It seems Larian cut a lot of content from Baldur’s Gate 3, and while this is not a surprising thing when it comes to game development, it’s nonetheless an interesting peek into what could have been. Some of these things, if they were added would make the game much better with fewer broken narrative lines. Like for example, the whole epilogue was cut from the game, but seemingly still exists in the files and is fully recorded. You got to wonder what happened here. Time restraints, money running out, or maybe they just wanted to get the game out before Starfield? Who knows, and maybe it will be restored in the inevitable “enchanted edition”. We will see.

Welcome to yet another Baldur’s Gate 3 article – are you fed up yet? If not, in this post, I will talk about some additional stuff that I left out in my review – mostly because of space, and to be honest, some things I came to think about after it was written. There won’t be too much about the story here, however, I will talk about it, especially the ending – so here comes the spoiler warning. It will mostly be about the game mechanics and things of that nature that I think should be mentioned.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is if nothing else a roller coaster ride. After almost 60 hours of playtime now it does still hold up in many ways, but some of the writing is just terrible, and then I mean the focus on everything having to be sexual. Also, one or two of the companion characters seems to be written in the school of Joss Whedon – constantly ironic and pixie-esque stooped in post-modernism with a modern way of talking (swearing included), which has a way of taking you out of the setting.
