Baldur's Gate 3 is a treasure trove of secrets, with Larian Studios gradually unveiling the depths of their game. Dataminers have unearthed numerous hidden elements, including an intriguing evil ending. This ending was rediscovered during the testing phase of the eighth major patch, where the protagonist can dramatically remove and destroy the illithid parasite without any harm to themselves. Following this, the narrative branches into two paths: one where the hero and companions depart together, or another where the hero leaves the companions behind.
The gaming community speculates that the eighth patch might fully integrate this dark ending into Baldur's Gate 3, enhancing the game's already rich narrative.
Meanwhile, the gaming industry faces challenges, highlighted by recent layoffs at BioWare, the creators of Dragon Age: The Veilguard. These layoffs have sparked discussions about the health of the industry. Michael Daus, the publishing director of Larian Studios, has been vocal on social media, particularly about these layoffs. He emphasizes the importance of valuing workers and criticizes the practice of significant staff reductions between or after projects. Daus argues that retaining institutional knowledge is crucial for the success of future projects, suggesting that the burden of decision-making should not fall on regular employees.
