Larian Studios left many devastating letters to players throughout its D&#038;D RPG, such as Dammon\u2019s letter about Karlach in the epilogue. Some notes have also been called \u201cnightmare-fuel\u201d and unsettled players more than anything else. In this case, upon defeating a Fist of Bane member named Gasper in Act 3, players can read a letter from his mother congratulating her son on landing a job with a future. The letter explained how Gasper\u2019s father was proud of him for carrying on the Throaks name and was taking her out to Elfsong Tavern to celebrate. Although the Reddit poster felt dejected, as denoted by the sad emoticon in the title of the post, the majority of the replies weren\u2019t remorseful in the slightest. Why would this be the case? Well, although fans may believe Gasper to be entirely innocent, many comments pointed out the fact that the NPC is a Fist of Bane member, meaning he works for Gortash. Gortash is one of the three main villains of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, and it wouldn\u2019t be hard to believe that his foot soldiers know just how corrupt he is. \u201c[H]e\u2019s not just some innocent man in over his head,\u201d one reply explained, \u201che\u2019s in deep and probably firmly believes in what he\u2019s doing or he would never have made it that far.\u201d Another stated that if the player hid just out of sight before triggering the fight they could hear Gasper telling another guard not to feel bad for killing or hurting the Gondians, who are slaves and prisoners of the Iron Throne. Interestingly, fans may also feel a lack of guilt after visiting Elfsong Tavern where Gasper\u2019s parents are dining. \u201cYou can find out his mom is cheating on his dad with Tamia Holzt,\u201d a response detailed, \u201cand then she decides to very publicly leave him for her.\u201d It\u2019s clear that Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 fans know to think twice before feeling regretful about an NPC death, as not everyone is who they may seem to be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players lack remorse for NPC death despite heartbreaking letter DexertoOne Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 NPC drops a letter upon defeat that may make you regret your actions and reload an old save, but surprisingly, many players aren\u2019t moved.
