What have been some of your takeaways and must haves?

Lost the first one to w'wargaz as I thought I could do it without a throw barb ( could not ) Cut to him summoning 3 swords at every party member. That dude is no joke with the legendary actions.

Started a new one playing as gale. Died early but chose to continue for practice. Ketheric was next trouble. He seems like a multi attack check. If you're not aware every death within 40 feet of him is a new undead aoe birth. Dual crossbow thief warrior for crowd and oathbreaker for single target damage. About to go against the aspect and semi dreading it.

Only cleared about half of act 3 in the past, but plan to finish it with this gale honor practice save.

What have been your key takeaways from honor mode? Any must have builds or gear for your personal playstyle?

It's been a good step up from tactician feeling different but not overly bs imo.

I honestly think that honor mode is dumb. I ain't playing through several hours only to wipe out because everything is done by the roll of dice and critical failures are a thing. I could save scum; but then why would I play honor mode if I was going to do that? It seems like a thing for a very specific type of player, and I am not in that group.

Honor mode is the only one with legendary actions. You can always just keep playing when you die.

I guess you could play on Custom to have legendary actions and have more than one save, right?

[–] aaaa 3 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Not without mods, as legendary actions only come from activating honor mode.

[–] BurnedOliveTree 1 points 6 months ago

Oh, that's sad I hope they add that option

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

@aaaa @BurnedOliveTree there's an option to turn them on. So it's not just honour mode, that's just the mode that gives you one save and restart on death.

This is not true, legendary actions are not an option in the custom game settings. This is why there are multiple mods that enable saving in honor mode or legendary actions in other modes.

Don't know. All I do know is that you cannot enable them for an already started game.
