Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player blames Scratch for \u201cembarrassing\u201d Honour Mode loss Larian StudiosA BG3 player suffered an \u201cembarrassing\u201d Honour Mode loss because Scratch decided to play fetch at the worst moment. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Patch 5 update arrived in late November, bringing along a whole host of changes and new content. One addition, in particular, revolved around a new mode that significantly boosted the game\u2019s overall difficulty \u2013 Honour Mode. This version of the experience shelves the player\u2019s ability to save scum, amplifying the impact of its permadeath feature. Interestingly, some users have concluded that certain elements like dice rolls may be working against them in Honour runs. Now it seems that even man\u2019s best friend has it out for those who dare try to navigate the higher difficulty. Scratch causes BG3 player\u2019s \u201cembarrassing\u201d Honour Mode loss As a familiar, Scratch may be a fan-favorite BG3 companion, yet one person learned the hard way that the friendly dog\u2019s usually adorable actions can lead to chaos. User PoliticalBudgie shared their experience on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 subreddit, writing: \u201cI thought I\u2019d get the elusive d20 on my first [Honour Mode] attempt, and boy was I wrong thanks to Scratch.\u201d While trying to save Nere at the Grymforge, the Redditor threw Runepowder to blast away surrounding rocks. The rescue attempt should\u2019ve gone off without a hitch, but Lae\u2019zel\u2019s previously summoned familiar \u2013 Scratch \u2013 thought the Runepowder throw constituted a game of fetch. Unfortunately, the player\u2019s run ended in a split second. They explained, \u201c[Scratch] fetched it WHILE MY ARROW WAS HEADING TOWARDS IT. My entire party, Scratch, and the gnomes were instantly obliterated.\u201d This Honour Mode mishap isn\u2019t the first time Scratch has accidentally brought ruin to a BG3 player\u2019s party. It probably won\u2019t be the last time, either. Needless to say, users in the Reddit thread are having a field day with the story. One person joked, \u201cCartoony a** death lmao it\u2019s the dog fetching you a [stick] of dynamite all over again.\u201d Someone else chimed in with, \u201cD**n I would pay to watch a replay and your reaction.\u201d But a few people think the original poster should take the brunt of the blame for Scratch\u2019s behavior. After all, Runepowder doesn\u2019t need to be thrown to work as intended. \u201cWhy did you THROW the runepowder when you just need to DROP it?\u201d someone asked. Another Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 fan added, \u201cAnd that\u2019s another reason I leave the pets at camp. Too funny, tho.\u201d Clearly, those attempting an Honour Mode run should beware of what they\u2019re throwing around whenever Scratch is nearby.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
