Ironman mode?

erm ok i beat normal mode.. i guess ironman mode is a harder version? does it have anything new in it?

 

basically it disables the "save game" feature (except when you quit, where it automatically bookmarks your progress and lets you resume when you restart the game) and it also prevents you from re-rolling any of your dice rolls.

 

Its not worth it

I had the game randomly crash on me and lost 5-6 hours of ironman progress. Thats when I gave up on ironman, lol.

 

Ironman puts hairs on your chest while removing them from your skull

 

damn odd option to add to thier buggy game if you ask me! ;P thank the gods i found this website or i would be using the play disc as a coaster!

 

Besides, anyone with a modicum of willpower could enforce the same rules on their own, if that's the kind of game they really wanted to play.

 

yeah, that's true. if they really wanted a "higher difficulty" mode, they should have done what Interplay/Bioware did with their InfinityEngine games and have toggle switches which allow monsters to have 50%/100% more hitpoints, use more nasty AI routines, across-the-board 20% improvement in AC's, etc.

i am glad that Liv's mod has a higher difficulty setting though. right now in my first play-through of ToEE (without LivMod), I'm having a remarkably easy time in the actual Temple. Maybe its because i spent too much time reading the ToEE forums before playing the actual game - and I already have too much of that "good advice" in my head.
