I'm playing nearly all my RPGs in hardest difficulty possible. For me the definition of good RPG is which can give challenging gameplay and a sense of progression at the same time. In this aspect Skyrim surprised me much because it can give me both, while Oblivion has disappointed me deeply. I even play the few non-RPGs in hard mode like Batman Arkham City. An RPG must be really really hard at the beginning and must become easy with progression.
I purchased KoA but haven't begin playing yet. I don't want to involve in two free roam RPGs at the same time. But out of curiosity I took a glance at it and unfortunately I didn't find the difficulty challenging. I even travel to farther areas to see are there more difficult creatures there. Nope. I find aggressive magics too powerful at the beginning. There's some talk about Kurt Chilling considering to add a new difficulty mode to the game. I hope they will add with a future patch.
By the way, I agree with you Turjan on Evil Island. It's one of the unforgiven RPGs that I have played and because of this it's more fun.
