Baldur's Gate 3's hidden depths continue to unveil themselves. Larian Studios' RPG is rich with secrets, many discovered by dedicated dataminers.
One such discovery, a previously unearthed dark ending, has resurfaced during testing of the game's eighth major patch. This ending allows the protagonist to forcefully remove and destroy the illithid parasite without harm. A subsequent choice presents itself: depart with companions, or leave them behind.
The community speculates that this ending will be fully implemented 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 on social media. He recently commented on these industry-wide job cuts, emphasizing the importance of valuing employees and placing the burden of financial strain on leadership, rather than frontline developers. He stressed the critical role of retaining institutional knowledge for future projects, arguing against large-scale layoffs between or after project completion.
