LOL! :D Yes, of course. We're not that masochists.

yeh but has anyone done no re-loads right through bg1,TotSC,bg2 and throne of bhaal? that is the ultimate!!!

I forgort to say, I bow to any one has done that, evven attempted it, i would just get annoyed if i died becoz imagine if ur wer in tob and u died, u would have to start bg1 agen. although this wil become easier once every1 has got the patch that adds bg1 to bg2

I don't think that no-reload is much more difficult in ToB than in SoA.

It all lies in having complete control of the situation ALWAYS. Taking it slow. Prepping properly, so you are practically immune to anything that might screw you up.


No the real problem is BG1. As a small first level character you get thrown out in some rather hairy battles involving spellcasters of superior levels. You have yet to gain any of the "safeguards" that BG2'ers rely on. Basically there are a lot of fights where luck is a major factor.

I serousily doubt that the ToB Final Boss on Insane could be defetead with no-reloads. Excluding Ascension that is. But with Ascension...no way i say.

Why not? Think about it... if it can be done with reloads, surely it can be done with none. ;) Sure - OOC knowledge is necessary, and perhaps a grain of luck, but I see no reason why it should be impossible.

I'm slowly getting there. I'll let you know. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Can you remind me, Alson, which race/class do you play? What party (I hope you do have a party ;) ).
If I ever try to do such a thing, I shall take something versatile, FMT, for example. And *not* on insane. Core rules is quite enough for me.

Would making custom items for no-reloads game mean cheesiness? Yes, I know, it depends on the item... Rhetorical query.

Do you have mods?

Can't die, can't reload. Just like real life. [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>[/QUOTE]Can't die in RL? *giggle* [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img]

PS: Isn't no-reload just that you can't reload? (I really don't have a clue though, so don't listen to me. [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) </font>[/QUOTE]Oops...didn't mean it that way! :D

I mean you can't die and just reload the game. If you die or otherwise screw your "life" up, you are stuck having to start over again from scratch. In other words, like real life, you have to be careful, as you only get one go at things!

Tried it once (in BG1, of all things), and gave up when I met that first bounty hunter (way too tough that early in the game). Sure I could have avoided the guy early, but if you think about it, your foster father told you to make a beeline to that place before he died. Just roleplaying at that point!

Me too, actually. I play an Elven Fighter/Mage/Thief. Solo. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I'm already planning my next cruise through... I'm still undecided:
(1) Dundee's Wizard Slayer->Thief combo, solo
(2) A party: Swashbuckler, Kensai, Ranger/Cleric and a Skald
Both (1)&(2) are aimed for maximum efficiency - (1) is for defense, (2) is for offense.

I thought I'll try:
(3) The All-Too-Common solo Sorcerer
, but eventually decided that it'll either bee too hard, or too boring.

On Insane. It's the only way. :D

Yep - quite a few, actually.
Installed Weimer's Item Upgrades Mod, the entire array of Tactics, Ascension... what else? The usual, you know. I also have Sola, Valen & Kelsey installed - but since I'm solo, these mods don't have any effect on the gameplay.

So how far are you Alson?
