Here, you can adjust the sliders for difficulty in both tasks. You can make combat simple while leaving the challenges tricky, or vice-versa. You can also turn up or down the difficulty level on both aspects of the game. The world is your oyster!

Don’t be shy on adjusting these options as you play. there are no ramifications on the story for tweaking difficulty mid-game.
