Honour Mode is Baldur's Gate 3's biggest challenge - a permadeath option where the difficulty is dialled way up and a single party wipe means starting the game from scratch. Which is why I was quite so surprised to learn that 40,000 players managed to beat it with the D&D equivalent of hands tied behind their backs.
In the new stats released to celebrate Baldur's Gate 3's second anniversary, developer Larian revealed that 500,000 players have beaten Honour Mode at one time or another. Of those, it said, more than 45,000 chose to do so in…suboptimal ways.
