Baldur's Gate 3: Unveiling Hidden Depths and Industry Reflections
Larian Studios' Baldur's Gate 3 continues to yield its secrets, with dataminers unearthing hidden content. A particularly intriguing discovery is an alternative ending, recently rediscovered during testing of the upcoming eighth major patch. This dark ending allows the player character to forcefully remove and destroy the illithid parasite without harm, presenting a subsequent choice: depart with companions or leave them behind. Many anticipate this ending's full implementation with patch eight's release.
This news comes amidst industry discussion sparked by BioWare's recent layoffs. Larian Studios' publishing director, Michael Daus, weighed in on social media, emphasizing the importance of valuing employees and advocating for leadership to shoulder the burden of restructuring instead of frontline developers. He stressed the critical role of retaining institutional knowledge for future projects.
