When I'm told EK is "too difficult", I can't avoid smiling. I think EK is a bit harsh, that's all.

Now, what is a difficult RPG?

Wizardry 6-8, certainly are.
Pool of Radiance (gold Box) had some interesting combats.
Fallout 1 has a harsh beginning, BG1 has a harsh ending.

Dark Souls, the most punishing game in existence. So realistic, 1 sword strike can kill you. Any boss will 1 hit KO you and yeah....it's ridiculous tough.

One of my hardest RPG was Fate- Gates of Dawn.Remember that all of them who don't offer a automap where hard to play.So no compare to the new one like EK.

Drakkhen, by far.

Now, staying on the topic I must mention Wizardry 7 and Might&Magic VI.

See, I thought BG1s ending was far easier than the start. By that point your casters don't explode on a single hit and start getting some magic.

Fallout was only rough if you didn't kite while you were stuck with melee imo and if you took a nasty crit.

Fallout Tactics on iron man could be rough if you set the difficulty high but that wasn't quite a pure rpg.

Heh. The beginning of Divine Divinity on hardest if you didn't use any of the broken skills. (Good old scorpion traps). That was pretty mental.
