I recall that in BG1, there was some speculation that the difficulty of the final battle with Sarovok would increase exponentially each time you died-reloaded-tried again. After a few failed tries, the battle would become so difficult that it was pointless even to try.
The reason I bring it up is that a couple of nights ago I experienced something odd in ToB. I was battling Draconis and made some serious mistakes that got my little six pack killed. I reloaded and tried again, only to get several party members chunkified. On my third try, Draconis was so overwhelmingly powerful that nothing I did could even scratch him. My tried and true "time stop-improved alacrity-drop the hammer" tactic failed to lower his health in the slightest and my party quickly got slaughtered.
I quit in frustration only to try again, last night. This time, I killed him quickly and efficiently. Make me wonder what was going on. Do the battles become more difficult after a reload?
