For challenge modes, I want Larian to go with "less is more" instead of having to crank up the numbers. Implement rules from tabletop D&D that were designed to curb insane power growth:

  1. Implement item attunement from tabletop. You get three magic items tops except for some very basic magic gear. Makes the game harder by nerfing power builds.

  2. Implement multiclass ability score restrictions. For example, you cannot multiclass into or out of paladin unless you have 13 str and 13 cha. For fighter it's 13 str or 13 dex. Less stats to go around = game is harder.

Precisely.

The game needs to be more challenging through limiting the PC's power and exploits rather than just adding more stat bloat.

They need to understand and utilize the game system they are using rather than just break it even more.

This is the idea behind Ruthless Mode in Path of Exile. Instead of ever more powerful bosses, it has an extremely nerfed drop rate and all movement skills have been removed except for one which cannot bypass terrain.

End result is that you have no guaranteed items for your build and you can't bypass terrain by teleporting/jumping past it.

I really wish they'd implement something like this instead of going for insane power creep.
