A Baldur’s Gate 3 player has revealed that they gave into their human desires at the worst moment, resulting in their Honour Mode run coming to an end.

Honour Mode in Baldur’s Gate 3 offers players the ultimate challenge where death means their playthrough coming to an end, completely.

Since its release, there have been some humorous stories told about how players are coming to an end in this mode.

However, none have matched a recent story of a player giving into temptation and bringing their run to an end accidentally.

A Baldur’s Gate 3 player’s lust has ended their Honour Mode

The player took to the Baldur’s Gate 3 subreddit to share their story, titling it: “Just Ended my Honour Mode Run in the dumbest way possible.”

The process of bringing their 47 hour run to an end involved the interaction with Haarlep, a succubus you meet in the game’s third act.

“Chose the option where I give him my body and mind cuz I was like ‘Oh I’ve never done this one before, I wonder what happens.’ Turns out he turns you into a sex slave for all of time, perma-killing you and ending the run.”

As can be expected, the responses to this tale have been amused, with many players laughing at how they gave into their lustful temptation, resulting in their game ending.

“You were certainly not thinking with your head,” is one response that found the story funny.

Others are recommending to not experiment with unknown decisions during an Honour Mode run, with one user calling to do so a “choice.”

Another player has even taken the time to share their embarrassing Honour Mode demise: “One of my runs died to the traps in the back door to the grove.”

For context, the Grove is one of the very first locations you find when starting the game.

With a game as big as Baldur’s Gate 3, stories like this are sure to keep happening, and they will hopefully continue to be shared with the community as well.
