I put exactly 0 thought to the characters builds, so I know it's my fault and I suspect it's not that hard. But I literally have no interest in the combat system, so of course the game is not entirely made for me. However, this story mode shows that some devs don't consider difficulty as a pre-requisite to enjoy their art.

    Maybe there's a mod that autowins the battles for you if that's something you would enjoy? If all you want from the game is the story and the art but go along at your own pace, so not game play videos, god mode cheats might give you what you want. I'm being 100% serious.

    I'll man up at some point and try to beat the game "fair". But not a bad idea if I still get stuck to just cheat.

    Don't let the word cheat be a distraction, games are for enjoyment and if the default experience is not enjoyable for you tweaking is 100% fair in offline games tbh. My point was that I like there to be an actual default unified experience, but everyone is free to enjoy how they like. I'm one of the cheesiest players of offline games of all time lol.

    Yeah no worries I dont have any issue with cheating in single player games.
    I used loads of trainers in the past to expand the fun in a game after beating it. It's just rarer the times I need to pull out one to finish it

    Why not just watch a video of it on YouTube at that point?

    Because the game is prettier/smoother running on my computer native res at 100fps, than watching compressed videos on YouTube.
    Otherwise yeah I would have watched a play through instead.
    Also going at your own pace and being free to explore the environment is more pleasant than watching someone do it for you
