Quote:HCNM is Hardcore Naked Mage. You have the hardcore part down. There's no real point in cheating, because I play like this as a "variant" to make it more challenging. As you suggested, I simply restart my character when I die. The Naked Mage part just means that I don't wear any equipment whatsoever at any time. A friend of mine has gotten to level 25 or so, and beat normal. I'd like to try to beat Nightmare as well, but it's a very skill intensive variant.
Yeah, that sounds incredibly hard. I think I'll worry about killing Diablo first, haha. The last time I killed Diablo was when I was 10, 11 years old and was... not exactly legit. Not even close. Luckily I quickly realized that cheating just wasn't the way to go, and Diablo was the first and only game I ever cheated in. And it's been great fun coming back to it legitimately now all these years later.
