Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players create adorable Scratch Origin run concept Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players have come up with a brilliant idea for how the good boy Scratch could work as an Origin Character. Of all the characters in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, it\u2019s not a stretch to call Scratch one of the most beloved. The adorable and loyal dog can be found early in Act 1 and, barring any fetch-related incidents, will stick with you for the entirety of the story. Scratch\u2019s surprising amount of depth for an option animal companion led one player to call him \u201cthe Real Main Character,\u201d sparking a discussion on what a potential Scratch Origin character run could look like. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players devise perfect Avatar Scratch idea Reddit user SteveTheCleric explained why Scratch is the true protagonist of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, citing the dog\u2019s role throughout the game, his backstory, and the fact he\u2019s modeled after game director Swen Vincke\u2019s own pet. This prompted a commenter to say, \u201cScratch origin run when,\u201d leading to a host of ideas on how Faer\u00fbn\u2019s goodest boy could join the ranks of Astarion, Shadowheart, the Dark Urge, and others. \u201cScratch origin run where you get find familiar for the other characters and run around with four party member \u2018familiars\u2019\u201d suggested one user. Whether Scratch would be summoning existing party members or other animals like the Owlbear cub, Gale\u2019s Tressym companion Tara, and the Strange Ox is unclear, though either paints a pretty hilarious image. Some have even found workarounds for Scratch\u2019s lack of a mindflayer tadpole. While the simplest solution would be to give Scratch a tadpole (opening up the door for some incredible skill checks and bizarre potential transformations), leaving him tadpole-free could make him more compelling. As the original poster argues, \u201cHe has his own agency. The players are drawn to Baldur\u2019s Gate because the Absolute wants them there. Scratch goes \u2018cuz he wants to.\u201d Though unlikely, getting to play as Scratch would certainly put a unique spin on a Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 run. Even if Origin Scratch doesn\u2019t become a reality, we can only hope future updates give the Forgotten Realms\u2019 best boy more opportunities to be a hero.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
