Well, i have to say, that was an AWESOME game! Although, I don't think I would play it again, because it would be tooooooo easy... I found the ending pretty cool and how the slayer's killed irenicus in hell... Although, somehting I'm still confused about... I never did find that gender belt... Well, I can't wait for Throne Of Bhaal... I just hope they hurry up and make it before i get finished with my other games :) Well, overall i'd say that was an extremelly cool game... especially because you could take so many different routes...

If it seems too easy to play again, set yourself some limits. No use of spells over 6th level, for instance. Play without clerics. Don't use potions, and/or wands. There are many ways to increase difficulty that go beyond the difficulty "switch" in the configuration file. :)

I don't understand how you can say you wouldn't play it again. I must be addicted. I usually play the game with different characters, and then create special save games at certain battles so I can replay the fight and try different techniques, or just gate in a couple demons to fight. Not to mention trying different weapons on different characters -- still gotta try the wave halberd. I think other people summon monsters thru the console, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet.

Actually, writing this reminds me, can anyone point the way to get a list of monster codes to use with CLUAConsole CreateCreature?

An easy way to get a list of monsters is to use the Infinity Explorer to look at the .cre files. The names of the .cre files correspond to the names you would use in CLUAConsole to create the monster.To download the Infinity Explorer, go Here: [url="http://infexp.sourceforge.net/"]http://infexp.sourceforge.net/[/url]

15 dext
18 cons
18 int
18 wis
13 cha

PLus, i turned the difficulty onto the second highest, so, this should be a challenge :)

get your charisma lower and get your dexterity to 18, and then add some points to strenght, since you will get a charisma ring very early on in the game.

Um, if you want to challenge yourself, why use a weapon? Keep your strength at 3, and *don't* use the Ring of Human Influence. Don't give yourself the edge that your knowledge and experience would otherwise permit. ;)
