Still, there are some red lines that players refused to cross, no matter how many times they were presented with them. In a post on Reddit, one player asked the community which paths they wouldn\u2019t pursue when working through Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. As it turns out, there are plenty of options that players considered to be a step too far. Some responses were purely rooted in their objectively negative effects, whether that be losing gold and useful allies or generally making life more difficult moving forward. Others were a little more personal, where players\u2019 feelings dictated the path they took through the game. About the potential avenue of giving beloved dog Scratch to the dog pound, one user said, \u201cI have killed all the druids and Tieflings (even the women and the children), and I have condemned everyone at Last Light to the curse.\u201d \u201cI have sacrificed Wyll for power, forced Astarion to bite that weirdo, and forced the family to leave the home. However, when that monster asked to take Scratch back, I was quick saving and killing her with every weapon and magic type.\u201d Another added, \u201cI agree with a lot here, so I just add another one. I\u2019m not gonna fight the Lava Elemental. He\u2019s just stomping about, in the lava, where he belongs. It\u2019s like going out into the ocean to hunt down a shark, it wasn\u2019t fucking with anyone.\u201d A third added a choice that they felt too nefarious to be viable, \u201cAllowing Shadowheart to go Sharran path. Like, holy s**t, mind wiping a child and forcing her to torture her parents for decades is a level of evil that\u2019s difficult to stomach even on an \u201cevil\u201d play through. Even if one slaughters everyone, they die quick, clean, and relatively fast.\u201d There are thousands of choices to make in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, many of which have unintended consequences. Even with all of that potential for evil, it\u2019s nice to know that many are maintaining a path of moral righteousness in their playthroughs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players can\u2019t bring themselves to make these choices larian studiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 is a game filled with choices and branching narratives that make each playthrough different.
