Hello, I want to say I know nothing about the game. I didn't want to spoil myself, so I deliberately never read anything about it before I buy and play it, except some news that I considered safe, like what's been fixed in a patch.
But some tidbits I've heard, something about multiple difficulties above normal, for example, and multiple "mage-like" classes.
I always play games above normal difficulty, typically the highest, because normal usually means "relaxed", which translates into not enough need to use the tactical side of the game. As a rule, it works out, there were two games it didn't work out with for me, and those were specific cases from the horror genre, which I swear should rename their normal to hard and hard to "deliberately not designed to be the first playthrough". In RPGs I usually like to play a mage as a main character, their offensive power is most varied of all classes.
1) Is it going to work out in this case? If I pick the highest difficulty and a mage, can I get through the beginning of the game until I've gathered a party? (which is always the worst part for weaklings such as mages)
2) There are other characters with mage abilities, and I'd like to play the one with most extensive spell list and is NOT a buffer by design, e.g. like in Drakensang with its weak magic. That should be a mage, right?
3) Is there an invisibility spell? Is the spell list as varied as in BG2?
4) What's the difference between higher difficulties?
Thanks
