Hi there.
I played through icewind dale a couple of years ago.
Just recently I installed heart of winter. But I didn't want to use my old party, I thought it would be much more fun to create a new one. But I was warned against creating a new in HoW-game only, as lvl9 was recommended.
Well, I wanted to try anyway, and created a new party. I managed to level a decent amount on verbal quests alone before my first combat, but found my initial combat very hard. Just the fact that nobody sold armor in the start-town was very frustrating.
So I therefore wondered if anyone else had managed to complete HoW with a lvl 1-party, and how hard it is.
So therefore I joined this forum. But while I waited for approval, I've already completed HoW...
I found that the game was not so very hard after I had gone past the burial isle-stage. (those drowned deads were hard indeed)
Well, not a very long expansion that one... anyone other who has completed HoW-only with starting a new party?

Not yet, but I'm thinking of it.

Question Mark

Welcome to Ironworks! [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img]

I hadn't considered a new party starting in Lonleywood not having adequate equipment. There are some merchants stuck in town, so I suppose I could always edit a dialogue file, create a store, and give new parties a place from which to purchase normal armor, weapons, etc. On the other hand, magical equipment is relatively easy to find there, so rapid improvement is possible.

platon79,

Very impressive accomplishment! And proof that masochists are still alive and well on planet Earth.
