Baldur's Gate reveals dark new finale

Baldur's Gate 3 continues to unveil its hidden depths as players discover more secrets. Larian Studios' expansive RPG still holds mysteries waiting to be uncovered.

Dataminers have previously uncovered numerous secrets in Baldur's Gate 3, ranging from minor details to major revelations. One such discovery was an alternate ending.

This dark ending recently resurfaced during testing for the eighth major patch. Players found they could forcibly remove and destroy their illithid companion without harming their character. This leads to a crucial decision point - the protagonist can either depart with their remaining companions or abandon them entirely.

The gaming community speculates this alternate ending will be fully implemented with the release of the eighth major patch.

Industry-Wide Layoffs Spark Discussion

Recent staff reductions at BioWare, developers of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, have reignited conversations about the state of the gaming industry. Michael Daus, Larian Studios' publishing director, actively contributes to these discussions on social media.

Daus emphasizes the importance of retaining development talent between projects, arguing that institutional knowledge is vital for future success. He believes leadership should bear the brunt of difficult decisions rather than regular development team members being let go after project completion.
