Oh... kay. This makes me feel kinda sheepish, because I actually went from 'Normal' to 'Easy' during my first playthrough when I had to reload 50 times to overcome a particularly large group of darkspawn.... And some people are actually making the game harder. This is how I know I'm not a power gamer. That, or I'm just lazy. 
But yeah, like Grunker said, some people *really* like their difficulty.
That being said, I don't know about you guys, but I thought some encounters (namely in the Deep Roads, but this works elsewhere) could go from slightly challenging to really easy. What I'd do is have my party stand their ground, go in with a ranged weapon or a long range spell, attack one or two critters, and then fall back and chop up the stragglers into bits. It may be considered cheating, but it really works for some of the larger groups.
There's that, and then there's the enemy AI being pretty damn dumb about ranged attacks coming from outside their standard enemy detection range; you only get one or two of them pissed off at a time at maximum.
In open ground you can often take down an army with just bows as long as you neither start inside nor venture into the enemies detection range. o_o
They really could do with a functional call for help script or something, just for the immersion bit.
But eh, I guess I'm not complaining, plenty enough challenge in it anyway. .p
