I'm hearing that the game locks you into Normal mode until you complete it once, and that normal mode is fairly easy. I'm the kind of player that likes to play on the highest difficulty setting, so that kind of bothers me. Can anyone report in on how challenging the game is, and/or how quickly one can unlock the higher difficulties?
If you want an added challenge, complete Normal as quickly as possible. No extra dungeons, no exploration. Your lack of gear and experience points should make it more...interesting.
Alternatively, play on Hardcore for perma-death.
