I always find these kind of posts amusing, you guys remember this is a videogame right? Like he could have literally just gone back to a previous save and make a different choice
Honor mode is one single save, permanent death. You can't go back once you make a decision. It's the reason you should know exactly how you're planning on running honor mode so you don't make mistakes that bork your save file or kill you outright (taunting Vlaakith is one way to kill yourself via dialog). I died on my first honor attempt due to stupidity so take my warning to heart. My second run was much more careful and now I have the golden dice.
My first honor run ended when I forgot the hammer was on a different character, so I made bad dialog choices and got dominated by the Absolute for refusing to side with the emperor and kill Lae'zel.
Which was kinda dumb because I was all set to try sending Gale to his doom (gotta just finish once at all costs). I've never done that before but I had to be five minutes from the end if it works, and the lack of big O or the form change wouldn't matter in the slightest. Hell I could - head canon - go back to camp and pop the guy free afterwards. Oh well. I'm back to the point of starting A3 now. These acts are so long... I have a ridiculous number of hours played and only finished the game once.
Gale boom is how I finished honor mode so you’ll be happy to know it works fine. Good luck. Some of those act 3 fights are just plain unfair.
Not on honour mode
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
