It's ironic... The Solo-No-Reloads project isn't quite as difficult as I've thought. [img]smile.gif[/img] It took me 5 restarts to get out of Jonnie's Playhouse... But i've only died once in Chapter 2 (Huh?! Killer Mimics can see through invisibility?! ) and restarted, obviously - still on that 2nd game, heading to The Island now. I've came to some interesting conclusions... I think I'll write a big thread about it once i've beaten SoA.
In a way it's not as hard as it seemed, I agree. Before I started this I was probably one of the most manic reloaders around, so I couldn't see how I was ever going to pull this off, but it's surprising how easily you get used to it. The thing about the Killer Mimic just proves that you don't die to the dangerous enemies, but rather to the seemingly harmless ones who catch you completely off guard. At least half of my deaths with the F/T/M was the result of a lowly Lvl 1 Charm Spell, and the rest were all in situations where I didn't really think I was in danger, until it was too late, such as when I confidently went melee on a group of Imp Beholders in the Unseeing eye with my Shield of Balduran, and two rounds later had been poisoned three times and took 12 pts of damage per second.

So did you do everything in chapter 2-3 before going to Brynnlaw, or was the leave as hasty as usual? [img]smile.gif[/img]
