Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player wracked with guilt over \u201cdirty\u201d Honor Mode clear Larian StudiosA Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player feels like they\u2019ve taken the easy way out to finish their Honor Mode run. To be fair, some luck and effort were still required. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s Honor Mode ups the challenge of the game to eleven with tougher encounters and permadeath to boot. It can be a grueling endeavor and it\u2019s led to some satisfying victories and heartbreaking defeats. We\u2019ve seen instances where players have tripped over the finish line 80 hours in, moments where Scratch ends runs with a game of fetch, and a player shooting themselves in the foot by opting to become a sex slave. Succeeding in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s Honor Mode is usually a cause for celebration but Reddit user u\/itsthelee is feeling a little guilty over their clear. They did opt for a quick out to get the Foehammer achievement but there was still some teeth clenching involved. u\/itsthelee took what some consider to be the easy way out of an Honor Mode run which is of course blowing up Gale. Things seemed to be going well but some unknown failure in their setup caused Gale to be a little less tractable than they would have liked. \u201cIn the end, I have a DC 25 Persuade check on a mainchar with 8 charisma. Even with Guidance, I can only succeed on a crit success. I only have one inspiration,\u201d explained u\/itsthelee. Through some minor prep and some major luck, they managed to hit the critical success and win their golden dice. \u201cAfter seeing so many posts of people trying and failing to get honor mode, this felt real dirty,\u201d they admitted. Bailing on the final fight wasn\u2019t sitting right with them but fortunately, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players are an understanding lot. \u201cI don\u2019t think you should feel guilty. So many have lost their Honor runs because of sheer, dumb luck that I think it\u2019s equally fair to win by luck,\u201d one player offered. \u201cIf it\u2019s valid enough to lose to bad luck, the opposite should also be true.\u201d We\u2019re in the camp that a win is a win and that Foehammer achievement and those shiny golden dice won\u2019t shine any less bright. There might be some debate as to whether trading Gale\u2019s life for an accessory is truly as honorable as the game mode suggests though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
