this appeals and dismays in equal measures, I'll happily bang my head against some difficult sections in some games but other times i'll lose my rag instantly and go off and do something else and it'll be ages before i come back to it.

The game isn't hard if you approach it right. You cannot hack & slash, you need to be careful with stamina and health.
You don't need to grind but you can farm sections for easy souls to lvl up.
I have a knight class and do ok with a sword and shield. A mate of mine (who is boss at this game) is a pyromancer pwning with magic and bows.
You can level you characters anyway, so your warrior can be a magic wielder, or your thief a battleax swinging hulk
Worth a crack IMO. I am 14 hours in and not very far in.
