I am far from a seasoned, experienced gamer, (played DAO and DA2 on normal) but I decided to turn DAI to hard to see if I could handle the difficulty. I am at level 5 in the hinterlands, and the only battles that have wiped my party out was the initial pride demon in the prologue. Everything else, Cassandra tanks and I backstab, while Varric and Solas support and provide ranged combat. Pretty easy.

Does the game get harder?

Head down the east road and claim the campsite near the "world map" marker. Go through the path that leads through that inquisition camp and you fill find some dragonlings and a pissed off mama. That will answer your question .

considering you wiped at the pride demon, i would stick to hard. any yes, the game gets more challenging later on.

As everyone else stated above, the game indeed gets harder. I'm level 6 and still in the Hinterlands. I can handle templars, but fear for my life when it comes to grizzly bears, assassins, mages and level 12 rifts.  ^_^

As I always do, I try the game on Nightmare and tread cautiously.  I'm careful about what I try to take on, and stay wary of gatepost enemies.  I found some lyrium smugglers close to the camp in Hinterlands that were level 8 when I was level 4, and realized I'd taken a wrong turn.

 

In DA2 my Nightmare attempt ended at a particular boss (can't recall the name, but EVERYONE complained about not being able to beat it).  I found that there were certain areas where the difficulty would spike, almost unnaturally so.  It was a little frustrating.

 

So far I've been using a rogue archer, which does fairly well against human enemies like the mages and templars in the Hinterlands.  But he didn't fare so well against the demons at the rift.

I have been enjoying nightmare immensely. If you enjoy the tactical camera (I love it), you should go for it. I wiped once on the pride demon at the beginning but in my 11 hours of gameplay, I haven't had an issue besides that. As a warning though, it does make encounters with trash enemies a bit drawn out but every victory is highly satisfying.

Interesting...I didn't die at the boss battle in the prologue, but I'm running into fights after that that seriously test me.

The lyrium smuggler outside the main hinterlands camp is tough. Especially when you're a level 4. I kept wiping but everytime came back he'd be a different type of enemy (Archer, dagger rogue, sword and board etc). I just took my lumps until I got the better of him.

I'm level 4 (earlier 3) in Hinterlands, and both some bandit fights (a side quest, near one of the camps - a few archers and a heavy two-handed warrior) and terror demon near the Rift wiped the floor with me - and they were barely 1 level higher. 

And I breezed through prologue on Nightmare + friendly fire with no one dying except for pride demon boss fight - whom I just misjudged (in previous games pride demons were quite weak) and who killed several party members with that damned "energy whip" attack.

So yes, the game gets harder. I'd wait with upgrading to Nightmare, if you died on Pride demon. I don't know how it looks on hard, but on Nightmare enemies have a ton of HP and some attacks can easily one-shot your more fragile party members (hell, a two-handed sword wielding bandit one-shot Cassandra (!!) with full HP but no guard)

I'm enjoying this difficulty a lot though - it's tough, but for the most time it's fair, unlike DA2.
