Baldur's Gate 3: Unveiling Hidden Depths and Industry Reflections
Larian Studios' Baldur's Gate 3 continues to reveal its secrets, captivating players and fueling discussions within the gaming community. Dataminers have unearthed numerous hidden elements, including a previously discovered, brutal ending.
This dark ending, rediscovered during testing of the upcoming eighth major patch, allows the protagonist to violently remove and destroy the illithid parasite without suffering harm. A subsequent choice presents itself: depart with companions or leave them behind. Many speculate this ending will be fully implemented with the release of patch eight.
Recent layoffs at BioWare, the studio behind Dragon Age: The Veilguard, have ignited conversations about the current state of the gaming industry. In response, Michael Daus, Larian Studios' publishing director, took to social media to emphasize the importance of valuing employees. He argued that leadership should shoulder the burden of financial difficulties rather than resorting to widespread layoffs between or after project completion. He stressed the critical role of retaining institutional knowledge for future projects.
