Baldur's Gate 3: Unveiling Hidden Depths and Industry Reflections
Larian Studios' Baldur's Gate 3 continues to yield its secrets, with dataminers recently rediscovering a previously unearthed ending during testing of the upcoming eighth major patch. This dark ending involves the player character forcefully removing and destroying the illithid parasite, surviving unharmed. A subsequent choice presents itself: depart with companions or leave them behind. The community anticipates this ending's full implementation with patch eight's release.
This discovery coincides with recent layoffs at BioWare, fueling industry-wide conversations about workforce stability. Larian Studios' publishing director, Michael Daus, actively engaged in these discussions on social media, emphasizing the importance of valuing employees and advocating for leadership to shoulder the burden of restructuring instead of relying on widespread team dismissals between or after projects. He stressed the critical role of retaining institutional knowledge for future development endeavors.
