I'd hack the editor and create solid rattkins. Then I'd have them exterminated. Optionally, solid felpurs and hunt Rattkins to extinction. I'm sure we'd run into generic giant T'rang.

I dropped it at the beginning, when i heard about level scaling. Hour long fights with respawning enemies i experienced first hand though.
So, how bad is level scaling? Is it Oblivion-tier or Disco Elysium-tier?

It's limited area based scaling.
The monastery is limited to level 8 or something, If you get back there higher level, the toughest roaming monster you'll encounter is metallic slimes.

Same for every area, there's a lower and a upper limit.
Also, 1 hour long fights is a meme, people hear about it and then repeat it.
Once you know the game, first, you install fastanim and wizfast to speed up combat, then you use freeze on jugernauts/piercer modai and the likes, the enemy type responsible for the longest fights (early on).

Once frozen, you use berserk, backstab, superman pots and other buffs and beat the crap out of them in no time...

So Wiz 8 is a game you want to speedrun? Definitely do NOT grind?
