Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player discovers gross way Orin was created Larian StudiosOne of the best things about Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is how deep its lore goes. However, that can be either a blessing or a curse, as many BG3 players realized after discovering how Orin came to be. From discovering the true identity of Withers, exploring who the primary Gods are, or just understanding more about the world around you, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is rich in story. Sure, most players learn plenty from the original storyline, but the game is also littered with information in books, journals, and more. However, not all information is one most players actually want to learn, with some disturbing truths revealing themselves. Especially when it\u2019s about everyone\u2019s favorite Shapeshifter, Orin. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 has a surprising backstory for Orin\u2019s creation Sharing their discovery on Reddit, one user showed a note they found in the game, detailing how Orin came to be. The note read: \u201cThe blood of Bhaal must never be wasted, only multiplied. I knew it from the moment of her birth, and every day thereafter. I watched the babe become a woman \u2013 Helena, my shapeshifting beauty, my daughter, and Bhaal\u2019s waiting womb. In here I planted my Lord\u2019s seed, and thus did we beget the blood-lamb Orin, the child of my child, and Bhaal\u2019s sacrifice in waiting. I did not know that it would be Orin that Bhaal favored, not Helena, but it matters not. Orin would help to bring forth a new birth in Bhaal\u2019s name \u2013 a world baptized in blood.\u201d Essentially, the note reveals that Sarevok Anchev, the son of Bhaal, fathered Helena. He then impregnated his daughter, who gave birth to Orin, making Sarevok her grandfather and father at the same time and Helena both her mother and sister. Naturally, the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 community was shocked, yet not entirely surprised, given the rather questionable nature of the Bhaal followers. \u201cBhaal should just take the title \u2018God of degeneracy\u2019 because his followers go way beyond murder,\u201d said one user, explaining just how normal this is for the worshippers. Ultimately, the Bhaal cult is extremely problematic, and many may even feel a little sorry for Orin, but likely only until they get to actually take her down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
