New Evil Ending Unveiled in Baldur's Gate

Baldur's Gate 3 is a treasure trove of secrets that continue to captivate fans as Larian Studios slowly unveils more of the game. Dataminers have been instrumental in uncovering these hidden gems, ranging from minor easter eggs to major plot points. One such discovery that has recently resurfaced is an evil ending found during the testing phase of the eighth major patch. In this ending, the protagonist can dramatically eliminate the illithid threat by physically removing and destroying it, all without sustaining any harm. Following this pivotal moment, the story branches into two paths: the hero and companions can depart together, or the hero can choose to leave the companions behind.

There's a growing anticipation among players that this intriguing 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, the gaming industry is grappling with significant changes, highlighted by recent layoffs announced by BioWare, the creators of Dragon Age: The Veilguard. These events have sparked widespread discussions about the industry's health and future. Michael Daus, the publishing director at Larian Studios, has been vocal on social media about these issues. He emphasizes the importance of valuing workers and argues that the burden of tough decisions should fall on executives rather than the regular workforce. Daus believes it's unnecessary and detrimental to lay off a substantial part of the development team between or after projects, as preserving institutional knowledge is crucial for the success of future endeavors.
