LAST EDITED ON Nov-05-02 AT 12:39 PM (Pacific)I am playing it very cautiously. The team was level 9, with xray, before they set foot out of the Monastery. I used blinding flash and sleep much more effectively the 2nd time out of the Monastery!
WE wouldn't have to get around IronMan if the monsters wouldn't attack with no sense of self-preservation. When you injure a normal predator it retreats, because injury means starvation and death. These things fight to the death, or flee for their life then come back alone and fight to the death. If the game were more realistic I might consider playing it more realistically. But then it would be boring and I wouldn't bother playing it.
And, if they really wanted to make it IronMan they would track the savegame names and times in a separate file (or registry entry) so they could detect "backup manipulation" and they would save the game in the middle of a battle. Which is why I wondered about "something" happening later.

), but that's it. Disease, draining, death all get fixed within the rules of the game. It certainly makes you play different. Chameleon becomes useful as does blinding flash (neither of which I found much use for playing a regular game). Sneaking and running become a necessary way of life.
