Are there any penalties to axing their faces? Does any of them carry items/monies to loot? Agree that they add absolutely nothing to the game mostly due to their badly written stories. Also it would have been nice if their was a portrait to all of the named characters in the game - I think a mod for BG2 did this and it added a lot to the game play.

I think hard = more/stronger enemies. Pretty sure on easy you only encounter a Young Bear in the cave but on hard I faced off a Mama Bear and a Young Bear. Needless to say I got creamed... But definitely coming back later with a few buddies as I'm determined to have a bear pelt for my castle!

Playing on hard - L2 rogue armed with sabre and dagger with backstab breezed through all of the early fights - took down three bandits without breaking sweat! Back stabbed one - then sneaked attacked the others to death! All hail the tactical genius that I am! Then got ****y and soloed into the bear cave... Mama bear killed me with one swipe...
