The only concession that strict soloists will allow is Valgar. If you are good-aligned and do not wish to kill him, you may take him in and use him to open the door of the Planar Sphere.
NOTE! This is his only role! If you encounter any random encounters, you are supposed to reload and avoid them, because a soloist has to earn all his/her Exp by him/herself. After opening the door, the soloist kicks Valgar out.
On a side note, I usually kill him and just use his body to open the door.
A genuine soloist will also not cheat. That is, no giving oneself equipment at the start.
Oh... and the difficulty level is Insane of course. We are talking about giving oneself a challenge here.

Valygar is the
only exception to that rule that i allow myself, and yes you do have to play on insane [img]smile.gif[/img]

Usually when you are soloing, you know the game in such depth, that you know where all the traps are. Other possible ways of getting around the traps are: being a mage (
most people(me included) take either a mage or multi/dual classed mage) and casting protective spells, or being a fighter so you have enough hp to survive the traps.
