Baldur's Gate 3 continues to unveil its secrets, as fans eagerly delve deeper into Larian's intricate world. Dataminers have unearthed numerous hidden elements, 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 eliminate the illithid parasite by physically extracting and destroying it, all without suffering any harm. Following this pivotal moment, players face a crucial decision: whether to depart with their companions or leave them behind as they venture forth alone.
Speculation is rife among the player community that this evil ending will be fully integrated into Baldur's Gate 3 with the release of the eighth patch, promising even more depth and replayability to the game.
In related industry news, BioWare, the developer behind Dragon Age: The Veilguard, has recently announced layoffs, reigniting discussions about the health of the gaming industry. Michael Daus, the publishing director of Larian Studios, has taken to social media to voice his concerns about these layoffs. He emphasizes the importance of valuing the workforce and argues that decision-makers should bear the brunt of any necessary adjustments rather than the regular employees. Daus believes it's crucial not to lay off significant portions of development teams between or after projects, as retaining institutional knowledge is vital for the success of future endeavors.
