Powergaming / proportional challenge and reward / Heart of Fury mode

domagoj_zg

I know this game should be enjoyed by new and young RPG players also, but please include something like "Heart of Fury" mode in Icewind Dale. For experienced players BG enemies are joke. I soloed hardest BG2 mods like Tactics and they are doable after some thinking. Anyway, making super hard mode or not, difficulty slider should give proportional reward in XP and loot eventually to make sense in taking tactical aproach. Thank you.

Wouldn't providing more experience in a "harder" difficulty cause quicker leveling up, resulting in higher levels and more party/Charname power? I feel that granting more experience while playing in a harder difficulty/difficulty increasing mod would eventually work against the intent of a more challenging playthrough.

If a kobold deals double damage its irrelevant for a 10th lvl char., so, xp reward must be scaled obviously and it is so in HOF mode. If you can, try IWD like this.
