The degrees of difficulty and their changes
   

I've been wondering, what's the difference between the easy, normal and difficult settings? Is it simply that enemies are tougher, or do you get less gold, less usefull equipment and more enemies, or something like that?

Differences:
- enemies do more damage
- you do less damage

What does not change:
- number of enemies
- HP of enemies

It is sad because there is not real motivation to play on highest defficulty. I think some "Diablo 2 like" system could be very very good.

Danicek forgot to also confirm they drop the same loot. I'm sure he was going to say it though!

I'm not sure, but I remember I read somewhere (planet forums probably), that loot dropped by monsters is actually better on hard level. The rest is the same

Well, main reason to play game on hard level is actually to make game tougher to beat Yeah, I know I'm strange

If harder difficulty doesnt mean more exp. then it doesnt make sence that creatures drop better items. Because for better items you usually need more skills and during this game on normal dif. I find things I can not use, because they are for some supermans or what .

And yes Soltys, you are a little bit strange .

It would be strange that if you play on a higher difficulty, you would get more exp points. More exp points, the stronger your caracter is, then the game wolud get easier, not more difficult.

Something I've noticed:

If you put the game on hard, play it for a while, and in the midst of (non-active) enemies put it on easy, you'll hear a bunch of agonized screams and maybe even see some die.

So... there ARE more enemies, at least from my observations.
