    Hello, I am playing as Salvador, on my way to Sanctuary. I usually like my game to be extremely demanding, almost close to impossible to succeed; so, I tried to find difficulty slider, as it reads somewhere that it's on "Normal", but I wasn't able to find it, nor do I remember being asked when I started the game which difficulty I wanted. So, two questions.

    1. Can it be changed?
    2. If not, I am guessing this is just the basic beginning of the game, thus made quite easy and it's gonna get harder. I died just once and not even at the boss fight, but because I was playing with his dual-wielding ability and got lost for a moment.
    3. Any other way to make game harder? Did not play Borderlands 1, so I don't know if the game is moddable?

    Thanks in advance, best regards.

    Borderlands works like diablo. The more players you have the tougher the monsters get. After you complete the game once you unlock Playthrough 2 which is increased difficulty.

    I play solo, ESPECIALLY Diablo. :)

    Not the type of games I enjoy playing with others (Co-Op.)

    Now, Quake 2... is a different story.

    Yeah, I wish we could add more enemies in solo play. It's too easy as it is. :/

    If you are expecting a challenge in the start of the game on playthrough 1 you are going to be extremely disappointed. Oh and this game was designed entirely around multiplayer there is going to be alot you can't solo later on.

    use shitty guns, or just dont do a lot of the side missions. its a lot harder when youre a couple of levels lower than required. I walked through the entire zombie island dlc of b1 three levels below normal, and it was really hard.

    I'm sorry, but I don't like restraining myself in such ways; all I ask for is a simple slider to make enemies tougher, not make me weaker, especially not but SKIPPING parts of the game so I'll be weaker. I don't think you can defend that point of view.

    Also, I enjoy riding my car... but it's regaining health?! And if I am right, vehicles are free??

    I enjoy the game so far, it's extremely enjoyable playing it. But some flaws make it way too easy and I am wondering whether patch can/will solve it or a mod.

    P.S. Also, enemies AI... rushing at me for no reason, and then, sometimes, if just one of them is left, he keeps patrolling around the house as if nothing happened.

    Wow, you're so smurt, such a (Solomon's) fair judgement.

    Edit: Actually, it's my mistake; I registered on first forum that came after Google search and thought this is the official one; I was hoping for a response which might have some insight into how things (might) change. Nothing to add, I guess, discussion closed. I'll keep on weeping.

    Was that really necessary? He had a question about how the game works, there is absolutely no reason to insult him about it.


    Anyways to the OP. As far as I know there are no plans to add a difficulty slider to the game. You can always have a friend join and AFK it to increase the difficulty.
