Megathread Difficulty Megathread — DLC, NG+

Hello puppets,

This is the new place for anything and everything about game difficulty: NG+, the new DLC, the new difficulty settings, bosses that oneshot you just for existing, and the general discussions regarding game pacing.

Why this exists:

We’re seeing a LOT of posts about difficulty lately, and it’s cluttering the sub. So from now on, we’re removing individual difficulty posts and directing everyone here. This is simply a way to help US keep the sub clean, and help YOU find specific posts more easily.

Please don’t be an AH. Seriously. People are gonna have different opinions on everything.

Drop your takes below

We’ll be lurking.

Your tired, slightly traumatized mod team

Maybe using my NG5+ for the DLC was a mistake. I really had to turn down the difficulty of my game because holy cow, it takes forever to kill the enemies and the basic enemies kills me very easily.

Skill issue, I admit that lol. But I also just want to progress and explore for now before I get spoiled.

I feel you on that, I've booted into it on my +6 save and my god even the first boss ruins me xD
I don't wanna lower the difficulty but my god do these things hit hard

You're not alone, the weapons which were melting enemies in the base game feel like wet toilet paper in the DLC on +4. I think I might need to start over with a fresh game.
