Man, I'm buzzing! Finally finished an Honour Mode run!

It was a Karlach Origin, mostly good aligned but I decided to dominate the brain at the end just for the lulz at to see her evil ending.

Was this your first runthrough?

Nope, my fifth, having previously lost to:

• Dror Ragzlin
• Orin
• The Netherbrain (and after I got it down to a single health point! Yes, really)!
• Minthara

Any fights you skipped?

Nope, I did every single major fight. I didn't win them all, however. I had to make a invisible run for camp against Ansur and Cazador (I really don't have the hang of the Cazador fight).

Did everyone make it?

While generally trying to be good, I did fail to save several people I want to. Please doth your caps for:

• Owlbear cub. At the goblin camp. Honestly, devastated.
• Minthara. I knocked her out but she fell into an electrified puddle. I promise this wasn't revene for her ending my last run...
• Klaus and Benji. I didn't know they actually attack you if you fail to talk your way into the circus. Bit of an overreaction if you ask me.
• Astarion. That's the second time I've lost Astarion to Cazador on an HM run.
• Literally all the Gondians, Duke Ravengard and Omeluum. For real.
• Yenna. I thought killing Gortash before Orin meant she wouldn't try to kill her kidnap victim. No idea where I got that idea from because it's clearly wrong. Sorry girl!

Hardest fights?

Apart from the ones I lost, the skeletons in the necromancer's basement in Act1's Blighted Village almost cost me the run before it had barely started. And the High Hall was a suitably nail-biting climax for the run.

Highlights?

I think the most memorable moment was when I snuck into the Steel Watch Factory and started the fight on the production floor. The gnomes join in on the Banites' side, and one of them cast Burning Hands which damaged the Banite as well - and it happened to be enough to kill her and end the fight. Which activated the Motivator, and as the fight was now over, we dropped out of turn-based mode. I grabbed for it immediately, but it was still too late, and all the Gondians and everyone in the Iron Throne were immediately destroyed. I knew the Gondians have absolutely no sense of self-preservation, but that really takes the cake.

Those golden dice are gonna be so pretty for when I do my next run.
