>I just don't want to play an easy game. I enjoy games like Diablo for the challenge of it all, working hard to reach the top, you know?
In some ways, HF was harder than HF:F. But not necessarily more challenging. That sounds like doubletalk, so let me explain. The things that made it harder are not necessarily well designed. Spell blocking may look good on paper, but in practice it made it annoying at best, and crippled some classes and builds, at worst.
And in other ways, HF was a lot easier than HF:F, for the same above reasons. With the AC wrap around bug, my Warrior could use any weapons and connect with high AC monsters. A sword of Haste is just as good as a KsoH in Nightmare - Hell\Hell.
Some of the changes to Unique weapons are mostly boosted to 'useable' quality. If we're going by clvl 35+ and up is high level for a character, then most would fall somewhere around mid-level weapons.
Good luck on the lottery and hope you have fun with the mod.
(Just to show how unbiased my opinions are. ;) HF:F and HF: The Dark basically made my Hellfire purchase very worthwhile. Ymmv.)
edited: If I read you right, you haven't found much white (non magic\unique) items yet? If this continues, that is weird. I doubt the creators of this mod wanted a non-stop treasure fest. When I have some spare time I'll create a new Warrior to see if he has your luck.
