What rules do you use?

[Nevermore]

I've finished again Book I and when i'll have time, then i will play gain Book II too.

What rules do you use in your games? All? Minimum, without any complications?

I'm going to insert them all, but I haven't decided yet.

Sometimes I leave off the save limitations, because they can be annoying, but otherwise I tend to play with all the options turned on.

Yeah, same as Kreador here. I use them all except the save limitation, because if I need to go somewhere and leave the computer, I like to save so I can turn it off (and conserve energy).

I've decided to go this run with all the rules on. I didn't do that, so I like to try a more challenging and fun character. In my case a Virtuous Healer, who I never pick up in any of my games both in Book I and II.

My first play through of Book II that I tried, I died of hunger before reaching the second town. So, I played through it without the need for food once. After that, I played my Unarmed Combat expert, who while technically needing food, had enough HP that I could go several days without eating. The Unarmed Combat expert was the only playthrough I have done so far with all of the rules turned on, but also the most enjoyable. I recently got Eschalon back on my computer (After my brother wiped it), and will probably be trying a mage with all rules again.

Little update: i gave up with the healer and I picked up a Magick User.

About the only one i cant stand is hunger so i usually play with hunger and thirst off.

But, unlike most everyone, i also havent done multiple playthroughs of either game. (but i take my time and inspect every inch of most every map lol)

mostly i just have way too many games to finish and have started even more without a full playthrough

I go with the usual house rules: hunger and equipment wear. Hunger and thirst are easily quenched with magic and equipment wear is almost nonexistent with repair.
