My opinion on difficulty.
#11
Hi,

Pete, D1 single player's difficulty comes from the fact that if you get a stair trap, or a bad monster combination, don't have the attack rating to hit the monsters, or get stunlocked every time, you're looking at starting a new game. It's not really difficulty, per se, just an exceptionally long 'argh' timesink.

I think you are forgetting D1's SP save system. Only if a person is so stupid as to save when they are in trouble will a stair trap or bad monster combination screw them. If a player has the wit to save only in safe places, then there are few problems in D1 that "go slower" doesn't cover.

Of course, if a player, playing his first character, chooses a warrior and tries to play it as a spell caster, then that player will probably have troubles. And not just in the game :)
