There seem to be various mods that promise to fix the combat scripts: enemies will use their full arsenal and *smartly*.

I use some restrictions for myself: no haste potions, no stats boosted to well over 20, no throwing potions, etc. If I think it shouldn't be in the game, I don't like to use it.

An innate problem is that there's an achievement for honour mode... and that it is not only a difficulty setting. Beating Honor mode means you've mastered the mechanics of the game and beaten it "honorably". Nothing less, nothing more. It's not designed to make you *suffer*.

I've not had time to test various mods, but they seem promising for people who want a proper "unfair" difficulty.
