HoF...kind of a dumb question maybe

Rahvin · Post by **Rahvin** » Mon Feb 17, 2003 12:22 pm

What is HoF mode? Does it add on, or make the game go longer, or anything? Should I have started a game in HoF instead of normal? What are the differences? Thanks...

Its a difficulty multipler above "insane" level.

Monsters have more than x2 hit points, better to hit rolls etc. You get ridiculous XP for killing Goblins even.

Oh ok, I thought maybe it was like an expansion or something...above insane, no thanks...I have trouble on normal half the time lol. Thanks!

Can anybody point me out a thread or just reply, how is it one actually imports old charactors in the Heart of Fury mode

1) Export you char(s).
2) Set difficulty to HoF in the configuration tool ("general" tab)
3) Start new game, import your char(s) from 1) during char creation
4) Prepare to be chopped by the first group of goblins you encounter

its that bad 'eh? When we import, does it import the levels so we could start at lvl 16 or whatever?

Levels and item except containers and quest items I think.

cheating

but it's like cheating! (to import charecters and play with them at the first level of the game)
I think it's better to start youre team with 1st level, and to continue playing your team as they advance.

well if its as hard as they say it is, its not really that bad is it?

I got another question unrelated to all this:The premade parties have little names, is there a way to name my party?

One last question, How do you export char(s)?

Sabre · Post by **Sabre** » Tue Feb 18, 2003 6:51 pm

- Select the character you want to export
- Open the Record screen - quill on parchment icon
- Click Export
- Type in a name - I usually use the character name, make it easier to know which file is which character
- Click Done
- Repeat for other characters.

if you could name your party it will be great...

Rahvin · Post by **Rahvin** » Wed Feb 19, 2003 10:26 am

Gruntboy · Post by **Gruntboy** » Wed Feb 19, 2003 3:37 pm

Don't think its possilble.

lonely wolf · Post by **lonely wolf** » Thu Feb 20, 2003 1:04 pm

but can't somebody do something? (like a patch)

Patrick · Post by **Patrick** » Thu Feb 20, 2003 9:47 pm

Technical questions, I am strongly considering replaying IWD2 again but in heart of fury mode, how many charactors from my first time playing should I import. Like all or half maby two or one? Also will a 20 plus+ level spell caster get 9th and 10th level spells?

Sabre · Post by **Sabre** » Fri Feb 21, 2003 5:24 am

I would say that you import your whole party, because the monsters are extremely hard.

About the spell caster thing, which class are you refering to? Bard's highest level is 8, which they get at level 26; Cleric, level 9 at level 17; Druid, 9 at 17; Paladin, 6 at 29; Ranger, 6 at 29; Sorcerer, 9 at 18; and Wizard, 9 at 17.

There is no level 10 spells.
