Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players discover glaring Withers plot hole larian studiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 fans have noticed a strange plot hole involving Withers, the helpful undead who hangs out at your camp and says lots of mysterious things. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 expects players to take a party of adventurers out into the world, but these warriors and wizards aren\u2019t your only friends in the game, as Withers will be pulling you back from the brink of oblivion whenever needed. You can first encounter Withers in a tomb near the start of the game, where he is chilling in a sarcophagus. He will go on to hang out in your camp, where he will resurrect dead allies, bring in fresh hirelings, and allow you to respec characters from scratch. There are many lingering mysteries surrounding Withers, but there\u2019s one that occurs throughout the whole game, yet most players never notice it, partly due to the UI and partly due to his unusual dialogue when engaging with party members. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players are wondering how everyone learned Withers\u2019 name A user on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Reddit asked others: \u201cWhen did the party collectively decide to call him Withers?\u201d He never mentions his name, yet he\u2019s referred to as Withers by other characters and is mentioned by that title in the UI. Users in the thread quickly had comedic answers in response to this plot hole. \u201cThey read his name above his head,\u201d one user suggested, while another said, \u201cMy headcanon is that they all just collectively decided to call him that as a nickname.\u201d \u201cAs soon as one character thinks of it, they all know it because of the tadpoles,\u201d one user explained, \u201cIt happens constantly throughout the game that you\u2019ll experience a story event and characters in camp that shouldn\u2019t have a way to know about it talk about it like they saw it first hand. It\u2019s all tadpole stuff.\u201d This error could be because Withers had several different names in the Early Access period of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. Larian might have wanted to keep the intro scene vague so that they wouldn\u2019t need to change any dialogue in the future and then forgot to include a moment where he actually said his name. The strange case of Withers\u2019 name could also be because he\u2019s heavily implied to be someone else. Larian might not have decided whether they would reveal this secret in-game, so he never formally introduced himself, but other characters somehow knew the name. Withers might be the strangest character in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, with a hidden agenda that the party is unaware of. The mystery of the name is just one in a long list of bizarre traits held by this powerful undead mage and is one that\u2019s unlikely to be answered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
