Baldur’s Gate 3’s seventh—and last—main patch launched yesterday, bringing with it a smorgasbord of delightfully fiendish endings: Spoilers to comply with.
Whereas earlier than, your character’s heel-turn would merely render them smiling diabolically on the Absolute’s throne, these new terrifying finales provide you with a variety of choices starting from turning into a tyrannical conqueror to inflicting ultraviolet insanity on the populace.
One such ending, nonetheless, seems to have been thought of, totally animated, after which deserted within the sport information, as found by YouTuber SlimX.
This ‘screw it, I am going residence’ ending sees your character—now emboldened with the Absolute’s energy—merely tear their tadpole from their cranium and slow-walk out of body, whereas those that you have been about to subjugate stare on, completely baffled, as you will have a last-minute change of coronary heart and vacate your new seat of energy. We have all been there.
Watch On
Alas, this scene is flagged as “IMPOSSIBLE”. As SlimX has found earlier than, Baldur’s Gate 3 has a breadth of forbidden moments gated behind this tag, stopping them from ever seeing play. These vary from sequestered elective companion dialogue to Karlach’s notorious fourth wall break.
I can kind of see why, on this case. Truly turning into the Absolute requires a betrayal of the very best order—slipping into the literal seat of energy you’ve got been attempting to thwart all the sport. Merely giving up and strolling away would not make a thoughts flayer tentacle’s lick of sense once you really contemplate it.
It additionally leaves an enormous hanging mind of Damocles over town of Baldur’s Gate—as in, who the hell is gonna clear up that factor? Is it going to go on a senseless rampage and not using a psychic grasp? Is it going to regain management, go ‘oh, effectively, again to taking on the world’, and kill you anyway? Will it sink into the bay just like the world’s saddest balloon? Is it simply gonna float there and turn out to be a vacationer attraction?
Whereas this complete factor’s giving me worldbuilding mind rot, imagining a complete ecosystem bobbing up across the inert mind (the Elder Mind miner’s union is to not be trifled with)—it is not precisely a wise or satisfying ending for somebody who’s already walked the trail of darkness. Apart from, the bloody butchers of Baldur’s Gate 3 are already spoiled for alternative.
