The gnome Gus, he looks like he can handle himself pretty well. Stiller I don't know about.

I have faith in both.

That's really a great creation Al!

How many of you fellers are playing on the 'easy storytelling' mode? I am soon starting a game and want to gauge how difficult it really is. The interwebs go either way.

Balanced.  Just don't forget to save often and don't count on autosave.

I'm using the noob level and still get my ass handed to me.

I asked Minsc and all he would say is, "Evil round every corner. Careful not to step in any". I don't know if that helps or not.

You can change the difficulty level at any moment.

At balanced I do lose some battles, but usually 1 restart is enough.

Examine the enemies resistances and vulnerabilities and change your weapons to something that does more damage. 
E.g. There is a boss fight you will have a hard time to win unless your team uses bludgeoning weapons (his only real weakness).

Thanks Pete.

It also helps to use environmental stuff to your advantage.  You'll find grease bottles all over the world, grab em any time you can - they're basically medieval Molotov cocktails.  Throw one down in the middle of a group of enemies, then use a free Fire Cantrip to light them up.  Great way to chip down a bunch of them at the same time.

Thanks al
