I think difficulty shouldn’t be a global thing players adjust, but be built directly into the game.
The start of the game should be approachable and then it should be up to players how / when they want to approach certain challenges.
Just keep giving us feedback when you get your hands on if something seems too crazy to you. Since Wicked is an RPG, you’ll always find ways to overcome any challenge by grinding a bit more, upgrading your gear, finding better gear or following some crazy build guide and becoming a bit OP, etc.
