BG3 runs rampant with strange encounters of all kinds, one of the most notable involving a Dryad courtesan named Naoise Nallinto. Players meet the character in Act 3 at the Sharress\u2019 Caress brothel in Wyrm\u2019s Crossing. After protecting Naoise from her Mind Flayer clientele, she\u2019ll offer a buff that invites companions to describe their deepest desires in a single word. As several users noted in a Reddit post that\u2019s gained a lot of traction, some of the answers are heartbreaking. Karlach simply wishes to be \u201cAlive,\u201d for example, based on her response to Naoise. It\u2019s an understandable desire since the beloved Barbarian has a mechanical heart in desperate need of repair. Wyll tells Naoise of the freedom he covets, a poignant reply given his contractually obligated service to the Archdevil Zariel. Astarion\u2019s desire to be safe similarly cuts deep because of the character\u2019s desperate attempt to escape Cazador, the Vampire Lord who means to use him in a ritual. Player responses in the Reddit thread agree that Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s Naoise Nallinto conversation can become heartwrenching. Reads one such comment, \u201cThese all made me a little sad. Except for Astarion &#038; Karlach\u2019s which made me Big Sad.\u201d Another user said of the Astarion answer, \u201cI\u2019m not the biggest fan of Astarion, but \u2018safe\u2019 made me feel really sad. Poor bastard.\u201d A few people said the Durge also has a response that perfectly befits their story arc \u2013 sane.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 NPC reveals companion\u2019s deepest desires and it\u2019s heartbreaking Larian StudiosNaoise Nallinto is the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 NPC players should meet if they want to understand their favorite companions.
