    I played 3 times and picked a different love interest each time (just the women). Karlach was the best because she’s funny but Shadow felt like the most “rewarding” romance despite being completely unrealistic because you think “I can fix her” and then you do

      It is nice to be able to help someone. I think ever companion has ties to the main story. I am still working on finishing my first playthrough.

        They do, it’s a great game! I’m thinking of replaying it on Honor Mode…

          I saw some articles about people playing honor mode and having some bad luck. Like them getting a bunch on critical fails on dice rolls. Rigged! (Grin) And another player finishing the honor run in 38 mins.

            38 minutes has to be cheesed. The world record is like a minute and a half through knocking out shadow and launching her across the map in a box (called Shadowboxing) so I imagine it’s something similar for honor mode

              That is wild. I didn’t read to see how they did it. Didn’t want spoilers, but I know there are lots of ways the game would end early fairly, but you are right, I am not sure 38 mins is a fair play through.

                The speed run is surprisingly spoiler-free! At most you see the face of one of the bad guys during .25 seconds of a cutscenes. Maybe wait until they get officially introduced in act 2 before watching…but it’s worth checking out if for no other reason than to see the guardian the player designed lol

                I got really good at the tech used to do it (launching boxes anywhere) and would throw boxes at my friends any time I found one
