I feel like the ''no friendly fire'' is just an easy mode, casual thing. Its like, doesn't matter what you throw or how you play, you can't make mistake . Remove some strategy of the game IMHO.
Agreed, and it removes not just strategy but also hilarity, if you're playing MP co-op. My wife and I played through the BG games and DOS 1 and 2 together. Some of the most fun we had in those games was when we'd accidentally set each other's characters on fire, or some other AOE effect.
That can still happen with surface effects here, but fireball and similar ranged spells were the best for accidental mayhem.
