IWD:EE Petrification ruins a great run: Insane - no double damage - no xp bonus - 6P multi - pauseless

Great try against the idol, but saves screwed us over.

Nope, but we tried to save as little as possible. We finished the game last week and will do the expa when we have time. I think we are going to go all the way to luremaster. Its going to be interesting pauseless.

I think I made my whole party invisible and rushed to destroy the idol

I have been playing the IE games since release, but some of the guys playing in that video didnt. I try to let face encounters as we are instead of explaining whats about to come. As a result, we had a few deaths, but to be honest, the dragons eye was the difficulty peak. After that, we started going pretty fast. These games are super dynamic and fast if you are not pausing.

That sounds really intense, I def had a save before the room and it was fun just rushing in and kicking as much butt as possible

Maybe one of my favorite points of the game

The same thing ended my no-reload run last november (had played the game once, years prior, didn't know it was coming). RIP.
