Mungri Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Just like when I first played BG1 with zero clue and no hints and died 100 times to the first Ogre, and then equipped an uber looking magic belt which turned me into a woman .... YES I THINK I WILL! Hard difficulty + Expert Mode and I know nothing about this game, I WANT IT BRUTAL! 1
ISC Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 No! The question is - should I play on path of the damned or hard the first time?
ComMcNeil Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I guess that expert mode really only makes a difference IF you enable it on the first playthrough. If you play through it normally and enable it on the second playthrough, you already know a lot of stuff expert mode disables in the first place. Ultimately, everyones own choice of course 1

Ultimately, everyones own choice of course Thats completely true, I didnt think of it that way. Expert mode for first playthrough it is is. Im not mad enough for path of the damned, Hard should be challenging enough.

Mungri Posted March 26, 2015 Author Posted March 26, 2015 ^^ You figure it out yourself, thats the point.
Aarionn Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Just like when I first played BG1 with zero clue and no hints and died 100 times to the first Ogre, and then equipped an uber looking magic belt which turned me into a woman .... YES I THINK I WILL! Hard difficulty + Expert Mode and I know nothing about this game, I WANT IT BRUTAL! I will never play it without expert mode. I will remove every possible help that can show me what I could do just if I made different character. This is how it is in BG and that game is still mystery for me after so many years! I can play it now and probably see some dialogue option I never saw before or find a loot I didn't know existed before I was never offered this path before because of how I choose to play and roleplay my char.
johnyderp Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Just as a warning ( I don't want to spoil the other things in expert mode), one of the options turned on in expert mode is " Combat Options[5] Perma Death, characters whose health reduced to 0 will permanently die, instead of becoming Maimed."
Mungri Posted March 26, 2015 Author Posted March 26, 2015 ^^ That just means more reloads. Thats great.
ComMcNeil Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 ^^ That just means more reloads. Thats great. I agree. Unless you play ironman, you just reload the encounter (if you saved beforehand :D) and try to do it better
johnyderp Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Oh I didn't even think of that ha. Yeah I suppose you're right, for some reason I had it in my mind you could only use the one save, but that's Trial of Iron.
johnyderp Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 You say expert mode is like BG 2 which is a bit true but at least in BG 2 I could use a rod of resurrection on dead companions. Here they'll be dead (sandlot voice) F O R E V E R.
