I’m 100+ hours into an honor run and I’ve finally made a decision I apparently can’t live with. I was offered a gift at the end of act 2, and while it was totally out of character for me to accept it, my curiosity got the better of me. I never made it this far before and I wanted to see what would happen. Now I hardly even recognize my character - when I look at them, I just see my dumb impulsive decision staring back at me. I’ve made plenty of dumb decisions before in the name of staying true to my character, and I bore the consequences with pride, but this was the opposite - I betrayed my character, and now I’m reminded of it in every dialogue and every cutscene from now until the end of the game. I was really invested in their journey too, especially with this shaping up to be my first “full” run, but now I’m wishing that they had died in act 2 before I did this to them. I’m only an hour or so into act 3 but it’s already starting to feel a bit like the last season of GoT.

Anyway, that’s how my glorious honor run came to a rather quiet and pitiful end. Anyone else have a similar experience?

    I always find these kinds of comments amusing, you know what honor mode is, right? It’s not like he could go to a previous save, there isn’t one; you’re locked in to every choice you make.

      Why are you playing honor mode if you’d rather not roll with the punches? It’s like playing a roguelike and getting pissed at dying
