Some characters in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 are willing to join you in fights \u2013 Dame Aylin being one of them. For the uninitiated, she\u2019s not just some regular run-of-the-mill NPC. Dame Aylin is the daughter of Selune, an Aasimar demigod who was abducted and used as a source for Ketheric\u2019s immortality. The only problem is that despite her status as a powerful immortal being, she\u2019s not always the best at lending a helping hand. In a Reddit thread, one player revealed that they decided to be a \u201cbackstabbing jerk\u201d on their eighth playthrough, going down the route where they\u2019d give up Dame Aylin to the wizard Lorroakan. \u201cIn every encounter I\u2019ve ever had, Aylin is trash,\u201d they said. Though what came next taught them an important lesson not to underestimate NPCs. \u201cNow I give her up to Lorroakan, and ALL OF A SUDDEN, she gets three assistants that all have 200 HP, a reaction that can do nearly 150 damage and can cast invulnerability as a bonus action on top of the extra attack that puts out like 40 damage.\u201d The user explained that they tried to be \u201ccute\u201d by casting Hunger of Hadar. But alas, before they could do anything, they received so much damage and their companions got wiped before they could even take a turn. \u201cI just can\u2019t believe how horrible Aylin is until I\u2019m the one that has to fight her,\u201d they added. Following the reveal, many players were amused in the comments. Some didn\u2019t even hold back to crack jokes regarding the user\u2019s situation. \u201cAh, the counterpart to the ol\u2019 \u2018The boss vs the boss after you unlock him as a playable character\u2019 meme\/trope,\u201d said one player. Meanwhile, one player said: \u201cAylin is hobbled by the meta rule that NPCs can\u2019t overshine the protagonists; making her the big threat means she\u2019s allowed to cut loose and live up to her boasts.\u201d Another mentioned, \u201cThis is the only reason I don\u2019t turn her in. I don\u2019t want to deal with that s***.\u201d Whether or not you want to turn in Dame Aylin to Lorroakan is all up to you. At the end of the day, either choice will lead to a fight to break inside the Ramazith\u2019s tower.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player stunned after getting absolutely stomped by \u201ctrash\u201d NPC Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players have learned the hard way not to make one key choice that leads to a particular NPC turning against them.
