A new evil ending has been revealed in Baldur's Gate

Baldur's Gate 3 is a treasure trove of mysteries, with Larian Studios gradually unveiling the depth of its world. Dataminers have been pivotal in uncovering numerous secrets within the game, including a particularly intriguing evil ending that has resurfaced during the testing phase of the game's eighth major patch. In this ending, players can opt to extract and destroy the illithid parasite without harm to the protagonist. Following this dramatic act, the story branches into two paths: the hero and companions can depart together, or the hero can choose to leave the companions behind.

The gaming community eagerly anticipates the full implementation of this ending with the release of the eighth patch, expecting it to add a new layer of complexity to the narrative choices available in Baldur's Gate 3.

In related news, BioWare, the developer behind Dragon Age: The Veilguard, has recently announced layoffs, sparking widespread discussion on the health of the gaming industry. Michael Daus, the publishing director at Larian Studios, has taken to social media to voice his concerns about these layoffs. He emphasized the importance of valuing the workforce and argued that the burden of such decisions should fall on executives rather than the regular employees. Daus stressed that it's crucial not to dismiss a significant portion of the development team between or after projects, as retaining institutional knowledge is vital for the success of future endeavors.
