Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players discover how disgusting the city actually is Larian StudiosThose exploring every inch of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 are realizing that the city must smell pretty awful, even by medieval city standards. As pointed out by one Reddit user on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 subreddit, Baldur\u2019s Gate itself must smell pretty terrible thanks to the Steel Watch. Note: Spoilers for the Steel Watch Foundry to follow. Those who explore the Steel Watch Foundry in Act 3 will learn the truth behind the massive Constructs that police the streets of the city. Created by Enver Gortash, the Steel Watchers actually contain zombies whose brains were removed and infected with mind flayer tadpoles and controlled by Banite cultists. Since each Construct contains a rotting corpse and there are so many patrolling the streets of Baldur\u2019s Gate, the poster asks \u201cshouldn\u2019t the Steel Watch smell absolutely awful?\u201d Others have chimed in to say the Steel Watch isn\u2019t the only factor that would make the city pretty disgusting to actually have to live in. As one commenter adds, \u201cthere was an entire \u2018murder house\u2019 that reeked of corpses in that city and the guards couldn\u2019t even be bothered to knock.\u201d They also pointed out the various other \u201cmurder basements\u201d you can find that would contribute to Baldur\u2019s Gate\u2019s terrible odor. Anyone who\u2019s made it to Act 3 can tell you that Baldur\u2019s Gate has a murder and corpse problem \u2013 and that\u2019s not even counting anyone who gets in the way of your party, especially when playing as an evil Dark Urge. Of course, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 draws from the same medieval history and fantasy as other settings in the genre \u2013 and medieval cities certainly weren\u2019t known for their hygiene. Still, the zombie-controlled metal creatures and corpse-filled basements mean the city probably smells pretty awful even by those standards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
