A new evil ending has been revealed in Baldur's Gate

Baldur's Gate 3: Unveiling Hidden Depths and Industry Reflections

Larian Studios' Baldur's Gate 3 continues to yield its secrets, captivating players and dataminers alike. Recent discoveries have resurfaced a previously unearthed ending, unearthed again during testing of the eighth major patch. This dark ending allows the protagonist to forcefully remove and destroy the illithid parasite without harm. The narrative then branches: the hero departs with or without their companions. The release of patch eight is anticipated to fully integrate this alternative conclusion.

This news arrives amidst industry-wide discussions sparked by BioWare's recent layoffs. Larian Studios' publishing director, Michael Daus, has weighed in on social media, 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 project completion. He highlights the crucial role of retaining institutional knowledge for future endeavors.
