I thought honor mode was great. Save-scumming is a mechanic that makes the game significantly easier and tempts players to abuse it. You can ~choose~ not to, but even the best of us fall victim to the siren's song on occasion.
I hope os2 gets an honor mode like os1 had and i'll be happy.
Also this...by giving an honour mode, save scumming is thereby removed for those who don't want it there :P
