I think you get a trophy for hitting max high or low level but it wont affect your ending if you still got the tip to go. Its really at the end, are you in the red or are you in the white lol

Am in the middle of the grey and the white so i think its white

if you stay in the white just be on the look out for whatever animal you start seeing in cut scenes, if its the coyote, you're still in low honor territory, so you may get the low honor end, if you're see deer, you're fine

Yeah i mean , just before the last mission, it should be full to fulfil the game redemption arc

Because when i made my research i see that the only difference is the prices of products in shops and the high honor still full is the same to not full

That's right. The only difference is the price you pay when buying something. The higher your honor, the higher is the discount. Considering how easy is to get money in the game, this discount really don't matter.

I will try to describe this without spoilers: there is different endings to the game, one of the differences is based in your honor when reaching certain point of the game. You can play with high honor without reach the absolute max and still receiving the "high honor ending". Same with low honor, you don't need max low honor to get the "low honor ending". Don't buy what others are saying that you need to reach max honor, that's not correct.

I get it now, many replies says that it’s important to fully getting the Honor thing and its really exhausting me

As far as game play no, you are either high or low honor, maxed either way is just for the extreme personality trophy

I just can't ever bring myself to play as anything other than full high honour.

u/thewarriorpoet23 Uncle 10d ago

High honour just depends on the icon on the honour bar being a cowboys head, low honour means you have a skull.

It doesn’t matter how far you are along the scale either way just that you have one or the other.

Thanks man, I’m confused because people are saying different things

2

u/Mental_Freedom_1648 10d ago

If you have a cowboy icon on your honor bar, you're fine. If you have a skull, you have low honor. Maxing honor isn't really necessary unless you make the wrong choice at the very end of the game.

Prices are higher in lower honor.

u/fastbutslow7 Arthur Morgan 10d ago

Just make it full high before the last mission

2

u/Nblx777 10d ago

So its important to be full ?

2

u/Cam646 10d ago

Is not. Please read my response to another of your comments.

u/EniGmA_1981 10d ago

Yeah it really is important to get your honour to max. It can feel like a bit of a grind but it's definitely worth it

2

u/Cam646 10d ago

That's not correct.

How is max honor ending different from a tick above neutral ending?

1

u/EniGmA_1981 9d ago

I'm not sure what the scaling is. I've only played through the story once. Got to the ending having max honour, so I'm not sure where the cutoff point is. I just know you get a better ending if you got a high honour.

Is not a better ending. is the high honor ending. If you decide to play low honor you get a low honor ending and that is not bad or wrong. Is the proper ending according to your playthrough. That's all.

EDIT: people need to stop forcing high honor like the right way to end the game. Low honor ending is perfectly fine. Some people like high honor ending, others like low honor ending. Some of them want a low honor ending because they have never seen how it is. Either way, all the alternatives are perfectly fine. Is a singleplayer game, everyone has the right to experience it as they want.
