Baldur's Gate 3's hidden depths continue to unveil themselves. Larian's RPG is a treasure trove of secrets, many unearthed by dedicated dataminers.
One such discovery, a particularly grim ending, has resurfaced during testing of the game's eighth major patch. This ending allows the player character to forcefully remove and destroy the illithid parasite, surviving the ordeal unscathed. A subsequent choice presents itself: depart with companions, or leave them behind.
Many speculate that this dark ending will become fully accessible with the release of patch eight.
Recent layoffs at BioWare, the studio behind Dragon Age: The Veilguard, have ignited conversations about the gaming industry's current climate. In contrast, Larian Studios' publishing director, Michael Daus, remains active online, addressing these industry-wide concerns. He emphasizes the importance of valuing employees, advocating that leadership should absorb the brunt of financial difficulties rather than resorting to widespread team dismissals between or after projects. He highlights the critical role of retaining institutional knowledge for future endeavors.
