Baldur's Gate 3 is a treasure trove of secrets, and as Larian Studios continues to unveil more about the game, the community's excitement only grows. Dataminers have been instrumental in uncovering these hidden gems, 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 dramatically remove and destroy the illithid parasite without any harm to themselves. Following this, the story branches into two paths: one where the hero and their companions depart together, and another where the hero leaves the companions behind.
There's a strong buzz 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 narrative.
In other news, BioWare, the developer behind the upcoming Dragon Age: The Veilguard, has recently announced layoffs, sparking widespread discussions about the state of the gaming industry. Michael Daus, the publishing director at Larian Studios, has been vocal on social media about these industry-wide layoffs. He emphasizes the importance of valuing workers and suggests that decision-makers should bear the burden rather than the regular workforce. Daus argues against the necessity of significant layoffs between or after projects, highlighting the importance of retaining institutional knowledge for the success of future endeavors.
