The title could be rewritten as: “Baldur’s Gate 3 Player Spends 92 Hours on Highest Difficulty Level For a Pair of Gloves”

During his playthrough, a player of Baldur's Gate III realized that he wanted to go back in order to obtain a certain piece of equipment: the Gloves of the Warring Skies, located in the Githyanki Crèche. The only problem is that the player in question had already moved on to act 2. In theory, it is indeed possible to return to the previous act, but when you are in Honor mode, it is immediately more complicated, And the word is weak. For those who are not familiar with Honor mode, I invite you to click here to learn about one of the most technical aspects of the game.

A major challenge

So to summarize, a player, with a game of around 92 hours, decides to change his act on Baldur's Gate 3 to get gloves, all this in the highest difficulty mode of the game. Is this going to go well? If you are reading this, you may have an idea of ​​the answer.

However, his guardian angel had warned him three times before the irreparable was committed! He clearly told him that he should not make this change of act and that he should not go back. But the intrepid player didn't want to hear anything. It's hard to blame him for that. That said, in several games, certain non-player characters warn us not to go to this or that place and the guard could have been one of these NPCs, right? The gamble was risky, but it was worth it! Now we are settled: we must always listen to the game when it drops clues about what happens next.

A premature end

Returning to the Act 1 area, the entire group has been transformed into mind flayers, a type of creature that is central to the story of Baldur's Gate 3. We might say that we can continue adventure, as a mind flayer, it might even be interesting to try. Except it’s nothing. After the transformation, the venerable brain takes possession of our group and the game is over! The player's reaction is mixed. He doesn't know whether to be angry at his guardian angel and his abandonment, or at himself for not listening to the guardian.

Well, if these are not the consequences of my own actions… Guys, don't be stubborn like me, listen to the warnings, especially if they are given three times.

Let's not forget that when the group dies and the game ends, it no longer exists! Also present in the Hardcore mode of WoW or Diablo, this feature is particularly punishing. Especially when you know that all of this happened because of a pair of gloves.
