Well i chose this method as it seemed just about as hard as i could make the game and i wondered if it was possible. It was a challenge but the only times it seemed it wasnt possible is right at th start when the monsters are solid - i quickly caught up and it was mainly the 'extra' monsters you usually get with bosses on HOF mode that made things hard - like the mages in the yxunomie fight. Which was probably that hardest fight. I expected real trouble with the final fight but my magic shield blocked the dispell which would have made this a very hard battle.

I'd be interested to hear how things with the F/m/t goes, santuary was very helpful to me, and summon skel early on - so the orc caves at the start will be hard. Also once stoneskin and other mage spells wear off, its hard to recast them while being attacked, this could pose a problem in TotLM where there is only 2 sleepin spot (in the final dungeon).

Also has anyone ever seen this- it happened to me twice - you get hit by a spell while walking - for whatever reason you charcter speeds up and walks right through walls - did this in the section with the dungeon when you get locked in, and reopened the locked gate and went back out of the dungeons, all very strange.

I have been scouring for a new rpg to play - played baldurs gate on the ps2, got to lvl 30 and completed on the hardest setting within a week - boring - i need real replayability. Anyone any suggestions? no onliners tho- i get far too addicted to games (as you may have noticed) and online games = bad for my guitar skills.

Anyway hope this guide will hlp someone at some point (not really a guide) but if you post here ill probably see it and might be able to help. i suggest that if you have sompleted the game a few times and then on HOF mode, you should try this, it brings new value to different spells and makes you think about the battles beforehand, taking the order of spells you cast into account. Anyway see you all soon.
