Is there a category for playing with high level characters? That would be the fastest way to play i think 🤔
we were debating making an extreme category with NG+ characters but never reached a conclusion on exact ruling, as well as overall not too much of an interest at the time
Drizzt is essentially a NG+ category. The time saves are diminishing after that, though I suppose they could be better with slightly better boss fights. I think the issue is determining how to establish the rules for such a category. Do we allow max level characters or no? Maybe a premade level 20 character using the level 20 cheat? I think the former makes the most sense, but it also calls difficulty choice into question as well.
I'd encourage you to make a proof of concept run either way, as it's the best way to generate interest.
I'd like to try running this game and I think this could be a fun category
I think the best way would be to add an extreme mode and drizzt extreme modes where you can use whatever character at whatever level. no one would run with less than a max level character obviously but it wouldnt necessarily need to be a rule
I've been considering a NG+ run myself and I think the best course of action is NG+ and NG+ NLM. The former essentially being NG+ for easy through hard, and the latter being NG+ for extreme (as you can't abuse imports anyways, and start the game with loading in a previous character, unlike NG+ easy-hard).
Nothing set in stone though. Currently my focus will just be on a regular NG+, maybe an extreme run as well.
That sounds good
we could do extreme and extreme nlm for level 1 runs through extreme, that might be fun
My idea for NG+ NLM was that it would essentially be an extreme only mode, since extreme is the only mode that forces you to import before starting the timer/game.
NG+ category added. Will add NG+ NLM when I or someone else puts together a run to submit.
@Ceeloud moved your run to NG+ awaiting verification. I'll get NG+ runs verified this weekend
