• For me the most memorable WTF MOMENT was Minthara aggroing all the guards within Moonrise due to a pathfinding issue and then having to fight them all swarming in from all directions as I was just trying to shop around, so spent some time afterwards rearranging all the lost content in the main hall out of sadness.

    Because of her my "invasion" of Moonrise in the act's finale was literally just Z'rell waiting for me as the only horrified survivor of Minthara's shenanigans.

    (YOU did this Minthy!)

  • What cost me my first completely blind run was Lae'zel's betrayal at the very end.

    Was playing an evil Dark Urge by manipulating all companions to become fanatical zealot slaves to their own gods, so that when I eventually enslave them myself they'd be at their fullest potential, but for some reason I did not have it in my heart to do it to Lae'zel, it just felt wrong. So I did not make her a slave to Vlaakith... which ended up biting me in the butt later.

    Everything was going perfectly as I intended until she turned against me at the very end because I never intended to free a certain Gith. What followed next was an utterly humiliating catastrophe of a boss fight without her, so ironically enough we all got eternally enslaved instead.

    That's what I get for being nice to her... I immediately started my 2nd Honour playthrough to get back to where I was after that colossal screwup and this time manipulated her so hard she became Vlaakith's mega-simp as punishment. The end played out just as I originally intended with everyone eternally enslaved to me and Minthara;

  • Hm... unfortunately I can't say any encounters posed a challenge and Raphael in particular was such a disappointment of a boss fight because he was such a pushover that I did not even get to see his true form.

    And Orin storywise only caused me massive trouble because I lost my Chosen Dark Urge ending that I really wanted to see, by stupidly trying to roleplay the duel honourably and defeating her in my Slayer form because the dialogue choice for it was freaking badass.

    Unfortunately I never used the form prior to that moment so realized too late that the Slayer form was indeed NOT badass against humanoid Orin. After that humiliating display of a duel I naturally won the battle that escalated, but lost all motivation for the playthrough for losing that specific ending and then Lae'zel betraying me at the end was just icing on the cake grin

  • I was a ranged War Cleric multiclassed into Battle-master Fighter and Sword Bard.
    - Shadowheart was a Life Cleric.
    - Lae'zel a Battle-master Fighter/Tiger Barbarian.
    - Minthara a sharpshooter Champion Fighter.

  • Arrows of Darkness and Invisibility potions. I am cursed to put my hands on everything, so five-finger discounts are the only way I shop around.


Honour Mode overall was extremely fun and I really loved its consistent experience from beginning to end. Going with the flow of the story and adapting to epic fails (looking at you Minthara) was an experience to remember for sure. Now my only wish is for Honour Mode rules to become available for Custom Mode so I can enjoy its exclusive balance changes and additions, but being able to save.

Also congrats and the way you beat the final encounter is hilarious. After Oblodra I thought Astarion would never bite anything even remotely resembling a squid, but then goes and bites the giga-brain instead grin
