Once you can be sure that all the players are on the same page, you can actually start to balance endgame content. This is the reason that nearly all MMOs tend to balance their games around a level cap. Because, again, difficulty is not a fixed concept in RPGs, itвЂ™s dependent player level and the enemy level. For one thing, it weakens the fiction and invalidates all that grinding from the early game: the whole point was to get powerful, damnit! And for another, the fundamental problem always remains: the easiest solution to any given combat problem is never to engage with the gameвЂ™s deeper systems or develop new strategies, itвЂ™s just to go off and grind until it becomes easy. The thing is, there are a lot of problems with that, too. So couldnвЂ™t you just adjust the difficulty? Bethesda games have sliders, after all. The story missions, at this point, are probably still working just fine. As you forge your way into the open world, you find a degree of different challenges, some manageable, some trying, some downright impossible. When you start, the game is balanced, because the developer knows exactly how powerful youвЂ™ll be at that beginning moment. It happens in every game like this that I play, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, the recent AssassinвЂ™s Creed games, whatever. The problem is not that the game is too hard, or too easy, the problem is that balancing difficulty is basically impossible and so it feels off nearly all the time. If you take the time to do side content you wind up overlevelled, and encounters become easy. If you go straight through the main story, you might be underlevelled, and encounters become frustrating. Cyberpunk 2077 is just the latest example of a longstanding gripe IвЂ™ve had with these RPGs where difficulty is an elusive, changing concept that interferes with the flow of basically every one of these games.
