Maybe eventually.  I'm finding 1 very repetitive at this point and 
getting a bit bored with it.  90% of the game is fighting bandits, 
goblins, wolves, zombies & skeletons which currently offer no challenge, 
and leveling has slowed to a trickle.  I miss the variety and some of 
the difficulty of Souls games (except ER which gets a bit repetitive.) 
I suppose I could start over on hard mode, but that would just make it 
harder not have any more variety.  I'm on the edge of quitting, but 
trying to push forward the main quests now to get it over with or 
somewhere more challenging & different monsters.

The only real challenge in the last 10 levels or so has been the luck of 
avoiding me or my NPCs getting picked up and dropped off cliffs by 
fliers or pushed off to our deaths.

At least with the changing classes every 11 levels that the build guide 
I'm using that gives me some variety as I learn how to fight as a 
different class, but the levels have slowed down considerably at 41 
(there's 200 in total, I hope I don't have to go through all of them to 
finish the game)

Also 2 currently has some severe performance issues on PC that are being 
looked into, and there's complaints it's littered with MTX.

I'm thinking of giving Monster Hunter a third try again as there's 
supposed to be a lot of monster variety, I don't know if I can get past 
the apparently endless extremely cringe cutscenes though.
