With such a large scope, it\u2019s tough for Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 to get across all the emotions it needs at every point. After all, some depend on your choices, and others can be approached in a different light depending on the player, the character, or even the Origin character you choose to play. Nevertheless, if you choose to save the Tieflings in Act One then you\u2019ll be in for a devastating surprise when you get to Act Two and find they\u2019ve been murdered, with some being kidnapped. Unfortunately, upon discovering this scene, the lack of emotion and respect given by the companions can be shocking to many. The community seems to echo the same sentiments, with many taking to social media like Reddit to express their confusion when first stumbling across those poor Tieflings, explaining how they\u2019re \u201cdisappointed with lack of Act 2 responses\u201d from the companions in particular. While some of the other Tieflings, like Alfira and Rolan, react well and take the discovery pretty hard, the likes of Karlach, Gale, and even Wyll just seem to brush past the devastating scene, with most more focused on their own stories. Naturally, that companion focus is important as it\u2019s typically the drive to get the player to participate in the companion quests, but it\u2019s tough to ignore how stark it is to see Wyll and Karlach ignore a horrific murder that they could feel indirectly responsible for depending on their actions. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s second act is undeniably touching and emotional, but this scene often just feels lacking after such raw emotion not long before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 doesn\u2019t give Act Two\u2019s saddest scene the respect it deserves Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s second act has some of the saddest and most disturbing scenes in the game, but one of the hardest reveals just feels entirely underwhelming.
