I dont understand why people are so harsh on the OP for posting what they impose on their OWN playthrough of the game. That would be like me talking down on everyone who plays with their party in underwear because they like to look at pixel boobs all day. Hey you do you.
I would like to play with the base 5e character creation rules but I cant because Larian took away the original attribute bonuses after release. Which flat out sucks.
I have an ironman playthrough where I have no quick saves, one active save and if they die and I have no scrolls to rez them they stay dead, on tactician difficulty.
