Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 presents a multitude of options that allow players to become epic heroes or arguably more evil than the villains they\u2019re fighting against. A perfect example pertains to Arabella, a young tiefling girl players can encounter throughout the game. In Act 1, players can unlock a quest to rescue a kidnapped Arabella after meeting her worried parents. How the quest plays out depends on the player\u2019s choices and skills, which determine whether the child lives or dies. If that wasn\u2019t dark enough, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players have found a tragic Easter egg that occurs if Arabella dies \u2013 and of course, some players are making it even darker. Arabella\u2019s parents react to her corpse in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 As Reddit user Evoxrus_XV points out, Arabella\u2019s parents will actually react if you return to them with her dead body. As they note, the parents will notice her and cry as they mourn their daughter. Of course, Evoxrus_XV wasn\u2019t the only player to find this. In fact, one commenter discovered the same Easter egg in a much darker way. As they explain, \u201cAfter letting Arabella die I wanted to kill her parents using her as a projectile and it stopped them running away as they had to mourn.\u201d What inspired this player to throw a child\u2019s body at her parents is probably best left a mystery. Developer Larian Studios\u2019 foresight here deserves all the praise it\u2019s getting. Sure, there are plenty of other instances where NPCs won\u2019t react to their loved ones\u2019 bodies being dumped in front of them, but the fact that it happens at all is impressive. And the fact that so many people have tested it out probably says far more about the fandom than it does Larian.
