Oi !
So I just finished a BG1EE Playthrough in what I call a 'Playtrue' - hard mode, no reload, no metagame preparations (e.g. go into an ambush unbuffed even if you personally know the game will bring it)
Considering that I last played BG1 as a kid, it was surprisingly "easy" - I actually failed only once and voluntarily restarted once, not counting things like an instant one-hit-kill of CHARNAME lvl 2 by a mass bandit waylay before even the invis pot triggered, and glitches.
BG2 however is tearing me apart and I have no solid idea why. CHARNAME is, surprisingly, fine ! But the increased hp and damage pool seems to chunk my party members in an insanely frequent manner. In fact more often than normal deaths.
I am seeking advice on anything game mechanic related. Mechanics only that is - I want to prevent meta knowledge. I hardlt remember anything of traps and encounters and thats as it should be.
