Get ready for news, reviews, tips, and guides on the top games out there. A player of Baldur’s Gate 3 recently completed their Honor Mode run and feels conflicted about the way they achieved victory. Honor Mode in Baldur’s Gate 3 is known for its increased difficulty level, tougher encounters, and permadeath consequences, making it a challenging experience for players.
This particular player, u/itsthelee, admitted to taking what some may consider the easy way out by sacrificing a character named Gale to finish their run and obtain the Foehammer achievement. Despite the success, u/itsthelee expressed feelings of guilt over the decision, as it felt like they had cheated their way to victory.
The player explained that a Persuade check with low odds of success due to their character’s stats and limited resources was the deciding factor in their victory. Despite the guilt, other players on Reddit offered reassurance, stating that luck plays a significant role in Honor Mode runs, and a win is a win, regardless of the circumstances.
While some may question the ethics of sacrificing a character for personal gain in a game mode centered around honor, others believe that victory by any means is still a valid achievement. Ultimately, the player earned the Foehammer achievement and the coveted golden dice, despite the internal conflict.
