Too much junk tends to drop, and proper stat - management / «builds» seem like they could very easily upset the balance of the fights, which thankfully managed to tend toward «intimidating» at the state that I tackled them at (mostly due to wearing intentionally crappy - armor, sticking only to using the first
non-wood weapon I found, and strategically - suiciding to stave off the temptation of cashing in the excessive fruits of my unintentional grinding).
