My other half played it as his first playthrough and its pretty brutal. Within about a day he discovered a bunch of articles online saying never do it for your first go!

The problem is I want to do a hardcore mode tactician playthrough on my second attempt. And that seems like a recipe for disaster

That's good to know! I'd hate to accidentally lose the rest of my party and not get the full experience 😂

It'd be great if it went both ways - so include friendly fire then tank your companions' luck, and watch as your companions pose as much of a threat as the enemy!

I feel like resist the Dark Urge and save scum to force good outcomes is probably the best way to play if you're only going to do one playthrough.

I went completionist, save-scum, see-everything mode for my first playthrough in order to liberate myself for a heedless, evil, everyone-gets-killed, tactician mode Durge on my second. Only downside is I've no idea if I'll actually have the time/eagerness to complete it, so may not ever see any of the Dark Urge stuff, which is meant to be amazing.
