No minimaps.
Limited resting.
Remove ALL fast travel locations.
Remove 25% of all Magic items (the over powered or useless stuff). Remove ALL duplicates.
Remove 75% of potions and scrolls.
Increase all item prices by 200%.
Remove 25% of all gold in the world.

Proper creature stats and levels (increased)...why? :

BG3 Beholder(Spectator):
Level 5(???), just 4 ABILITIES and dark vision/opportunity attack.

BG2 Beholder:
Level 9
Has 9 ABILITIES! (Anti-Magic Ray , Serious Wound Ray, Paralysis Ray, Charm Person Ray, Fear Ray, Flesh to Stone Ray, Domination Ray, Slow Ray ,Death Ray). Has IMMUNITIES to 9 conditions (Backstab, Entangle, Grease ,Hold Creature, Paralyze, Power Word, Stun, Slow ,Stun, Web.) And 1 SPECIAL ability : Free action.


Casual modern gamers be like: jawdrop cry lol

Something like that anyways. I know, Larian will never have the balls to do something like that. Some kind of "Retro BG" hard mode smile
I applaud Obsidian for doing something very similar to this in PoEII Deadfire.

That said I'm absolutely NOT interrested in a 1 savegame mode. I just want combats to be more challenging without having to use a "tactician +" mod.

We told them during 3 years that the game was a lot too easy due to all these unbalanced mechanics...
First time someone sayed something reasonable.
I would like to have bg1-2 difficulty and combat encounters.
