Baldur's Gate 3 continues to unveil its mysteries, captivating players with its depth and complexity. Larian Studios' game has been a treasure trove for dataminers, who have unearthed numerous secrets, including a particularly intriguing evil ending. This ending was recently rediscovered during the testing phase of the game's eighth major patch. In this scenario, the protagonist can dramatically remove and destroy the illithid parasite without suffering any harm. Following this, the narrative branches into two paths: the hero and companions can depart together, or the hero can choose to leave the companions behind.
There is a growing anticipation among the player base that this evil ending will be fully integrated into Baldur's Gate 3 with the release of the eighth patch, adding another layer of choice and consequence to the game's already rich storyline.
In related news, the gaming industry has been rocked by recent layoffs at BioWare, the studio behind Dragon Age: The Veilguard. This has sparked widespread discussion about the health of the industry. Michael Daus, the publishing director at Larian Studios, has been vocal on social media about these issues. He emphasized the importance of valuing workers and criticized the practice of laying off significant portions of development teams between or after projects. Daus argued that retaining institutional knowledge is crucial for the success of future projects, and the burden of tough decisions should not fall on regular employees.
