@Brohamond - I just finished the game for the first time. Regardless of how challenging Salomet can potentially be, I think his voice actor was utterly miscast. They should have used Grigori's VA and vice versa. When I first heard Grigori speak I couldn't believe my ears. What were the devs thinking!?

Regarding scaling, you're right. I was doing quests for the various trophies and fought Salomet when I was around 75. I didn't even hit him once. My pawns killed him before he stopped teleporting every time I got close to touching him.

It's funny, too, because I decided to play an Assassin (1-10 Fighter, 11-200 Assassin) and chose Hard Mode for my first playthrough. The beginning was absolutely brutal. It totally confirmed what everyone was saying in various formus. It was worse than Demon's Souls: everything killed me in one hit. A few dozen quests later, however, and I laugh in the face of Chimeras, Cyclopes, Trolls etc.

... but run and hide behind the first tree I see when I hear "That one!" lest a random bandit kills be in a single Fivefold Flurry :x

The balance is completely broken, but it's a single player game and I am having fun, which is all that matters. I always enjoy games which allow me to play as a Rogue/Thief/Assassin character with daggers :D
