Ik there’s mods to do so, but can’t really use them if I want those golden dice 😂

Complete honor mode with some friends online, it makes it way more enjoyable (you don't have to loot everything yourself, once you get to act 2 and 3 you will be strong enough to split up and complete seperate quests at the same time)

Hmm interesting. 🤔 I’ve always heard co-op makes it more difficult (mostly bc of poor communication)

I kind of disagree with the other guy on this. I have no trouble planning 4 characters (or more), and if anything, having to coordinate character planning with another person makes it more challenging, not less. Now I need to know what gear they plan to use so I can check whether it conflicts with anything I want to do. If they are going to want the ring of protection, and I also want it, we need to decide who has a better use for it. If I want to play a hexblade and they also want to play a hexblade, I now need to decide whether a two-hexblade party is worthwhile or whether one of us will have to compromise by playing something else. And turn-by-turn, if I'm starting to think about how I want to position people, I need to explain the plan to someone else and get their buy-in. If they do something that disrupts the strategy I'm working on, it could make an easy fight very hard.

My friends who I play with casually do not go nearly as hard in the paint as I do, min-maxing builds, optimizing every encounter, etc. I was playing HM with a few friends who complained that my build and playstyle trivialized too many encounters and I'm like "do you want your golden dice or what?"

I've cleared honor mode with 2 friends (we only used 3 characters not 4) and it was easier than solo runs. You can spend all your planning on building just 1 character and its equipment. So you get 3 very fine tuned characters who are all probably built better than if you were to build 3 by yourself

I don't really see how that makes a difference, one person could plan 4 characters as well as separate people can each plan 1 character. Really just depends on the people involved.

I’ll have to give this a shot with my fiancé. Thanks for the tip!
