Honor mode is -experience, No fun.

[（嗜杀本性）狼队 女 梅]

I had some bugs here and there, And having ONE save, Makes the game feel like a terrible experience, "Honor mode" is less experience of the story more fighter game, What isn't a bad thing just, I Thought after 1 year all the bugs would of been ironed out.. lol

[Zeel Ara]

That's nice, sweetie. Run along now.

[Gamefever]

Well, uh in my experience when I play by myself Tactician is not challenging.

Now if I am playing with others Tact finally becomes challenging because obvious reasons I only control 1 or 2 chars. Most people don't read the descriptions of everything and really figure out how to min max a whole party of classes beyond some fairly easy obvious stuff

Like it is a miracle to get the fighter to use a weapon coating or remember he has 3 weapon abilities he can use on short rest.

When I am on my own though honor mode is about right.

Whether it's a bug or not, eventually you will mess up and make a wrong decision. You don't play Honor mode and expect to play the game perfectly. Just go with the flow and accept what happens.

As for the bugs, most major games, such as Skyrim, Fallout, or GTA all have bugs. Many games now days are expected to be very complex in size and depth, which makes it impossible to squash all bugs even with dedicated testing - especially for a game with 17,000 variations of endings... The bugs will never be fully ironed out.

its been ages, These bugs should of been ironed out or at least fail safes should of been made, They didnt make any DLC's so there's no reason that it shouldn't be? Or am I delusional, But then again they probably working on their next game and this is just getting updates by people that are free at that moment having nothing todo.

Also Fallout Skyrim.. bad examples Bethesda expects the community to patch their game xD

Oh its not harder, Its more fun as more named mobs, but that one save as mentioned by SimranZenov is the real issue, I've had companions disappearing, Lore items not work, Quests triggering wrongly and every one turns hostile

Thus is the consequence of unlucky circumstances or mods in a single save game. You don't have to accept it though, as it's always a good practice to backup your games ESPECIALLY if they are rogue-like/permadeath.

Honor mode can really shine when you work around it's inherent flaw, which isn't at all to say that makes the bugs ok, but that you can serve yourself by making things easier for yourself. Simply find your Larian Studios folder in your local Appdata, and copy the honor mode savegame into a new backup folder. You can do this even when the lost run screen shows up, because nothing with the actual save changes until the game is saved manually, a long rest, or by closing the run, so even when you accidentally ♥♥♥♥ your run with a surprise round you can cheat and recover your gameplay.

That's probably true, Should of done that when the FIRST bug happened with the nerco book disappearing, now I am 24+ hours in and really cannot be asked REPLAY a entire story just to undo the bugs, And its my own fault ye, Should of back-up more, Maybe next month lol imma replay a whole game again
Its not a bad game, And its comparable with dragon age 1, And dragon age 1 is on of my favorites, Like stars the old republic 1/2, BALDURS GATES is a good game just Honor mode is less fun if you still play the game for the experience of the story

Nice thing about honor mode is just playing it where it lands, golf reference.

When playing with others though it's like this, Paladin oh wait I didn't know that comment would cause me to break my oath gotta reload. You save so much time though just accepting the outcomes as they happen an working with the results from there.

[Sextilidan]

What the ♥♥♥♥ are the people in the replies even talking about? Noone care about how good you guys think you are or how ez you find the game.

OP said it doesn't feel good to get screwed over in honor mode and have your time wasted by gamebreaking bugs.
It was a reasonable complaint about technical issues and the fact that it is taking so long to address, there was no feedback about the difficulty.

that's a feature of the game, Not a bug.

I feel like I got really lucky with my honor run, the only notable bugs I came across was falling through elevators which nearly wiped party except for 1 person, and jumping trying to drop me into the cliff by not going the full distance for some reason

patch 7 is coming soon which gives more enemies legendary actions too!

Afaik you can force exit the game without losing the save. Save exit and come back more often, then, when problems like this arise, you lose part of your progress, but not everything.

No one will moderate how you do this, you’re your own judge.

Ye, I saw that, I am mentally debating if I wait for that update, Or finish the run,
The the only reason why I am play honor mode for the legendary mobs.

The thing I dislike about Honor Mode is that you actually have less freedom in how you play.

You're pretty much forced to rely on gimmicks like explosive barrels and min/max munchkin builds.

I prefer Custom Mode, where I can make the AI/tactics as hard as possible, without the stat bloat that just makes it feel unfair.

It helps that I know where they spawn what they normally would react, But ye thats the best way to play on this mod XD

Currently everyone before baldurs gate is attacking me, Dunno what triggered it, Thats why I posted.
