Just curious, I was thinking of trying this.
On Warrior mode but you can use spells, just no ranged weapons.
The ranged weapons almost make the game to easy.

I think that ranged wepons are only very helpful in the beginning of the game up til somewhere around red dwarf mines. After that they only become marginally useful. Once above level 15 or so the damage they do (compared to mellee weapons) becomes negligible.

Ranged weapons are nice, especially when mopping up lower level mobs.
But, I think more of my battles are won with melee. I think it's entirely feasible to do a melee only run.
And of course, there's the mobs that shoot back, or cast spells. It's often worth jumping or teleporting to them just to get into melee range.
The thing I find that makes the game far more easy is temporary levels!

I think I did when I was a teenager. But I have to keep the reason why secret.

Was it because you didn't know how to shoot bows? I bet it was because you didn't know how to shoot bows.

Reminds me of when I played MM2 and didn't know you can hit "M" for the automap, and instead I cast the "Location" spell every time I wanted to see the map. Except I can't use the excuse of being young because it was just a few years ago. Oops.
