As it happens, players feel this mercenary group is arguably one of the worst guards to ever exist in a game. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is a massive world filled with dangers everywhere. Therefore, you will often find the wealthy NPCs in the game will hire guards to protect themselves from harm. However, there is one group of guards whom players believe is the worst to ever exist. This particular group is called the Flaming Fist and you will come across them quite a few times during your journey. Unfortunately, whenever you see them, they will be barely holding onto their lives and mostly failing in their missions. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 fans feel the Flaming Fist is the worst group of guards ever The discussion regarding the topic was initiated by a Reddit user named Petallus. This user claimed, \u201cThroughout the entire game, every time you meet them (Flaming Fist) they\u2019re either barely holding down peace, in a losing fight, or just straight up dead.\u201d They continued, \u201cWaukeen\u2019s Rest burned down and the Duke was kidnapped. The whole Blighted Village and Goblin Camp don\u2019t even concern them apparently. The Shadowlands are completely held together by the Harpers and the Flaming Fist in Last Light is actually a double-agent and tries to kidnap their leader!\u201d They concluded with the statement, \u201cThey have basically no hold on Baldur\u2019s Gate to the point where they\u2019re having trouble with squatters; the Steel Watch has effectively replaced them as the city guard.\u201d Other users also joined in the conversation as a lot of them have the exact same feelings. One such player mentioned, \u201cThey\u2019re a private military force contracted to guard the city. Corruption is pretty common place among their ranks. They\u2019re not really the worst guards ever, but they\u2019re about what you can expect when you have a PMC as a police force.\u201d Another player chimed in, \u201cPretty sure this is just the way the game is. Pretty much every faction\/group is useless until your party shows up.\u201d One player also claimed, \u201cThey are all over the place in terms of when they are on your side or not.\u201d Finally, a player commented, \u201cDisappointed I didn\u2019t hear the \u2018I serve the Flaming Fist\u2019 line from the first games!\u201d Therefore, it seems like Flaming Fists are mercenaries who get hired by others. As a result, they have no obligation to enhance their efforts in any given situation. In addition to that, most players agree they are not very useful, but there is not a lot you can do about that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 fans claim key mercenaries are \u201cworst group of guards ever\u201d Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 has a certain kind of guard known as the Flaming Fist.
