Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players \u201cfeel bad\u201d bringing certain allies to final battle Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 culminates in a huge final battle in which you can summon many of the characters you\u2019ve met along the way, but some players are pointing out issues with the options available. The final boss fight is where the Gather Your Allies quest you unlock early in the game really matters. Based on your decisions \u2013 such as whether to save Wyll\u2019s father or side with the tieflings or goblins \u2013 you can end up with a small army or find yourself all on your own with only Withers to judge you. However, certain potential allies have players thinking twice before calling on them for help. As one player asked the BaldursGate3 subreddit, \u201cDoes anybody else feel bad calling allies in the last fight?\u201d The user explained that, while some characters like Voss and the Nightsong are clearly ready for battle, they feel guilty calling upon the Owlbear cub and Duke Ravengard. While the Owlbear does get armor for the fight, the player says \u201cPoor little thing lost his parents, you nursed him to health and now he has to fight the most vicious and powerful entity in the Realms,\u201d also adding \u201cI don\u2019t want Scratch to puppy-cry if his best friend doesn\u2019t come back.\u201d As for Duke Ravengard, the user says: \u201cDo we really need to endanger [Wyll\u2019s] dad?\u201d \u2013 who, after all, was brainwashed and imprisoned for much of the game. Many fans agreed, saying they don\u2019t pick some of the more vulnerable options, not wanting to use them as \u201ccannon fodder.\u201d Though some said calling on these allies is justified even with the scope of the threat \u2013 with one noting that Duke Ravengard would probably regret not fighting for his city and his son \u2013 others pointed out a more irritating aspect of the final battle. \u201cMy one issue with the whole thing is that you still can\u2019t call your other companions,\u201d they said. Despite being able to call upon so many others, players are still limited to Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s regular max party size of four. That means, assuming you\u2019ve recruited all or most of the game\u2019s companions, several will be stuck in Camp for the endgame. This design choice is likely a result of balance concerns \u2013 after all, bringing up to 11 level 12 characters into an encounter is bound to trivialize the fight. Still, it does seem odd that characters you\u2019ve likely spent most of the game with sit out the last fight especially when, as fans have pointed out, other games with party limits like Persona 5 Strikers have found ways to make sure everyone gets in on the final boss battle action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
