As winner of Game of the Year, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 has surprised players worldwide with its deep storyline \u2014 but this discovery takes things one step further. Some characters in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 are downright unlikeable for multiple reasons and as it turns out, their names live up to the hate they receive. Kagha is one of the initial NPCs players encounter in the first Act by going to the Grove. In a series of cutscenes, Kagha can be seen harassing a Tiefling child for stealing \u2014 something which left a bad taste in many people\u2019s mouths. One player took to Reddit to point out that Kagha\u2019s name is pronounced similarly to \u201ccaga\u201d in Portuguese. \u201cCaga\u201d translates \u201cto sh**,\u201d which the original poster said was accurate considering Kagha\u2019s character in the game; a dictator-like woman who shows no leniency, even towards innocent children. However, not all players agree that Kagha is a bad character. As some have pointed out, the more you learn about her the more likable she becomes. \u201cShe\u2019s not that bad compared to a lot of other characters. She had good intentions but they became warped because she gave in to fear. She became a cruel person because of it. Once you make her understand what she\u2019s done she immediately backs down and accepts responsibility for it,\u201d explained one person. The conversation on alternative meanings sparked other players to translate the names of more NPCs into different languages. Another familiar character whose name is also assimilated with the word \u201csh**\u201d is Cazador Szarr, as in Hungarian \u201cszar\u201d means the same thing. Despite this, not all Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 characters have names that throw shade at them. One user pointed out that Aylin, a temporary companion that can be found in Act 2, means \u201cmoon halo\u201d in Turkish. A name that fits perfectly with her being the daughter of Sel\u00fbne, who is the goddess of the moon. Whether the naming of these NPCs intentionally considered meaning in other languages or not, the Easter eggs are nonetheless plenty of fun to discover.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 NPC names discovered to have hilarious double meaning Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players have discovered that multiple NPCs in the game have been \u201cappropriately\u201d named with double meanings based on their character.
