This sounds autistic. Who cares if the challenge is greater or lesser than what you're playing? As long as it's enjoyable fuck worrying so much.However, I still find games in which I'm not supposed to choose a difficulty setting in the beginning far more exciting, because I can just take every challenge or easiness as it comes, rather than thinking back to the difficulty setting and thinking I made the wrong choice there.
Can we please stop praising From soft's awful difficulty balance? You can splatter Rennala your first time playing Elden ring. If you run into her late you completely crush her. Many of us had wildly different difficulty experiences because we took different paths. Opening the Caelid chest sky rockets the difficulty and running into an early game boss after you've done Nokron makes them a joke. You can skip entire boss phases if you encounter them too late. In my first play through Big Mogh never finished his spell. I killed him before he entered phase 2 and everyone else was telling me how hard he was. That's not good difficulty balancing and it's not good story telling either.
