I did see an error message when I started a save game sometime way back. I think it was one of the earlier patches. I would have thought by now my hero would have used all those arrows though. I normally have one npc using a sword and one using a bow. I have found this combo works well for those hit and run mages.
I suppose it is possible a few of those older arrows were still in the present saved game. But I think it is doubtful.
I only keep red and white potions. Both of my npcs are warriors. I haven't used any magic. As yet I haven't even used any gems. While I have seen the specs on them I just haven't found a need to apply them to a weapon.
I am in Act 3 and sometimes I don't even get any exp for the monsters there. Mostly this is in the Battlefield area. I do get exp on the regular map. My hero suffers very little damage. The DK takes most of the punishment. I think he has over 130 Healing potions.
I also haven't used any of the summoning dolls yet either. With over 300K in gold why bother taking all the loot? I leave more items on the ground than I take now. I only take the unidentified items out of curiousity.
In fact I haven't used any of the points I earned 2 levels back yet. I only apply them if I start to take on damage or find a weapon or armor that demands higher stats.
I do think DD was more challenging. Maybe just because it was the first in the series?
