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. After I somehow miraculously managed to survive a group of greydwarves another group appeared out of nowhere, it was pure madness. 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.
