Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players convinced they were \u201ccatfished\u201d by Guardians NexusMods: ItzEvieBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players believe they were \u2018catfished\u2019 by the game\u2019s developers when given the option to fully customize their Tav\u2019s Guardian. Released in August 2023, Baldur\u2019s Gate has taken the gaming world by storm. Not only was it crowned Game of the Year, but it also won Best RPG, Multiplayer, and Community Support. The game takes players on a wondrous journey to and around Baldur\u2019s Gate. With the ability to customize every aspect of the main character and determine the story\u2019s outcome, Baldur\u2019s Gate gives players the ultimate RPG experience. One of the biggest draws to Baldur\u2019s Gate has been its character creation. Once completed, players can create their Tav\u2019s Guardian, who will watch over the character throughout their journey. But Guardians are not what the community originally expected. Fair warning \u2013 spoilers ahead! Baldur\u2019s Gate Guardians aren\u2019t what players expected A post to the official Baldur\u2019s Gate Reddit called out Larien Studios for giving them a false sense of security when creating Guardians. What were once considered to be the overseers of their character became a reality nightmare. \u201cLarian knew exactly what they were doing, giving players the opportunity to customize their dream Guardian at the start of the game,\u201d said the poster. \u201cI spent almost an hour customizing my perfect waifu with lots of eyeshadow and black lipstick, only to get to act 3 and find out that it was a GODDAMN MINDFLAYER the whole time.\u201d Mindflayers are the main \u2018antagonists\u2019 of the game, who take the main characters hostage at the start and implant Mindflayer parasites into their heads. With a ticking timebomb in their heads, the characters have one of two options \u2013 break free from the control or succumb to it. \u201cThe dream guardian is a really clever piece of psychology,\u201d responded one person. \u201cThe game asked me to make them, so they must be trustworthy and reliable. They could have made them a standard pick, male or female, but no, making you design them has that greater emotional pull.\u201d The Act 3 twist had many commenters beneath the post with a mix of shock and awe. Some thought creating your own enemy was devious, but others thought the storytelling could not have been more fitting. Either way, customize your Guardian carefully during your next playthrough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
