Agelousss,

Welcome to the IWD forum!

IWD is a beautifully rendered, challenging yet balanced, and exquisitely detailed dungeon crawl.

Get HoW expansion if you get IWD. Take it from someone who has played both ways, and hasn't even entered the HoW areas yet: HoW adds many, MANY refinements that go way beyond just adding more adventure area. (See fairly recent posts on this forum for more info.) I hear they are now being sold packaged together.

You build your party of 1 to 6 characters totally from scratch (no computer generated characters join your party). They all start at level 1 with zero expo and progress to very high levels. I *THINK* the levels I've heard are: finish IWD around level 13. Finish IWD:HoW around level 17. In addition, HoF mode yields insane amounts of expo (if you survive). I think the cap is level 30 IN EACH CLASS; so, if you had a mage/thief multiclass, she could attain 30/30.

Party On!
