Heart of Fury mode

[Commander Stab]

Hello,

Just wondering, if we set Heart of Fury mode on in Icewind Dale II, will the patch turn the difficulty  for Baldur's Gate II up as well? What about the XP scaling? I presume there wouldn't be upgraded weapons, but that's OK because BG2 has some ridiculously powerful weapons anyway.

If this doesn't happen, then is this patch compatible with other "improved difficulty" patches?

Thanks for your time,
Commander Stab

Hey there,

First off, this mod was never really made playable.  There were too many technical difficulities in porting from the BG2 engine to the IWD2 engine (joinable PC's was the show stopper IIRC).  If you try to play the mod "as is" in normal mode, you will find it very difficult.  The monster's stats are way up there.  In HoF mode it would probably be completely impossible.
