Baldur's Gate 3's hidden depths continue to unveil themselves. Larian Studios' RPG is 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 forcefully remove and destroy the illithid parasite, surviving unscathed. A subsequent choice presents itself: depart with companions, or leave them behind.
The community speculates that this previously unearthed ending will finally be fully integrated 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. He recently commented on these industry trends, emphasizing the importance of valuing employees and advocating for leadership to shoulder the burden of restructuring, rather than resorting to widespread job cuts between or after projects. He stressed the critical role of retaining institutional knowledge for future endeavors.
