You guys just need something equivalent to the "Veteran" difficulty in Call of Duty, or the highest difficulty setting in Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion. Even the "Insane" difficulty of BG2 is not hard enough, as many have claimed it is too easy.
However, I have never seen/read anyone who is bold enough to claim "Veteran" is easy. And the highest difficulty level of Oblivion (I forgot what it's called - probably not named at all) means, you start the game when any creature can kill you in no more than 2 hits. It also means: if you fight an identical clone of yourself, this difficulty level will make your identical clone do 36 times more damage than you do. Meaning: if you have 150 HP and can do 5 damage, your clone can always kill you in 1 hit. But you will need to hit your clone 31 times to kill it.
Yet, eventually there are players who have beat CoD on Veteran or completed Oblivion on that extremely hard difficulty level.
I guess in order for BG3 to please most players, it can be really hard for developers to figure out a way to make it hard enough to a small number of players without alienating the majority of players. Honor mode is a nice way to go. It's not a technically harder mode minus the spice of legendary actions, but primarily a mode that encourages a honorable run.
