Honour mode kinda easy ngl

[Auron]

Act 1 and Myrkul were kinda scuffed, but for every other boss, I kinda just breathed on them and then keeled over and died. Is my breath really that bad?

Honour mode doesn't change that much from Tactician so the same battle tactics apply. Some of the Legendary Actions and the +10 Legendary Resistance can re-contextualize the fights to a degree, but with certain items, they outright bypass this.

The main difference is some, not all, bosses get Legendary Actions + Legendary Resistance. Their HP doesn't change. Their skills they had prior do not change. If you can account for Legendary Actions + Resistance then you're gonna have no problem.

Then you need to do a Custom Mode play run and use the settings to make the journey more challenging.

Or is that what you are really looking for?

There you go. Then post a YouTube video of it, editing some things out you did to succeed. However, there are some on YouTube already. :P

I agree. I do like Custom Mode the best however. It does give the player better choices in how they can experience the game.

And you can't believe all that is posted on here or YouTube ether.

If you play the game without the cheese like Barrelmancy and other things I agree with most people that early game is where you get dunked on.

When you hit the power spike at level 6 things just kind of fall over a lot easier with extra attack and other things.

Can I still get achievements on custom mode?

No. But if you got the one for Tactician and Honor Mode, why would that be a concern?

Other ones, like the Hot Date for Karlach don't see why not.

You could also play the game with a total party size of only 3 or even 2 to make it more difficult.

You ave to pay a bit of attention, sure, especially 1-4, but that's just D&D for you. The same is true on the tabletop...I quite regularly have to pull a bit of the punches as a gm when playing with low level parties.
I don't find it terribly hard, though, but I have years and years of D&D experience, which probably helps me a ton. Also examining your oponents can make a huge difference in some fights, rather than just blindly going in.
But as I said, I personally don't play videogames for the challenge...I've been gaming since the C64 era...I don't have the need to prove myself anymore...I just wanna have a good time...;)

I was actually thinking about doing an honor mode (custom mode so that I can reload saves) lone wolf run with a bunch of mods just to mess around.

[northernwater]

Custom Mode with all Honor Mode rules and the Tactician Enhanced Mod will allow you to tweak the game and get more of a challenge out of it.

The Tactician Enhanced Mod allows you to increase enemy HP and/or Action Points and/or Bonus Actions. You can make the game a lot harder or a little harder. Mod was very well done.

Streamers have about played out the solo runs to death. They are boring to be honest because every fight and game twist is absolutely memorized.

That’s why you don’t watch streamers on games you actually play all the time. I find it tends to ruin the experience since they are technically doing runs for you. I did my first BG3 run not long ago semi blind just with wiki classes and if I watched people doing it I do not think I would have had the experience I did.

It is also a question of self control. You know got to exploit the game now and you feel you have to or you’re not optimal. I can not do normal BG1 and BG2 runs anymore because I have played them to death and I have the knowledge.
