Oh, so that's not how the game normally works. I bought the game recently and when I reached the black forest I didn't know how to deal with so many enemies.

The only thing I could do was running like a maniac stopping to sometimes hit someone once or twice before I kept running in circles.

I don't like to complain when games are hard because they usually give you what you need to deal with the difficulty but I don't think the game is being fair right now. I mean, the game went from making me fight with one sometimes two boars, maybe some small monster that was barely a threat when I didn't even have a weapon, to sending after me hordes of vicious monsters that barely let me breathe. It definitely doesn't feel right because that's not a difficulty curve, it's a wall.

If you are out at night, you will get a lot more greydwarves attacking. Especially if you are gathering items. Also, there are spawners that continuously spam greydwarves, shamans and brutes that can make it appear that they are coming from nowhere. Bottom line, stay out of the Black Forrest (or anywhere) at night if you can help it. Always be prepared to fight or RUN.
