Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Minsc revelation turns players against the Emperor Larian StudiosA Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player says they now hate the Emperor after learning of how he manipulated Minsc. Opinions vary when it comes to the Emperor, a Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 character who some players love to hate while others readily grant him favor. Much of the disdain towards the character stems from his selfishness and manipulative behavior. While such traits should be expected from a Mind Flayer, one fan has discovered a transgression they simply cannot forgive. A self-proclaimed \u201cEmperor stan\u201d said they can no longer side with him after discovering \u201che used the image of Minsc\u2019s dead friend and Wychlaran to manipulate Minsc?! That\u2019s so messed up!\u201d The Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player expressed their disappointment in a Reddit post, along with a screenshot featuring a dialogue exchange between their Tav and Minsc. During the conversation, Minsc advises Tav to stop working with the Emperor and recalls a \u201cvery cruel trick\u201d the Mind Flayer played on him. To manipulate Minsc, the Emperor came to him in the guise of a deceased friend, Dynaheir, nearly convincing Minsc that she lived again. Such a revelation has the OP rethinking their loyalty to the powerful Mind Flayer. They aren\u2019t alone in this thinking, either. One player said that though they haven\u2019t made it far in their evil run, this news about the Emperor\u2019s trick on Minsc \u201cstings.\u201d It especially hurts because Dynaheir represented \u201cMinsc\u2019s reason for being\u201d in BG1. Other Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 fans said the reveal explained the Emperor\u2019s hostility towards Minsc \u2013 his seeing through the disguise proved he couldn\u2019t be easily manipulated. However, some argue that such a story shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise given the Emperor\u2019s nature. Reads one comment, \u201cHe uses the image you are most attracted to in your head. Why would it be different with Minsc?\u201d The Emperor may remain a divisive character for a long time to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
