I played several games in ironman mode.
Usually 4-5 characters in the party, rarely more. My tires on 3 character parties have failed.
I too think 'simple' profession make a more easy play, at least in bigger parties. My first ironman was fighter, rogue, bard, ranger, prist and mage.
A system crash won't wipe out your game. It's just back to the last point where the game was saved. Thats either the end of the last playing session. Or, if you use autosave (like me), the start or end of the last fight.
You can't save from within the game. But you can make a copy of your save file. I do this to restore if the portal bug occurs (with autosave on, the game saves at the moment the party dies)
It *is* possible to reload out of combat, but i consider that a bug (and don't use it). Point of ironman is that you can't go back and try something else.
