Hail all,
I'm a huge fan of the Baldur's Gate series, but I skipped Icewind Dale. I just picked it up today, and I'm going to start playing later on. I'm going to try using 'hardcore roleplaying' rules that I've heard others talk about. For instance, not re-rolling the dice roll or changing the character's stats. I'm not quite sure about permadeath because I know first hand from BG that there are some nasty spells that if unprepared, can take your whole party out. But if that resides in the hardcore roleplaying rules; I'll give it a try. I was wondering if anyone knows of other rules I can abide by. Also, do I choose a class and profession based on the character's stats, or do I choose their class/profession beforehand. Any suggestions/help would be most appreciated.
With the new Diablo II patch comming out *cough* relatively soon, I'm going to also trying roleplaying it more. Anybody have suggestions on roleplaying in D2? I've done a party with paladins only, which was quite fun (but too easy).
