From what I have seen, low level gameplay is pretty good and challenging...likely due to the amount of playtesting it received, but it kind of falls apart when players reach the mid to upper levels. At level 40 or so, with just a one handed weapon....a reasonably optimal character can demolish dragons and boss type enemies with ease...by ease I mean 5 - 10 seconds or less of slashing....not even taking into account that two handed and dual wield would deal much more damage....and there are still over 20 more levels for players to gain.

I mean, the game is great and all....but I don't see the point in having an easy and very easy difficulty if normal is already easy enough. Difficulty should have been labeled easy (adept), normal (expert) and hard (master) as I can't possibly imagine what the two difficulty settings below normal are like.
