[IWD2]Yay, I beat the game on Normal! Now how do I start HoF?

[Klorox]

I just beat the game last night, and after watching the final little movie, I had to leave immediately. So I haven't actually tried to do this yet.

How do I go about getting my party to start over in HoF mode? TIA

Wait... you haven't ACTUALLY played on HoF-mode yet? Well, that would explain a lot about some of your comments in the other thread...

To activate HoF-mode, you will need to go to your Game Configuration from the Windows Start Menu. There will be a checkbox for you to enable HoF.

Be prepared to totally revise your strategies. [img]tongue.gif[/img] This is a mode that is basically Insane-Insane.

Cheers.

Only I think Klorox means IWD2 and not IWD here...

Ah, darnations. Well, in my defence, the thread's title was ambiguous. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Natch.

[Klorox]

Yeah, my bad. I didn't add [IWD2] to my title. I'll edit it right after making this post.

So, how do you get your [IWD2] party from normal mode into HoF mode? Thanks.

Export your party (I don't know if it's done automatically or not). Anyway to do it go to the character record screen and click on "export" (for each character).

Then do what Dundee said...

Then when you start a new game, during character creation, click import charachter, and select the characters you exported earlier.

I got it to work.

I manually exported them after replaying the final battle (there's a period of time after killing Isair and Madae before you leave the tower and trigger the ending movie to do this). I couldn't figure out any other way of doing it.

Man, HoF is tough!

Thanks for the help guys. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Use tactics, my friend; summons, enchantments, and spelltraps. One-on-one melee is a no-no. All that 72 AC stuff is only as good as your spell duration.

Trying to bulldoze through accomplishes exactly nothing.

Well, my one decoy type is doing alright charging ahead and drawing all of the attention to himself, but I'm still keeping as many Mirror Images memorized as possible on him.

I do have a Deep Gnome Cleric also, who I'm probably going to add a Monk level to for the massive AC bonus (her WIS is currently 33 on level 18), but I really don't want an XP penalty. I'm going to hold out as long as possible with that one.
