Baldur's Gate 3 Exploit Lets You Save Scum In Honour Mode

thegamer.com:

Baldur's Gate 3 has a hidden exploit for Honour Mode that lets you save scum. While the mode typically doesn't let you exit the game without saving, there's a workaround for this, preventing the game from making an exit save, and therefore, letting you go back to a previous save file.

I only learned this accidentally in my own Honour Mode run, but it works. All you need to do is have so many other save files across different playthroughs that the game physically cannot save anymore. If you do this, then autosaves won't work, and neither will exit saves - which will come in handy if you want to beat Honour Mode while defeating its purpose entirely.

I discovered this quite early on in the run, in the Overgrown Ruins in Act 1. Combat wasn't going very well for me, so I went back to the main menu (Read: rage quit), expecting the game to make an exit save as usual. However, I skipped past a message I'm very used to seeing on other playthroughs - the pop-up that tells you you've run out of save slots. Fearing this would mean my Honour Mode run was gone forever, I went to boot it up again, and instead, it took me to my last manual save from before the fight.

Honour Mode is definitely not supposed to work like this, but with this unique exploit, it does. Instead of taking on the fight that almost killed me, I went straight to the Emerald Grove to get some more XP. It may have been accidental, but yes, I'm now a dirty little cheater. And if I hadn't then gone back to previous playthroughs and deleted some unused save files, then I could have save scummed my way throughout the game.

Now, I'm passing this cursed knowledge on to you. If you play on console (which has far more limited save space) and have multiple campaigns, you'd probably find this out on your own anyway. Of course, you might have found this out the hard way by meaning to make an exit save and then losing a bunch of progress, so this serves as a warning too.

But if you are looking to make Honour Mode easier,
