Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players insist the Trial of Love quest is a \u201cbig missed opportunity\u201d Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players are slamming Orin\u2019s competencies again, only this time they\u2019re insisting the Trial of Love quest is a \u201cbig missed opportunity\u201d for romance, and the shapeshifting villain. If there\u2019s one incompetent villain in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, it\u2019s Orin. The shapeshifting, murdereress is constantly stumbling her way into power and only seems to do damage to players through chance and luck. Other times she fails to come up with an idea so brilliant that the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 community deems it a \u201cbig missed opportunity.\u201d One such idea revolves around the Trial of Love quest, inside the Circus during Act Three. During the Circus, players will meet a Dryad, otherwise known as Zethino. Upon speaking to her, you\u2019ll be instructed to select your romantic interest. What follows is a compatibility test which unfortunately has no bearing on your relationship with that companion. However, for some unlucky players, Zethino will turn into Orin, revealing that the sneaky shapeshifter has been there the whole time, and has tricked the player into giving away vital information. Instead of using that information to kidnap a loved one down the road, it turns out Orin does absolutely nothing with it, which is classic for her really. \u201cI was surprised \u2013 I didn\u2019t know the Dryad was even real\u201d shared one player on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Reddit, proving how convincing Orin really was: \u201cFor some reason, I thought all this love test thing was completely made up by Orin to gather intel on our party and there has never been a Dryad. But then\u2026 after that, she just does nothing with this invaluable knowledge about her enemies.\u201d As such, the player highlighted that the \u201cLove test is a big missed opportunity\u201d and was convinced that \u201cit was never her idea to begin with! She just saw this Dryad and thought: Wouldn\u2019t it be cool if I kill and impersonate her and jump-scare the party to death?\u201d Interestingly, one user was quick to explain that \u201cOrin would originally kidnap the player\u2019s love interest, but the play testers strongly disliked this.\u201d By making Orin kidnap that companion, fans would instantly focus on attacking Orin first, which \u201cAct 3 wasn\u2019t fully set up for.\u201d Regardless of the changes, it perfectly proves just how incompetent one of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s main villains really is, and how much of a missed opportunity it was for the deadly Changeling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
