Baldur's Gate 3's hidden depths continue to unveil themselves. Larian Studios' RPG is a treasure trove of secrets, many unearthed by dedicated dataminers.

One such discovery, a particularly grim ending, has resurfaced during testing of the game's eighth major patch. This ending allows the player character to forcibly remove and destroy the illithid parasite, surviving unscathed. A subsequent choice presents itself: depart with companions, or leave them behind.

The community speculates that this previously hidden conclusion will be fully integrated with the release of patch eight.

Recent layoffs at BioWare, the studio behind Dragon Age: The Veilguard, have ignited conversations about the gaming industry's current climate. In contrast, Michael Daus, Larian Studios' publishing director, remains active online.

He recently weighed in on these industry-wide job cuts, emphasizing the importance of valuing employees and advocating for leadership to shoulder the burden instead of frontline developers. He argues against the practice of significant team layoffs between or after projects, stressing the crucial role of retained institutional knowledge for future endeavors.
