Ironworks Gaming Forum - View Single Post - A quick question for those who play on insane...

I'm curious, for all you veterans who play BG2 on insane difficulty - when creating a character, do you have the difficulty slider initially set to "normal" to ensure your character starts the game with maximum HP, or do you play like a man and have insane right from the very beginning? I've recently been doing the latter, but it's a little demoralising when my warriors with 18 CON start the game with HP in the 50's.

I'm kinda torn between weather to carry on creating my characters with a realistic Dx of hitpoints, or to create them on normal to get the most HP possible out of them (generally because they abolished class hit dice + CON bonuses after levels 9/10).

Thoughts/opinions?
