    [​IMG] I just beat the game last night, and after watching the final little movie, I had to leave immediately. So I haven't actually tried to do this yet.

    How do I go about getting my party to start over in HoF mode? TIA

    Congratulations ! :banana:
    I'd just export the characters and reimport them when you start the new HoF game.

    Do you mind introducing your heroes who saved the north and tell about their special experiences so that bards can sing about their glorious deeds ? :smash: :smash: :smash: :banana: :banana: :banana:

    I'll tell y'all all about it in a bit, but how do I export characters? I can't find any "final save" as I have in the Baldur's Gate games (like when I exported from BG1 to BG2). Weird.

    First, congratulations for beating the game! Last fight was cool, eh?

    The game auto-exports the final state of your characters when you beat it. Look for IWD2-tagged character files and import them into a HoF game.

    Enable HoF from Configuration screen (when the game is not running) start a new game, import your characters and have fun! HoF is still fun most of the time! :thumb:

    Watch out, those high lvl heroes who saved the North from terrible demons are about to cry when they face HoF goblins! :hahaerr:

    I got it to work.

    I manually exported them after replaying the final battle (there's a period of time after killing Isair and Madae before you leave the tower and trigger the ending movie to do this). I couldn't figure out any other way of doing it.

    Man, HoF is tough!

    Thanks for the help guys. :)

    HoF isn´t tough.Is Hell on hearth if you are not well prepared and well aware of the difference between your party and the rest of the enemy monstrs(even those lousy 1HD goblins of Targos).The most of the times, you are going to hit the "reload" button much more than "level" one.

    Actually HoF isn't that tough, especially the earlier parts.
    Summons which you don't get in normal mode before the end can now be sent versus little goblins and similar weaklings, additional available "save or die" spells like mass dominate can make most of the game even easier than your first run.
