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?
What gift? Not getting what specific part you’re talking about. Anyway, like other have said even a honor path of life will some mistakes during their life. You should move on with your playtrough.
It is when the >!Emperor offers to enhance the power provided by your tadpole by advancing you one stage further in ceremorphosis. You get access to the outer ring of illithid powers but your character’s face also becomes partly pallid and broken, and your eyes get black sclera (if they didn’t already have it. It’s more noticeable on a human or elf than a Dragonborn, though.!<
Right right, I was putting that on the start of act 3 because its on the camp with the view to baldurs gate.
