Baldur's Gate 3 continues to unveil its secrets, with Larian Studios gradually revealing more about the game. Dataminers have been instrumental in uncovering various hidden elements, including an 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 forcefully extracting and destroying it, all without suffering any harm. Following this, the narrative branches into two paths: the hero can either depart with their companions or leave them behind.
There's a growing anticipation among players that this evil ending will be fully integrated into Baldur's Gate 3 with the release of the eighth patch, adding another layer of depth to the game's rich storyline.
On another note, the gaming industry has been rocked by recent layoffs at BioWare, the creators of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, sparking widespread discussions about the industry's current state. Michael Daus, the publishing director of Larian Studios, has been vocal on social media about these layoffs. He emphasizes the importance of valuing workers and believes that the burden of decision-making should not fall on regular employees. Daus argues against the necessity of significant layoffs between or after projects, highlighting the importance of retaining institutional knowledge for the benefit of future projects.
