At first I thought the combat was significantly more difficult than BG2, but I had forgotten the importance of pausing, and pausing FREQUENTLY, side effect of 10 years of nothing but balls to the wall action games It's similar in difficulty though, I could definatly see people new to CRPGs having a helluva tough time on Normal difficulty however.

I'm playing on Normal and the combat can be very challenging at times, but playing carefully and putting some thought into your battle plan, you can overcome those challenges. The game is challenging enough to make your victories give you a sense of accomplishment, while not being frustrating.
