Baldur’s Gate 3 players still desperate for brand-new mode to be added
Larian StudiosBaldur’s Gate 3 players are calling for a brand new mode to be added to the game, after the large success of Honour Mode.
At its core, Baldur’s Gate 3 is an expansive adventure game that will likely take players over 100 hours to complete. Even then, many will dive straight back in to explore new companions, romances, or even entire areas they’ve missed. However, you can always explore some of those features by simply reloading a save to see how things would have played out had you chosen a different action.
That’s where the new Honour Mode comes in, bringing a new and more challenging way to explore the game, with no takebacks allowed. In fact, fans adored the new feature, and many report hilarious or devastating ways they’ve been defeated throughout their adventure.
Now, off the back of Honour Mode’s success, fans are calling for a brand new mode to be added, bringing all the power from Act Three right back to the beginning.
Baldur’s Gate 3 players call for New Game Plus mode
The discussion began on Reddit, where one player shared their frustration when they ended up having to get rid of all their endgame gear when starting a new endgame, exclaiming: “I only had them for one act.”
Unfortunately, that’s one of the main issues with starting a new playthrough, especially when you’ve gathered up hundreds of hours worth of power, only to have to give it all up after the epilogue, as there’s nothing else to do after the fact.
Among the frustration, the post inspired many fans to begin calling for a New Game Plus mode.
“I’d die for New Game +. Let me play again and again and just get buffer and cooler every time” commented one player, while another added how “we desperately need a new game +.”
One player suggested a way this could be implemented in the game, highlighting: “It would be cool if there were a new game plus feature where you can start over, change your PC and class, but keep all your gear.”
Others were quick to agree with the fan, explaining how “a new game plus would do wonders, especially for trying out different classes, new metas would form, etc etc. of course achievements would have to be turned off along with no duplicates of armor” showing that while it can be a great addition, it may be tricky for Larian to add, although not impossible.
While there’s currently no word regarding a new game plus mode, the game is still incredibly popular so new features could come soon.
