Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players aren\u2019t sold on Act 3\u2019s most consequential decision Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players are taking a closer look at some of Act 3\u2019s biggest moments, and some of them don\u2019t hold up under scrutiny. By now, it\u2019s common knowledge that Act 3 of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 doesn\u2019t hit quite as hard as the first two. The streamlined progress of the first two areas get replaced with a sprawling, and oftentimes overwhelming city, which is more of a chore to explore despite being the name of the game. Additionally, there are some story elements here that don\u2019t match the emotional highs of the first two acts. Baldur\u2019s Gate players are used to literally being spoilt for choice; if there are less than four dialogue options in a conversation that\u2019s usually an outlier. This is why some players find the strangely restricted choice at the end of the game in Act 3 so underwhelming. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players brand Act 3\u2019s big choice as \u201cforced\u201d One player summarised the situation on Reddit, saying: \u201cSo the big choice \u2013 choosing between The Emperor and The Prince. I didn\u2019t like it. It feels so forced. I don\u2019t see why we cannot convince The Emperor to just team up with The Prince. \u201cIt feels so arbitrary, given he\u2019s supposedly such a grand strategist. It sucked and I\u2019m sad about it. I know a lot of people like this choice, but I just don\u2019t see it.\u201d Several other players agreed, with one suggesting: \u201cI think the conflict itself is fine, but it would probably be less controversial if we could persuade the Emperor to wait just a moment, then as soon as we released Orpheus, the prince attacked the Emperor, making him flee through the portal immediately.\u201d Another joked: \u201cI do feel like a large chunk of this game is managing the oversized egos of adult children.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
