Baldur's Gate Unveils Chilling New Evil Ending

Baldur's Gate 3's hidden depths continue to unveil themselves. Larian Studios' RPG is a treasure trove of secrets, many unearthed by dedicated dataminers.

One such discovery, a previously-found evil 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 unharmed. A subsequent choice presents itself: depart with companions, or leave them behind.

Speculation suggests the eighth patch will fully integrate this alternate ending into the main game.

Recent layoffs at BioWare, the studio behind Dragon Age: The Veilguard, have fueled industry-wide conversations about job security. In contrast, Larian Studios' publishing director, Michael Daus, remains active on social media, addressing these concerns. He emphasizes the importance of valuing employees and advocates for leadership to shoulder the burden of financial difficulties, rather than resorting to widespread layoffs between or after project completion. He stresses the crucial role of retaining institutional knowledge for future development endeavors.
