Baldur's Gate 3 is a treasure trove of secrets, and with each passing day, Larian Studios continues to unveil more about their captivating game. Dataminers have been instrumental in uncovering numerous secrets, ranging from minor details to major plot points, including a particularly intriguing evil ending.
This evil ending was recently rediscovered during the testing phase of the game's eighth major patch. In this scenario, the protagonist can eliminate the illithid by physically extracting and annihilating it, all without suffering any harm. Following this dramatic event, players face a crucial choice: either the hero and their companions can depart together, or the hero can leave the companions behind.
The gaming community speculates that the eighth patch will fully integrate this ending into Baldur's Gate 3, adding another layer of depth to the game's narrative.
In other news, BioWare, the developer behind Dragon Age: The Veilguard, has recently announced layoffs, sparking discussions about the current state of the gaming industry. Michael Daus, the publishing director of Larian Studios, has been vocal on social media about these industry-wide layoffs. He emphasizes the importance of valuing workers and suggests that decision-makers should bear the burden rather than the regular workforce. Daus argues against the necessity of significant layoffs between or after projects, highlighting the importance of retaining institutional knowledge for the success of future endeavors.
