    Umm you can't turn your normal game to HoF as far as I know. You have to RE-START a game with HoF enabled in the configure program.

    Here is my advice, beat the game normally, import your characters and restart with them in HoF, and have a lot of fun as they are slaughtered by goblins.(ofcourse, don't let this fact discourage you oh brave and bold adventurer!)

    Goblins that are more powerful then a dead person is scarey and beware hero of the frozen lands that nobody likes cause they freeze to death EVERYTHING IS SUPER HARD!

    By goblins having more power then a dead person I mean they have 100+ HP and they can do more then 2 damage :eek: it's scarey! But if you get the Goblin Slayer dagger and abuse the game so you get more Goblin Slayer daggers without cheating then you'll be alright.

    HoF is like IWD2 on steroids....and lots of steroids.

    *EDIT* I would be at least lvl 16 or 17 before attemping HoF because a team of lvl 15 will be destroyed in seconds

    but when i export my old characters they are at level 1. So does it matter do i make new characters or import old ones? and in the config it says that you should turn HoF on when you are about level 15.

    You can export and import your characters whenever you like, so if you feel like it just export your characters, (remember their character file names) enable HoF in configuration, start a new game, in character creation screen select IMPORT and choose your old characters.

    HOWEVER, for more healthy and balanced game play, finish the game normally, in the endgame it will export your characters automatically, enable HoF, start new game, IMPORT your saved charactes and voila! Get started to being chopped by goblins!

    PS:If you buy the dagger GoblinSlayer from Enchanter elven lady they will be ridiculously easy, just send a improved invisible character equipped with it and slay each and avery goblin in one hit!!! (palissade battle becomes a complete joke!)

    SAVE that dagger as it works on TOUGH Half-GoblinHordlings in HordeFortress and beyond, even near the end of the HoF (CAPTAIN PUDU!!! :D ). (normal horldings do a little amount of 108+damage on a critical hit) (smashed my paladin into tiny pieces of meat once as I had disposed that dagger earlier :( )

    In your main IWD II folder is the Configuration program. Its third tab has a difficulty slider. Under this slider is the HoF check-box.
    An old game now saved in HoF should spawn HoF monsters and items in all further yet to be visited areas. Areas already visited will remain the same. I can't check it now since my CD is bust. :(

    If you are in Chapter 5, don't bother. You have missed quite a few very good items. If the game is getting to be too easy for you just move the difficulty to Insane.

    If you are only doing this for the items, the ease-of-use mod has a component to introduce HoF items into a normal game. Beware that this will unbalance the game.

    Yes, just enable the HOF mode will allow you to play it, no matter how far you are into the game. I would recommend against it though, since you've missed most of the necessary world-shattering items by then and won't be able to kill anything without them.
