HoF too easy?

Greeting, friends.

I wanted to ask for your opinion on something:
few years ago I completed IWD 2 on normal difficulty and saved the characters. lately i decided to start the game again, this time in HoF mode, using the imported characters, as the game/developers suggest. All my characters are around level 15.

However, I noticed that they are ridiculously powerful, at least for the first part of the game (it got so boring I didn't continue). not only that, but they arrive with some very powerful weapons (+4 to +6, for some of them). even the normal mode is more difficult. at least there your characters have one-digit HP and can be easily killed.

Now, either I was pretty good in my first run, or I'm doing something wrong.

What do you think?

Thanks!

 

You were good. While the goblins on the docks were deceptively easy, the Palisade was still a challenge, as was the rest.

I had something similar happen to me a while ago.

I would give it a try if you say that after the docks things getting tougher. But there's still the feeling of pointlessness because of no progression. I mean, your characters already have access to high level spells and carry +6 weapons - did you get a rewarding feeling after beating the bosses, for example?

 

I don't recall getting a lot of +5 or +6 weapons in normal mode, but it has been a few years since I played all the way to the end. I thought even the best stuff generally only went to +4 in normal mode.
HoF mode is more to give your high-level characters a challenge than anything, but the items are almost all boosted in stats if they are not already +5 or +6.
