Hey I know this isn't a bug or anything, so this is probably the wrong forum, but I know BigMoshi will see it if I go here

Just a quick question... is there any way to make the game a little more... challenging?  I'm finding the game a way too easy now that I'm a ways into it.  I've cleared all the wilderness areas, done Restenford, done all the chapters up and including the Cloakwood... but I haven't entered BG city yet.  I decided here that before going in to BG I'd do some TotSC stuff (note... I have NOT done any DSotSC stuff because I do not wish to break up my party just for Jet'laya).  First big TotSC quest I do is the far northern ice cave dungeon.  Now, I've noticed for quite a while the the game was getting too easy, but this place took the cake.  I literally WALKED right through the place, even the mages that are in there.  Now, I remember this place being a hell of a fight.  So yeah, just wondering if anything can be done... it's too bad the difficulty slider does crap all... monsters doing 50% more or 100% more damage doesn't mean squat when they're not hitting you to begin with!

P.S. average party level is around 7 or 8.

Ding0 Experience Fixer?

[bigmoshi]

Oi! Greeeedric You can tweak SimDing0's xp fixer (which is shown as xpmod in your weidu.log) to 25-50%, which was defaulted it to 75% already. Anyway, the level of difficulty is subjective depending on your playing style.

Stability is the key focus right now for me, as you got to get the pillar right before decorating your house. You can try Ursurper's no reload challenge if you like hehe

Edit: Btw, if you are going to try to tweak that xpfixer, remember to backup your files before doing so (PS: I know you don't have the habit of backing up). Just note that even when you uninstall and reinstall the exact same components, it feels like sometimes your string references can get scrambled.

Yes, clean backups for unmodded games are necessary. However, backuping a modded installation, which is already unstable/bugged/potentially scrambled - that's something I really, really wouldn't do and wouldn't recommend to do. A patched, unmodded game is stable. "Use my install, and only my install, and if you change it/add something else on top, you're screwed" is definitely not.
