I don't remember the game being all that difficult outside of the constant ambushing and I played with a barb, ranger, bard, sorc, and druid without minmaxing (not exactly optimal party). Pretty sure I wasn't high enough level as I was supposed to be for lots of parts of the game and I was using Co8. The worst enemy in the game I thought was the interface. With no grid I kept misclicking constantly and a lot of the time the icons would fuck up and I thought I would be casting a spell and not do so or vice versa. I really hated that bar thing on the side too, and wish they found a better way to represent your actions per round.
As far as the fighting goes the game doesn't really stop you from simply leaving and resting after every encounter so it's more a matter of "do I feel like walking all the way out and back here again" moreso than of challenge, although I have a feeling someone will say that is an "exploit" too. There's only one quest which is time-based and it was added by the Co8 pack and even in that you get thrown a random encounter that you need to solve it right before the time runs up. You can also stealth past enemies with one character and then click on a staircase/doorway etc. and all of your characters will go through, not just the stealth guy if you can't past something, but you bone yourself out of a lot of xp if you do that too much.
