The new mode adds permadeath and it updates your save file whenever you exit the game so no more save scumming.

LOL so you can't save at all unless you quit the game and reload? I don't see me getting the gold dice.

You can save at any time. But if you exit the game it will save again so you can't save scum.

Sure, you can do that if you're a dirty coward who doesn't deserve a golden d20

How hard is it to backup the save and restore after quitting?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Probably not super difficult but doesn't that defeat the purpose of Honor mode?

Isn’t that what we’re discussing? How to save scum “honor”.

Looking at what is presented to me by the mod manager you don't even have to save scum it, you can probably just activate it through the mod manager.

If you're that opposed to earning something and feeling like you earned it you can just exit the game through a hard close (alt-f4 or going to home screen and force closing the app on console) as that doesn't save to the save file. But then you'll feel like a dirty rotten cheater every time you look at your shiny dice. So you do you.
