Baldur's Gate 3's hidden depths continue to unveil themselves. Larian Studios' RPG is proving to be a treasure trove of secrets, many discovered 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 forcibly remove and destroy the illithid parasite, surviving the process unscathed. A subsequent choice presents itself: depart with companions, or leave them behind.
The community speculates that this previously hidden ending will be fully implemented with the release of patch eight.
Recent layoffs at BioWare, the studio behind Dragon Age: The Veilguard, have fueled industry-wide conversations about the current climate. In contrast, Larian Studios' publishing director, Michael Daus, remains active on social media, using the platform to address these concerns. He emphasizes the importance of valuing employees and advocates for leadership to shoulder the burden of restructuring instead of resorting to widespread layoffs between or after projects. He highlights the critical role of retaining institutional knowledge for future endeavors.
