Baldur's Gate 3 continues to unveil its mysteries, captivating players with its depth and complexity. Larian Studios' game has been a treasure trove for dataminers, who have unearthed numerous secrets, including a particularly intriguing evil ending. This ending was recently rediscovered during the testing phase of the game's eighth major patch. In this scenario, the protagonist can eliminate the illithid parasite by physically extracting and destroying it, all without suffering any harm. Following this dramatic act, the story branches into two paths: the hero and companions can depart together, or the hero can choose to leave the companions behind.
The gaming community eagerly anticipates the release of the eighth patch, expecting it to fully integrate this dark ending into Baldur's Gate 3. This addition promises to enrich the game's narrative, offering players new choices and consequences that align with the game's theme of moral ambiguity.
In other news, the gaming industry has been rocked by recent layoffs at BioWare, the studio behind Dragon Age: The Veilguard. These layoffs have sparked widespread discussions about the health of the industry. Michael Daus, the publishing director at Larian Studios, has been vocal on social media about this issue. He emphasizes the importance of valuing workers and argues that the burden of tough decisions should fall on management, not the regular workforce. Daus believes that it's unnecessary to lay off significant portions of the development team between or after projects, as retaining institutional knowledge is crucial for the success of future endeavors.
