Is there any way to up the difficult as in the avernum series? I'm looking to play an exile 2 game through on torment, but I can't find out how to make it more difficult...

I'm pretty sure the "difficulty setting" didn't come in until after the ET. A number of folks around here can suggest ways that you can limit yourself in order to make your game harder, though. :P

Well, I'm pretty sure that passing it with a one man party would be posible, assuming you go a poison fighter with priest spells, buying a lot of the skills from the venders around southern exile that provide them. I'm just looking more for a 6 party challenge ^_^

That's unfortunate though.

Oh, please. Singletons are so passe. Some people even find them easier. :P

Try to do it without magic entirely. Or without spending any money on anything ever. Or... well, you get the idea.

The Exile games (or at least BoE; not sure about the others, but probably E3 as well) do have a somewhat simplistic difficulty system, in that you can select the "Make game easier" option in Preferences to halve the HP of all monsters.

As for making things harder... well, try to win with a party consisting entirely of archers. Once you get your first bow or crossbow, never use any other weapon or spell.

I'll try with the full archer team. One question though: Allowed to use poison?

Hmm... sure, why not. Alchemy too, if you want. It'll be fun to see if you can make anything useful out of Exile's 3 most canonically useless skills. :P

Interesting indeed, Where is first aid when I need it? ^_^

Oh, for good measure though, I'll have a person with level 1 priest spells and 50SP to cast ritual when needed :)

They are once you level them up a bit. In the end, they aren't as good though. The only plus is you get all the experience for that guy.

True, but I never had much of a problem with experience in E2... I mean, my characters didn't hit the cap, but they were certainly the most dangerous thing in the caves.
