it's not ball bustingly hard, but it's no skyrim. the fighting is a lot more realistic, you don't just mash the attack buttons, the swings and connections of the weapons actually have a visible weight to them. it's not a game you can rush through, it takes a lot of patience to get through the worlds because the enemies are constantly changing, and you need to figure out how to fight each different enemy type. for instance, i'm in an area now where once i open a door, a handful of jerks with bastard swords come charging up, and chase me back down a narrow corridor. the first time i did this part, i had a sword, and couldn't really do much because it kept hitting the wall. then i came back with a halberd and tower shield, and it's a lot easier since they're all lining themselves up to be shishkebab'd
