Anyone know why the whole party dying still wipes the prior honor mode run's status?[edit source]

If you replace the file after a party wipe, isn't it still the save file with no deaths? Ankou (talk) 21:20, 25 July 2024 (CEST)Reply[reply]

Sadly not. Once a party wipe occurs, the game changes flags in the overarching safe file structure to indicate the change from "single save file" > "Normal game".
This can not be changed/reverted by switching the save file. Valk (talk) 14:56, 5 September 2024 (CEST)Reply[reply]
So is it the case that as long as you avoid a party wipe you can always reload a save (i.e. you get a bad roll that kills off a companion) if you replace the save file, so there's some limited value to saving backups of the honor mode file? Ankou (talk) 22:29, 8 September 2024 (CEST)Reply[reply]

It might be possible to copy the save file *while* playing (Verification needed)[edit source]

The instructions state:

  • Before starting the game, copy the current Honour mode save file to a different folder

If i recall correctly, it it possible to copy the save file while playing and replace it then. The game doesnt have to be closed for it. [Needs Verification] Valk (talk) 14:59, 5 September 2024 (CEST)Reply[reply]
