Hello everyone! I am new on this site. And it looks like many people still play this good old game. I watched few interesting walks on this forum and decided to make my own. So let me introduce: Crag Hack the Barbarian!

[IMG]https://i.imgur.com/aX2c5N9.jpg[/IMG]

I named him after one of my favorite characters from another good old game - Heroes 3.

Rules
1. Hardcore
2. Players 8 all the time
3. No ladder rune words
4. Normal size of stash
5. Single Pass - I am not allowed to rerun any areas or act bosses
6. No mercenary - once my first merc (rogue, from quest reward) dies I am not allowed to resurect her or hire another one.
7. Never escape to town to avoid death. True nords never back down) I am not allowed TP for healing, potions or repair during battle, including act bosses fights.
8. No reroll ancients- Doesn't matter if they will Cursed, Extra Strong or Extra Fast. Crag Hack will fight them with honor until they or he will die.
9. I am not allowed to colect quest rewards from previous difficulty. So once i started Nightmare i can't add socket from Larzuk on Normal for example.
10. Save and exit - only in town
11. No skill/stat reset. - old school style)

Plan
1. Keep as much MF as possible, during Normal at least - to get better equipment.
2. Hork everything - for same reason
3. Weapons. I am not sure about weapon. Probably I will cube savage polearm as soon as possible. I think I will not touch mastery until Nightmare. It depends - what items I can get. If I get Woestave - I probably continue to use polearms, with Twitchthroe or good Safety amulet - I can go Sword/Shield, with angelic combo - probably 2H axes, beacause they require low dex and with angelics I will have already a lot of AR. We shall see.
4. Get Malice weapon and keep it with me for prevent health regeneration and OW mods, very useful vs fat possesed monsters. Maybe i will use it also vs act bosses - to cut their defense.
5. Keep Cube and some Ort and Ral runes with me - if i need to repair my equipment during battle.
6. Stack some PDR items also seems like a good idea.
7. Keep a lot rejuvs))

So it will my solo Ironman challenge) I am going to test my luck and D2 skills. I hope it will be interesting. We shall se how far can I get with such hard rules. Maybe adventures of Crag Hack will end with normal Andariel?))

PS I never use imgur.com for posting screenshots. I hope it works.

Sounds very hard, good luck!

Strange thing, but i can't see the screenshot, which I put in post. To see it, I have to copy/paste link in new window. Maybe I am doing something wrong...
Lets try another one.

Welcome Sir Crag Hack - Heroes 3 my favorite game of all time, do you play Horn of the Abyss? Good luck with your walk, I made a quite similar one for my first, though certainly not as hard restrictions.

Here you go

Jorquandre,
Yep, I played Horn of the Abyss, but didn't like it much. I prefer Shadow of Death. Anyway, it is time for Diablo 2 now)


TakeNote,
Thanks a lot. Now this thread doesnt look so naked)

Aw that's too bad I think it's amazing, a professionally done fan made expansion with balance changes, I love it. It looks like you should be able to post images now, also if you hit the quote button next to someone's post it will give them notification that you replied.

Jorquandre, thx for advice.

So, I spent some time commenting on crafted and rare items posted by people in trophy room. (Obviously Crag Hack will find and craft something better.) Now I have 15 posts and we can begin our adventure.


Let's start comepletly untwinked.)


There is a new popular sport these days - Bare-knuckle boxing. Crag Hack prefers to kick the zombie's ass with his bare fists.
