Would you prefer if games had a separate difficulty setting for boss fights? (lemmy.world)

I usually play games on "normal" difficulty these days, for a balanced challenge. However, I don't particularly enjoy boss fights, or at least I don't enjoy the extra challenge associated with them. Was thinking it would be nice if games had a separate setting so I could just set boss fights to "easy", while not making the rest of the game less challenging as well.

A lot of games allow you to adjust the difficulty mid game. I've played several games on "ultra masochist hard" only to lower the difficulty for the bullshit final boss (looking at you Kena).

That's actually what I tend to do, but would be nice (for laziness) to have two different settings. Or for cases where games don't allow adjustment after starting.

Funny you bring up Kena, because that is actually probably a prime example for me too. Loved the rest of the game, but the boss fights were a bit too difficult imo!
