Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

Fellas, is Honor worth trying for a first run, or should I just roll with Tactician?

Edit: also, any recommended mods?

I never played on Honor (it wasn't there on release) but Tactician is too easy for RPG enthusiast, especially for one with DnD experience (and I even didn't have much of it). So I'd suggest roll on Honor right away, even if you die you can still continue but you will get improved boss fights. Also it's nice not to worry about reloading for rerolls etc the game plays better that way (live with roll failures) because it was designed for that (even if often it just means as usual resorting to combat).

As for mods, I'd recommend going to rusty's site and getting de-woke mod or w/e it's called. Dunno about your personal preferences/tolerances but to me seeing nigger elves etc en masse was annoying. BG itself is an expected melting pot in vanilla.

Cool, I guess it's gotta be Honor then, thanks bros.

If you want to go in blind I'd say stay away from Honor mode. There is a way of making the early game relatively painless if you follow a certain path, level up as much as possible without combat and then tackle encounters in exact order of difficulty. But if it's your first run you're probably not going to do it this way and it could potentially be very difficult.

There is a mod that removes save restrictions in Honor mode. Difficulty and rule fixes are a must, but there's just too much bullshit the game can throw at you to play with a single save, especially on your first run.

Save restrictions just make the game more interesting, if you die just restart in Dishonour? Tactician is boring as fuck and not balanced. I would definitely have preferred to play the game on honour mode for my first run

Yeah if you continue and just get better ruleset, so there's no reason to play on Tactictian.
