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.

I wouldn't mind but I also maybe wouldn't use it. Even though I'm with you. Boys fights are fine set pieces but not really my favorite part most the time. I've had ribs of fun with with ring and DS3, but what I like about then is the setting, exploration, and tension moving from bonfire to bonfire.

I'm stubborn though and would have a hard time convincing myself that it's ok to decrease the difficulty and not cheating/missing out on the intended game.
