Baldur’s Gate 3 celebrates its two-year anniversary with impressive player stats, including nearly 5,000 players completing Honour Mode at level 1, Gale being the third-most respecced character, and 265 million mods downloaded, highlighting the game's dedicated community and extensive customization options.
A Baldur's Gate 3 player has managed to beat the game's hardest difficulty setting, Honour Mode, by casting the game's worst spell, True Strike, 2,468 times. True Strike is known for being one of the worst spells in D&D and Baldur's Gate 3, as it doesn't deal any damage. The player used a cheesy strategy involving stacking Reverberation to eventually deal minimal thunder damage. This feat adds to the player's list of impressive challenges, including beating the game without leveling up and finishing a run without resting.
A Baldur's Gate 3 player encountered a game-breaking bug in Honour Mode where they were unable to progress after accidentally leaving the Orphic Hammer behind, which is essential for a late-game event. The bug prevented the backup scene with Raphael from triggering, leaving the player softlocked in the Astral Prism sequence. The issue was so severe that the player had to resort to using PC mods to continue, raising concerns among the community and highlighting the need for a fix from developer Larian Studios, especially for console players who cannot use mods.
A Baldur's Gate 3 player shared their regret on a gaming forum after attempting a Dark Urge (Durge) run in the game's unforgiving Honour Mode, which includes permadeath. The player's decision to resist the urge to kill a companion led to unexpected consequences and ultimately the end of their run due to the game's challenging mechanics. The community generally advises against combining Durge runs with Honour Mode due to the high difficulty and risk of permadeath.
