Not many solo hardcore players around here - too bad.

After dozens of restarts i have come to the conclusion that only heavy self restrictions will save the game from getting too easy. Even my naked no LW/GC-Beggar-Style-Mage got too boring somewhere in Act 2 and i stopped it again.

At the moment i am thinking about a Source Slayer run that uses the same restrictions as the Wizard Slayer in BG. No magic at all except for magical weapons, helms and body armor. And surely no LW as its borderline OP. With Polymorph - but without Invisibilty Cheese - this maybe could make Tactic Mode finally interesting again. Maybe i will give it a try in the next days.

BtW: Has anyone tried out a minimal-kill-run? I stopped mine in Act 2 and am wondering what the minimum number of kills would be at the end.
