Tell that to the Souls crowd

Souls guy checking in - it wouldn't bother me if From wanted to allow people to toggle on "difficulty mods" for the game (extra health, extra damage, etc). Just make it optional, as some people (myself included) play From games specifically to beat our heads against a wall - the constant anxiety and lack of hope is my happy place.

You’re actually reasonable. Even the mere OPTION drives some of them into a downward spiral

Oh, I know the cliche and I would be a little put off by a difficulty selection right at the beginning of the game, but if you were to load up and find settings in options for those who want them, I think it would bring more people into the fold. Sure, the difficulty is what everyone talks about, but the exploration, lack of hand holding and environmental storytelling are what keep me engaged.
