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?
why not try and embrace it? this isn’t the only run you will ever do. it might be interesting to see what you might do with the choices you’ve made.
just because you’ve made a choice that you must live with, let yourself live with it. try and make the best of it. or fight against it. this is a story that you’ve written from start to end. but you gotta allow it to run and end. ya know?
I agree with this sentiment. Each play through is fairly unique. You might be the first person to ever make these choices. Keep it up cause not everyone will do exactly what you did.
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

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.

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
