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

Baldur's Gate 3's hidden depths continue to be unearthed. Larian Studios' RPG is steadily revealing its secrets, many discovered through dedicated datamining efforts.

Dataminers have previously uncovered numerous secrets, including a particularly intriguing ending. This dark ending has resurfaced during testing of the game's eighth major patch. In this scenario, the player character forcefully removes and destroys the illithid parasite, surviving unscathed. A subsequent choice presents itself: depart with companions, or leave them behind.

The community speculates that this ending will be fully implemented with the release of patch eight.

Recent layoffs at BioWare, the studio behind Dragon Age: The Veilguard, have fueled industry-wide conversations about job security. In contrast, Michael Daus, Larian Studios' publishing director, remains active on social media, addressing these concerns. He emphasizes the importance of valuing employees and suggests that leadership should bear the brunt of financial difficulties rather than resorting to widespread layoffs between or after projects. He highlights the critical role of retaining institutional knowledge for future endeavors.
