Divorce difficulty factors

Nihilus

I know that this has been requested a number of times in the past, but as far as I can see from my searches, no definite answer has ever been given. Please forgive me if I am wrong.

My request is this: Let the difficulty slider be about only the damage monsters do. For maximum HP, permanent death and spell learning, let's have three separate, togglable options.

I'll be honest, I thought you were seeking marriage advice.

"Divorce Difficulty Factors."

What the heck? What's a thread about marriage advice doing in the Feature Requests section?

*actually opens thread and reads the OP*

OHHHHHHHH Okay. The world makes sense again.

Hahaha, I was gonna be like "You aren't supposed to sleep with Aerie the first time!"

Amusing as it would be for me to be a smartarse and go on about the various definitions of the words 'divorce' and 'factors' which could make various nonsensical interpretations of the OP I would simply (and politely) like to ask "Why?" - wouldn't it just make things even more confusing for people who are new to the game (especially HP options which are difficult enough for newbies to get their heads around at the best of times).

I married Viconia, it didn't end well.

The title implications cannot have been an accident.

On topic. Yes. It would give tactic mod makers a blessing for difficulty-scaled encounters.

As you say yourself, Baldur's Gate will remain confusing to newbies in any case. At the very least, we could have these options in the Baldur.ini file if not within the game interface.

All jokes aside, I support these requests 100%.
Max HP on level-up has its own button in IWD, doesn't it? It can't be that difficult.

I see what you mean now, a sort of 'second level' of option settings that the individual player can access and tweak if they want to - makes sense.

Can I hope to get an official confirmation (or rejection) here as to whether something along the lines of these changes will ever be implemented in the game?
