@ J'aran
Whilst I tentatively agree with you that it would be impossible with a level one character to make head way into Hordes (if the the first and second battles are anything to go by...) I'd be cautious in saying that it was absolutely impossible, as miracles in the form of truly imaginative gamers can find methods for success. If there was a way to start at level one, I'm sure there would be those insane enough to try.
Take Midget Gems for example - he completed Icewind Dale without levelling up at all for the entire game - with level one characters!
Sure, obviously the two games' dynamics are much different in scope with NWN being generally less strategic. (IWD being party based) It was still some feat.
Thus there's bound to be a similar NWN/Hordes story on the net somewhere! [img]smile.gif[/img]
Geez Wellard, you still haven't spelt out why you don't like being level one so much.
Hopefully its more than just power and status issues at play. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I mean, for me its one of those few moments in a game where you have to pay complete attention to what your character is doing at all times. I love that uncertainty of what a level one character can achieve without getting killed. It creates tension, doubt and that old school RPG feeling of anticipation of challenges to come.
Those familiar with taking a level one party through the streets of skara brae and into the wine cellar in Bard's Tale for the first time will know what I mean! [img]smile.gif[/img]
