BG3 Honor Mode

[bardic-inspo]

Doing the Marcus fight to save Isobel at Last Light in Honor Mode and it is sooooo satisfying to pop freedom of movement on Isobel before that bastard can paralyze her 😌

[tadpole-apocalypse]

wow i failed more pathetically than I could have imagined

Not to sound too Dark Urge-y, but a huge part of the fun of doing harder difficulties and honor mode in BG3 is finding new, scary ways to kill enemies that play out like a horror movie.

For example, let me introduce you to the melee combination of Astarion as a open hand monk/thief rogue with the Sussur Dagger and Lae'zel as a warlock/paladin with the Doom Hammer.

So imagine this. You're a guard at Moonrise Towers Minding Your Damn Business. Suddenly, you feel the sharp sting of cold steel slip through your ribs, and you can't move (stunning strike) and can't speak (silenced condition from the Sussur Dagger). You can only see out of the corner of your eye a glimpse of a silver-haired twink punching you multiple times in the kidneys.

Then, a scary gith lady beats you over the head with a massive hammer that prevents you from healing yourself or getting healed by anyone else (bone chilled from the Doom Hammer).

You can't move, can't scream, and realize far too late as everything goes dark that these were the last six seconds of your life.

Started a vanilla honor mode run and SHITTING MYSELF before every interaction how do y'all do this. I saved Arabella by the SKIN OF MY TEETH

[ooklet]

hmm.

[monsterlimbs]

Just started an honor mode run so I can get the achievement. Very nervous 🥲

BUT it'll be worth it if I finish it and get all the achievements, because I NEED to 100% this game but I also wanna play with mods and so I'm gonna focus on getting the remaining 22 achievements and then I'll play with mods again

Streaming Honor Mode in BG3!

Because I wasn't talking enough about this game already, I'm doing an honor mode run for my Monday stream! (Well, we're setting it up tonight, then taking a break so I can play Lies of P, and then coming back. :D )

Me, @zenjestrr, and @writer86 will be taking on an Honor Mode run full of glitches, skips, strats, and Evil Decisions so it will be very chaotic. I will be romancing Minthara and have spun up a character designed to channel my inner Aria T'Loak.

And y'all should come and hang out. :D

BG3 SPOILERS

One misclick. One simple misclick. I’m usually so careful when skipping cutscenes, so I don’t immediately choose the top dialog option while skipping. But this time I wasn’t. And it cost me Dame Aylin’s life. I told Shadowheart to kill her. I’ve never played the game with Shadowheart becoming a dark justiciar, cause I HATE Shar. But this time I have to continue, because this is Honor Mode. I can’t load back. I can’t fix it. Dame Aylin is dead, the entire last light inn is shadow cursed, I don’t have Aylin for the Myrkul fight. But worst of all; Shadowheart is a Dark Justiciar. I’ve lost my mind. It’s so over

Edit: I beat the game on this save

Honor Mode Heartbreak #2 — Wyll is dead

Doot dee doo, getting ready to finish off Ketheric in the mindflayer colony… Wyll: fails Arcana check to read the buttons on Mizora’s pod Me: No problem…bet Shadowheart can pass it Shadowheart: chooses option 2 to get the check Mizora: Wyll? WYLL!?! What’s happening?! disappears Wyll: SHIT!!! burns to ash Me: FUUUUUUCK --------------------------------- Wyll, just so you know…we raised an army to fill your spot. And buffed it with everything we had. And spent two hours strategizing.

And we beat the bastard. But I know that doesn’t really help you much right now.

I am SO, SO SORRY.

😭

Fuck Mystra, my explosion is better >:D

[bardic-inspo]

I've never done this route so I'd be curious to see it even if it does hurt my heart a bit. Mostly, I'm looking for opinions on if any resulting boons/consequences from this would be of significant benefit to an honor mode run/make things easier down the road 👀

Honor Mode Live Blog

Because I am a little gremlin, I've started yet another BG3 save file. To make it more interesting, I'm attempting honor mode and will be blogging about it! So... meet Lyra!

Half-drow cleric of Selune, former guild artisan, and a brand spankin' new adventurer. She was inspired to become a cleric after following stories of The Blade of Frontiers. She was on her first ever solo mission when she got Yoinked by the Nautiloid. Her inexperience and naivety mean she's going to have an intense learning curve along this journey.

My last attempt at making a character to specifically romance Wyll failed so we're doing that again and this time I won't get distracted by Shadowheart... or Gale... or Lae'zel... Wyll's the last person I want to romance so it's just a matter of sticking with the save file.

Main traveling party seems like it's shaping up to be Wyll, Shadowheart, and Lae'zel. Double cleric parties can do some real nasty stuff (affectionate) and I have a feeling having more healers won't be a bad thing here. I'm still not sure what builds I'll be going for, so I'm researching that now before gettin beyond the Ravaged Beach.

As Much as I Love Gloomstalker/Assassin/Champion Astarion...

This honor mode run has turned me to a new religion, the belief that Monk-starion is in fact the way, the truth, and the life, Amen.

The Raphael fight wasn't so much a fight as much as it was Astarion stunning his ass every single round and beating the ever living shit out of him while the rest of the crew played Cambion Clean Up. What legendary actions? Never saw a single one. I was fully planning on my Durge Bard/Paladin to keep hold monstering him every turn but I ended up being able to use those spell slots for thunder smites instead!

Open Hand Monk 8/Thief 4 for anyone who would like to also convert. I took ASI Dex, Tavern Brawler, and Alert for my feats. I'll post a more detailed breakdown and my strategy with him later but just...damn.

[ara-meyy]

Just started my own Honor Mode run and figured I'd make a poll about what others are playing! I've got a single digit amount of followers who play BG3 so hopefully this reaches some people through the tags lol.
