90-hour Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Honor Mode run lost to unquenchable thirst Larian StudiosYet another Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Honor Mode run has been lost because a player couldn\u2019t resist the temptation of a \u2018romance\u2019 scene. For the uninitiated, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s notorious Honor Mode ratchets up the difficulty with beefier enemies and more difficult combat encounters. It also limits you to a single save so that your game is over for good once your party bites the dust. It\u2019s not uncommon to end an Honor Mode run thanks to a minor miscalculation in combat. Of course, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s D&D-inspired mechanics can also kill you with a conversation. As such, it\u2019s always best to be extra careful when experimenting with unseen dialogue options in Honor Mode. Unfortunately for one player on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Subreddit, they threw caution to the wind in an effort to experience a never-before-seen romantic encounter. \u201cBeing horny lost my Honour run\u201d The moment in question came all the way in the third act after 9 hours of flawless play when entering the House of Hope. This Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player desperately needed a key that only the Incubus Haarlep can provide. Rather than initiating combat and prying it from her corpse, they elected to enter into a subtle dance of seduction to acquire the key with guile. Hopping into bed with the Incubus in a steamy encounter that involves offering up your soul. Sounds pretty precarious in an Honor Mode run, and it was. \u201cI knew from spoilers that this would kill me, but I had plenty of revive scrolls, so I just planned to use one after,\u201d the player explained. \u201cWell, I play along and give my soul to them, and then the lost Honor Run screen pops up, and I can see the rest of my party still alive in the background.\u201d While contemplating if finally viewing the raunch scene was worth it, the result was an emphatic \u201cno\u201d. Looks like it\u2019s back to the drawing board to see if they can replicate that 90 hours. Maybe in their next Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Honor Mode run, they\u2019ll take care of Haarlep the old-fashioned way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
