Baldur’s Gate 3 is a strategic game packed with non-linear gameplay, which means it doesn’t have one singular story to narrate to the players. All the players deal with different endings, but the upcoming update is going to introduce new cinematics designed for evil endings.

In previous versions, as reported, players who chose to follow villainous paths often felt that their stories lacked the depth and closure afforded to their more heroic counterparts. This update addresses that underplay.

So basically, players who dare to opt for darker paths can be rewarded with more satisfying endings. For this, players will be required to choose characters with malevolent storylines, as these new scenes will be crafted to provide a deeper, more immersive narrative experience.

The new patch is also supposed to have a key upgrade which will make couch co-op play a reality in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Upping the Role Play Element

The Baldur’s Gate 3 patch notes have teased some of these new endings, but they have kept most details under wraps to preserve the element of surprise. This addition promises to be particularly exciting for players who enjoy unraveling desires tending to the wickedness that they intentionally repress while in the real world.

But then a win is a win, a choice is a choice. The patch in question not only brings new endings but also expands on the overall role-playing experience for those inclined toward evil. The update includes improvements to dialogues, quest triggers, and companion interactions, all of which contribute to a more cohesive and engaging villainous playthrough.

Astarion and Shadowheart, the so-called origin characters, will see enhanced reactions and animations, adding layers of complexity to their dark narratives.

Such refinements allow players to dive deeper into the psyche of their characters, making each decision and its consequences feel more impactful. Reportedly, voice actor extraordinaire Neil Newbon was ready to play even a meagre goblin in Baldur’s Gate 3 when he was given the opportunity to star in it.

One thing is for sure that the horizons of Baldur’s Gate 3 are expanding, and the devs can be credited for that. The Baldur’s Gate 3 patch is a testament to this dedication, particularly for players who thrive on exploring the darker aspects of the game.

The exact nature of the new evil endings in Baldur’s Gate 3 is still a mystery, but the anticipation of their arrival is nonetheless thrilling.
