Kill process and salvage honor mode

[Angra]

Since Honor mode decided to lock me out of a 12h save (Flind did not initiate the dialog and was stuck in his turn forever and restarting the game saved the broken state) I no longer care about being true to honor mode. So if you kill the game's process (on Windows Task Manager->BG3->End Task) you game is not saved and you can continue from past save after you make a mistake.

Good. I can now be free to restart once I miss 6 75% chance attacks in a row.

Honor mode is extremely fragile. If the game lock you somewhere due to a bug, you are screwed.

Bugs are part of any Honor Mode run.

One save in a 200 hour game is unacceptable.

Use this and also reenable achievements with the script extender.

Then just play custom mode with honour rules lmao. You don't deserve the achievement if you cheat, simple as that.

Cheaters always justify their cheating. That's a given. I think it's funny that Larian called it Honor Mode because they know cheaters gonna cheat.

I do think ironman modes and extremely buggy 100 hour story driven RPG's really don't mix well.

Always have a backup save.

They're a part of any Honor Mode run, sure; but they're a part that wasn't intended by the developers.

By that same logic, killing the game process to save scum and keeping backup saves is a part of any Honor Mode run.

Hilarious. Thanks I needed this today.

Lol.
I cheat.
Yes.
20th level mod, autoloot, carrying capacity increase.
I also get achivements.
Will cheat me up a golden die if I feel like it.

It's a single player game I guess. Do what you want.

[Dr. Electrocutioner]

The level cap increasing mod is clearly cheating, but I lose interest in these games when I hit the level cap.

Autoloot and carrying capacity are pure QOL. The drudery of chicken pecking all that junk and repeatedly going to market would not be fun.

I compensate the challenge by playing solo, but to each his own.

My point in comnenting on this thread was to try and help the OP who is having trouble with bugs ruining his games.

Custom mode with honor rules doesn't actually include all the rules IIRC

This mod ports the honor mode difficulty to other play modes, but it is simpler just to use the multi-save enabler I linked above.

[Telemachos]

It would be better with one save per act at least

To you. If you don't like it, don't play honor mode. It's purely optional.

[Dr. Electrocutioner]

The whole thing just creates a minor inconvenience since itis easily defeated with no consequence by using mods.

If you want only one save per act then only save one time per act.

If someone wants to do an ironman run (honorman), then go for it.

I don't even know why devs bother with garbage like this because it is never truly enforceable.
