Come on. There's more than 2 good encounters. Or at least potentially more than 2. Fampyrs, fire naga dungeon way up north, nemnok, concelhaut, bog witches, Sayuoka druids, that one dungeon where some hooded niggas try to execute a fella, Dunnage ambush, Dunnage bounty with big ogre on the pier. Those are all nicely set up fights that should be fun once difficulty gets buffed.
Other then fampyrs I've had the most problems with the ogre, there's a mean red skull pistolero hidden on a terrace away from the pier, and he really brings on the pain.
