I wonder if you mind (and noticed) that they loose their first turn if you do that. smile

I find this an acceptable tradeoff because the alternative gives me too much advantage.

I can totally understand doing homebrew restrictions from a loreful,thematic or common sense (like taking Lae’Zel’s armour) perspective but relinquishing the use of what seems to be primarily Larian’s homebrew would suggest that they have erred in including some of those mechanics in the first place?

Personally I don't like a lot of those mechanics so I don't use them. I fully expect that there will be mods that will eliminate or at least tone them down which I will happily install after full release when Larian will provide support for mods. I also would not be surprised to learn that those of us who do relinquish them are likely a small minority amongst all of the people that play the game.

Strange logic but whatever. Can’t say I’ve ever played a game where I policed my use of game mechanics, that’s the point I’m trying to make.

I have done this to some extent in nearly every game I have ever played either through mods or by not using some features, mostly I do so to give the AI a bit of help, or because something just seems unrealistic/off. On the other hand I have also been known to mash out "how do you turn this on" 8 times in rapid succession while playing AOE II.
