I figured I should reply to this as I am the one who started it, well indirectly anway. I'm more interested in plot developments and character interactions than a big challenge so on my second real game without cheats I'm just playing it on novice. After BG1 I got sick of having to reload all the time just because you failed a save or missed one attack. I also have to share the use of the computer and I like to actually get somewhere when I play. Remember too that novice only halves normal damage. spells still affect you fully and you still die just as quickly fighting vampires or Mind Flayers (faster actually as you get less experience during the game). The half damage hasn't done that much for me as I'm barely taking any damage from most fights now except the big ones.
