Is there an option for an iron man mode?

[jasta85]

So, enjoying my first run on the middle difficulty, I was thinking of doing an iron man run for my second playthrough and went back to character creation to take a look at the options but I don't see an option for it, just the tactician difficulty which doesn't mention anything about it. Am I missing something or is there no option for this?

you can just use your auto save and never save the game. if oyu talking like if my party is dead game actually ends then i think you will get rekt more than u aware .

Party wipe means save wipe, I think. And only a single save slot, you can't load from previous saves.

Ooooh.... that's how to limit my save scumming. Rely on autosaves, so if I have to load, I don't know how far back I'm going! Not into Iron Man, but you gave me a good idea on how to play a more enjoyable way.

yea, basically iron man means 1 save file and your game deletes if your party wipes. Mostly for later playthroughs where I really want to challenge myself. It doesn't seem to be included.

Reason I was asking was because Divinity Original Sin 2 had Honor mode added post launch which is basically this, so I figured it would be included in BG3 as well.

Yes there is. When you get a party wipe you delete your campaign.

The best way to do an Iron Man run on any game, even those that offer such an option, is to play normally and just use Iron Man rules. I've seen countless saves corrupted, or an unavoidable death due to BS circumstances out of the player's control, dozens of hours into the run, rendering the save dead. Manual Iron Man is the safest and smartest way to do Iron Man. It allows you to have a backup save in case something fubars.
