Well, some balancing might eventually have to happen.
I mean, not sure if it was dumb luck but I didn’t really struggle with any of the current battles. Just pick the right tactic for the right opponent (seduce the tanks and smack around the seducers)
So who knows, maybe the combat stats will depend on your companions, equipment or be affected by the story progression instead of levels.
Frankly, I can’t read Arc’s mind, not sure if I’d want to anyway.
