Ending my honor run in shame

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...

My experience with Lae’zel:

L: Keep that ghaik shit away from me!

Me: [Persuasion] You’d be really powerful.

L: Hand that shit over.

My experience with Astarion:

A: Fuck. No.

Me: [Wisdom] But…

A: 1. Leave

Which sucks because he has all my lockpicking ability and a big chunk of my DPS and now he’s the only one who can’t fly. Maybe Minthara can respec as Gloomstalker and take his place. She was all about that worm. Didn’t even have to roll.

MagicShel,

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.

MagicShel,

With the right gear and cheese there’s a way to make jumping free as well (unless fixed - I’ve never tested it). But your point is well taken.

At the Gondian factory. Pick up the plans and two parts, find the table, done. But I made two trips instead of finishing it in one and lost the plans between. Then I also managed to leave the orphic hammer behind and thus ended my honor run because I selected the wrong dialog option.

Thought I had it, but it was on a character I’d swapped out.

Honor Mode Miss Chance Apophenia

I have growing doubts of the statistical randomness of attacks in honor mode with karmic dice disabled. I’m talking about multi-attack with action surge completely whiffing when the chance to hit is 75% or greater and rogues with advantage that couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn. (1/4)^2 is 6.25% so across hundreds of...

MagicShel,

75% chance to hit with advantage (I know percent includes advantage in the calculation) and I wiff three attacks in a row. I check the rolls and I’ve gotten nothing higher than a 4. On 6 separate rolls?? Come on…

MagicShel,

Isn’t that calculated into the percentage, though? Grr.

Anyone else having characters not moving their lips during dialog?

Basically title. I decided to start a new honor mode run after the update the other day (haven’t played in a few months) and getting a bug in which character’s face animations don’t work during dialog. Lips don’t move, expressions don’t change. A little googling didn’t turn up any similar reported bugs except for a...

MagicShel,

I meant I started a new playthrough, sorry. Hopefully that’s not the issue for you though.

Baldur's Gate 3's Japan Release Removes Romping And Torture (www.thegamer.com)

Baldur's Gate 3's Japanese release is getting rid of some of Faerûn's best pastimes - excessive bonking and excessive violence. When the RPG hits the region on December 21, it will remove the ability to enable nudity, and will seemingly censor the sex scenes even further

MagicShel,

What are they supposed to romance the characters for the plot?
