Can't die, can't reload. Just like real life. [img]smile.gif[/img]

PS: Isn't no-reload just that you can't reload? (I really don't have a clue though, so don't listen to me. [img]tongue.gif[/img] )

A no-reload game is just as it sounds - a game in which you don't reload.

If you die - you restart. Yep, straight out of Chateau Irenicus. If your tactic fails - there's no "redoing" it. You'll have to deal with the consequences.

Accidently killed a peasent in the Docks? No more entering the docks for you, minster!

Messed up the Windspear Hills quest somehow? You can forget about Carsomyr.

etcetera, etcetera...

It's quite nice - and it's not even as difficult as it may sound (although it can get frustrating at times). If you feel the game is too easy for you - go ahead. See for yourself if you're worthy for the BG2 Holy Grail! [img]smile.gif[/img]

This is also referred to as an "Ironman".

It is a test of skill and strategy in BG2.

In BG1 it is just torture.

I think that "Ironman" gaming also involves that you use your first rolled stats - click 'Abilities', click 'done'.

That sounds more like 'ironbrain' already [img]smile.gif[/img] Of course, someone really into it would probably do it anyway.

Hmmmm..... No-Reloads.... Thats just insane. Reminds me of my Final Fantasy 7 days. I played a no-materia game. Or FFX, a no-SphereGrid game. I'll give it a try, but, I dont think I'll succeed. Im just too impatience. I often run into a battle and see what happens. Like the Improved Abazigal on insane: I would have kicked his ass earlier if I just used that nice scroll of prot from electricty, but I was just too lazy and impatient, so I died. Restarting the game from THERE will be an absolute no-no for me u c [img]smile.gif[/img]
