in my truncated and unsuccessful first Honour Mode run, I did find myself resting more, taking fewer risks and less willing to try novel ways of approaching encounters.
This.
I find Honour Mode a different game.
If I die I restart - after a few quick TPKs I now managed to get to the Shadowlands (twice). Instead of F8 I bravely run away like Sir Robin. Use a Potion of Invisibility/Scroll of Misty Step for the last survivor to bugger out
