start a new character. if youve been through the game already you will have found instances where you had to use clever tactics to succede, right? (if not, i pity you. you musta missed a lot). times when wandering in, swords swinging, just gets you chunked. times like kangaxx for instance.

Ok, I tried to do it legit and the first thing I noticed is...you can't kill EVERYTHING in the game. I had to choose my battles and avoid unnecessary ones. Secondly, my assassin was doing a lot of backstabbing and then running like hell to HiS, or drawing creatures back to some previously laid traps. Thirdly, I was resting a lot to regain some abilities. This was weird after finishing the game hearing"I need rest if our cause is to succeed" about 80% of the time, second only to "you must gather your party.." for annoyance.
So my question to the soloists is this: Honestly how much of 40 hours of game time is spent running away, resting, or reloading your game? I would rather the game just made the battles proportionally more difficult depending on how many was in the group, then all this running around. I don't recall many incidents on pen and paper where I told the DM I was going whack the creature and then run. Repeat ad nauseum....
