Does anyone have an explanation for why the Caustic band at Derryth costs 120 in tactician but like 2000 in HM? Is it just a mistake?

My assumption would be someone found a broken as poo poo combo with it that Larian decided to moneygate. I'm pretty sure most of the Act 1 throwbarb gear costs a fortune in Act 1 on HM, too.

Honor mode raises the costs for some of the stronger items, especially if they were really cheap for what they do on other difficulties.

Stuff is more expensive in Honor Mode and Caustic Band is one of the best items in the game. Thankfully some of the merchants are really easy to rob.

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.

I think purple/gold gear all deliberately costs multiple times more on HM, I'm running a Tactician game with Honour Features Unlocker (Ironman in this game just feels like asking for trouble but Legendary Actions make the boss fights way more fun - just finished Cazador yesterday and I'm literally keeping a save so I can go back and play it again without pre-emptively interrupting the ritual by having Shadowheart drop a miniature sun on his head before he can monologue at us) and some items in Act 3 were 10-15k to buy.

I get it, a lot of the feedback I saw was all "money has lost all meaning by the time you get to A3" and that is definitely no longer the case, I've never had more than 10k free gold at any point (I suppose I could Loot Harder but the inventory screen is enough of a pain that you know what, Karlach, you can wear a robe, that Bonespike Garb is just going to have to sit on the shelf in Rivington)

Luckily it's very easy to avoid by simply leaving one of those people out of your party and beelining for the sewers. I usually pick Lae'zel just because she's the only one I can remember is guaranteed to be picked before Yenna.

I only wish Grub would say something to me other than "please don't look at me". C'mon Grub, I have treats and I saved your buddy, please let me pet you.


Some cats just don't wanna be pet by anyone other than their person, some don't want pet period. I liked Grub having boundaries, it's realistic if you've known a lot of cats lol

Is this a mod? Custom with tactician difficulty, legendary bosses, and balanced camp supply usage would be my ideal setting. I'm doing a HM run right now but yeah this is a game that really needs reloadable saves.

Yeah, it's a mod. It might or might not be duplicatable with Custom mode settings (the recent patch apparently added some more descriptions to some of the custom mode settings to make it clearer what you're getting?) but it's a godsend for me because that setup is my ideal too.

I can usually come out ahead by the time I reach Act 2 since the vendors are so easy to steal from. Araj and Dammon sell good poo poo and are all alone, Roah and Lann just drop a Darkness Cloud and have Astarion boot it to the staircase down to the prisons if you get caught. You can keep zoning back in and out and they won't do anything.

Warning about the Honour mode mod if you don’t check the comments. You can not uninstall it.

I’m using this right now and had to edit the file to revert some changes because I just wanted the legendary actions. But I do like the action economy changes so I’m trying to make old Mind Sancutary work with Honor Mode rules and I don’t know LUA.

yeah on HM I just barely had enough gold to buy the big items I wanted, and that was after doing a lot of stealing and hoarding of money

That's honestly one of the trickier parts of HM, you do have to manage your money if you want the cool expensive gear. Which you probably do.

My hot take is that returning weapons are kind of a trap option and easily surpassed by a good +initiative weapon and just chucking the looted +1 spears and javelins that are everywhere. All those little daggers and tools the surgeon carries are good too.

Shouldn't be a hot take. I'm playing with someone who gets a little hung up on optimization and I'm like man this game is too easy for that, lemme kill people by body slamming their buddies into them and throwing salami at them, I'm here for the fun. Also throwing people off ledges never gets old. I'm not going to do that with people that have actually good loot but there's no reason to hoard every short sword and leather armor in the game.

Lol I have three cats and one of them is basically Grub. The other one is that one in Baldur's Gate who will just decide to follow you around with the tiniest amount of encouragement. I immediately reloaded and left them be because I had just been ambushed in the park and I knew that travelling with me in Baldur's Gate would be far too dangerous.

Understandable and fine: saw a particularly bad scene and got kind of upset, argued that the game should have some kind of content warning or something so people don't buy it and blindly walk into that

It's almost like there should be some sort of... warning... based on content... perhaps administered by oh, I dunno, an Entertainment Software Rating Board? Crazy idea, I know.

It's disappointing to see things like "archer voice mod to replace Johnny silver hand in cyberpunk" and it's just some ai generated bullshit instead of some creative modder taking the time to find appropriate voice clips to replace the real ones. Just lazy garbage

Act 3 right after the coronation if you long rest after Gortash gives you a warning but If you do not have Lae'zel, Gale, and Halsin in your party or are romancing one while the other two are in your party You will get a cutscene involving Yenna who despite constantly talking about making soup now offers you a kebab. In the background you can see a body but this might be my camera being weird because I threw that poo poo away Orin killed Grub and made a kebab

Yenna's back at the camp now and she sells soup

There is an entire other chain of events involving this character if you don't get this outcome so she seems to be in a state of superposition. According to a 30 second youtube video I watched on the subject at least.

Outside of this thread he seems relatively popular? Also since you can't get him until near the end of act 2, he's more likely to be in people's party at that point just for the sake of boosting approval and/or deciding if they want to make him a regular.

iirc you have to kill Ketheric to end the shadow curse, but you gotta work with Halsin to restore the spirit of the land to actually start healing the land
