I'm in my first Honour Mode playthrough, 50 hours in, now in Act 2. The battles I thought would be challenging, like Ethyl or Grym, took me less than 5 minutes. Instead, it's EVERYTHING ELSE that's trying to kill me 8'D
SO MANY THINGS have gone wrong:
- Tried to bandage owlbear's paw, Failed medicine check. No owlbear for me.
- Went to the Kua-Toa thinking this would be easy XP for Makloompah... Shadowheart triggered the cutscene, failed Persuasion check (with her flimsy 8 Charisma). Had to kill them all.
- Went to arcane tower, clicked the wrong poem, aggroed and killed Bernard + friends.
- During Nere battle, Legendary Action: Psionic Visage backlash killed Gale. He was "downed" but could not be helped. Throwing potions/healing him did not work. Used a revival scroll and had necrotic aura Gale during battle.
- Went to get Mythril ore. Had Magma Mephits cast "Heat Metal" on Astarion. Made him drop both his weapons, including Sussur Dagger... Turns out there is a bug, where if you throw or drop a sussur dagger, you can no longer pick it up.
- Tried to get Shadowheart her Shar idol at grymforge. Went to camp to grab Karlach so she could bludgeon the iron gate. When she spawned in, she somehow triggered the traps--even though she was one level below and I already had Astarion disarm them. When she crawled up the ladder, she was knocked prone by the gargoyle flamethrower, got her head stuck in the ladder, and FIRE killed her.
- Went to Creche Y'llech. Aggroed the entire right side of the creche.
I'm exhausted.
