I'm a veteran of several BG2 run throughs, and now I have installed IWD and two expansions in the hope that it will be even partially as good. Here's where you can help:

1) I like playing BG2 without ranged weapons, because they make the game too (ch)easy - is this feasible in IWD? (I dont mind a challenge)

2) There is a mod which 'allows level 8 and 9 spells to be written to the spellbook'. You mean without this mod, all 8 and 9 spells can only be read from scrolls? Even with HoW and Trials installed? So I am tempted to install this mod, unless someone recommends otherwise...

In general I am intending to 'role-play' instead of trying to powergame, and I'm grateful if anyone can answer the questions before I start!

1.) Yes, it is possible to beat the game without ranged weapons, even when soloing as a non fighter.

2.) There is such a mod, however, installing HoW will also allow you to cast level eight and nine spells.

Great! I am really looking forward to this game. Thanks for quick reply
