain, etc.

    Hell maybe even solo with just harm + disintegrate + invisibility + lots and lots of greater fatigue potions.

    Never played Arcanum on anything other than medium. The game's pretty broken as is, and the various difficulty modifers just make it even more messed up.
