Brace yourself, Baldur's Gate 3 might be getting a new difficulty mode even tougher than tactician
It looks like Baldur's Gate 3 could be getting a fearsome new difficulty setting dubbed “Honour Mode”, which, if it mimics its namesake from another Larian title, would present a fresh challenge to those who think tactician playthroughs are childsplay.
The arrival of said mode has potentially been foreshadowed by the appearance of a mysterious new achievement for the GOG version of the game (thanks, TheGamer), which looks to have arrived alongside patch four. This accolade, which was spotted by Reddit user W0lferino93, is called Foehammer and is seemingly dished out to the player when they complete the game’s main story while in “Honour Mode”.
However, given that said mode isn’t currently in the game, acquiring the achievement doesn’t look possible as of writing. This leaves some players who’d previously ground their way to 100% completion stewing at 98% for the time being. As pointed out by various folks who’ve replied to W0lferino93’s post about the discovery, Honour Mode could well turn out to mirror Divinity: Original Sin 2’s difficulty setting of the same name.
