Baldur's Gate 3's hidden depths continue to unveil themselves. Larian Studios' RPG is a treasure trove of secrets, many uncovered 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 forcibly 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 hidden ending will 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 job security. In contrast, Larian Studios' publishing director, Michael Daus, remains active online. He's used his platform to address these layoffs, emphasizing the importance of valuing employees and advocating for leadership to absorb the brunt of such decisions rather than frontline developers. He stressed the critical role of retaining institutional knowledge for future projects.
