Hey I thought you guys might enjoy watching me and my friend try to play Baldur’s Gate 1 enhanced iron man style, i.e. without ever reloading, except when we take a break and resume. So if our main character dies in a fight, we will delete the savegame and that run will be over. Likewise, if Imoen gets shredded by an unlucky crit, well we’re just going to have to live with that.

We chose mage for our first run. Playing the enhanced edition so many years later after vanilla BG feels different. It’s very strange to summon a familiar in candlekeep.

Anyways we will surely die. If anyone has advice for no reload runs, we would be glad to hear it. We are aware of some basic tricks like evermemory at friendly arm, and alginon’s cloak and so on, but we also have some glaring holes in our knowledge of the game. Especially the parts in cloakwood with the bandits and the mine. I have like no recollection of that part, but I remember it being hard. We also know nothing about the EE npc quests, like dorn etc. Tips for these things would be very much appreciated.
