Hello,
I'm facing strange problem with difficulty in Ireland upon my return from England, while questbook still notes that suggested power lvl is 55 (i think its same as when i started ireland) I'm 183 and mobs i encounter are red skull. I had to lower to Easy (from normal) so I could finish abbot fortress siege, as every npc was red skull and i was getting killed on 3-4 hits. So this fixed npc in that mission, although in world i still encounter red skull enemies, but they seems to be a bit easier. But for example fight with Balor (after killing all children of danus) was trivial, i think he was just green and it took me few hits to kill him - ie what i would expect from easy difficulty (or perhaps even from story).
But now I'm at "the cost of betrayal" and fighting - you know who at the hilltop - and all mobs are again red skull and I'm getting trashed with 3-4 hits...while again bosses (both the king and you know who) were very easy compared to trash mobs before.
Not sure what could go wrong, till now (~80h) everything worked fine in this regard, both in england or ireland during my first visit. Only oddity I can come up is, that i was playing Ireland back in december (i could be around 30-50 power dunno) but as my ubi+ expired i lost access to it (own only base game) so just went back to england and pushed story there, i came to power 183 and returned to ireland now (as ubi+ was for 1e for month) only to find this problem.
Addition: Post was about Ireland - but as i couldnt get over the forum skynet - I finished Ireland, went back to England and went to France only to see exactly same problem. The difficulty setting is set to easy - and the scaling setting was automatically set to OFF , meaning enemies shouldnt level up at all. France is suggested power 200 , I am 200, and again every single trash mob is red skull and difficult to kill...
Its very frustrating as I dont really want to "play" this on nightmare difficulty and want to enjoy same pace the game was providing about month ago...any idea how could this be fixed or whats wrong?
EDIT: I had to edit this post many times and had to put part of the text in quote code, because this useless akismet filter was blocking my post...good grief
