Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players praise hated NPC: \u201cHe doesn\u2019t deserve all the hate\u201d Larian StudiosNot all Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 NPCs were made equally, and not all are loved in the same way \u2013 but poor Zevlor just gets far too much hate for the one mistake he made in Act Two. During Act One, we meet the Tiefling refugees, led by Zevlor. His aim is to lead them to safety over to Baldur\u2019s Gate, but in the process, they\u2019re attacked by the Cult of the Absolute. Without too much of a fight, Zevlor apparently freezes and surrenders the entire group \u2013 at least that\u2019s what the Tieflings think. In reality, he was instantly mind-controlled, meaning he had no real power over his actions. Nevertheless, fans and in-game characters are quick to hate the NPC for his \u2018cowardly\u2019 actions, and some players have had enough. \u201cI don\u2019t understand what was Zevlor supposed to do\u201d shared one player on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Reddit, slamming the hate for the Paladin. They went on to add: \u201cWhen they get ambushed, the f**k was Zevlor supposed to do? Yeah, he got mind-controlled and surrendered, but even if that didn\u2019t happen, what was he supposed to do? Fight? Against the absolutists, with a group of civilians and kids?\u201d While, on the surface, his surrender looked weak, the alternative was certain death for a group of innocent refugees. Interestingly, this is a prime example of mixed information, as the game\u2019s NPCs don\u2019t know he was mind-controlled, whereas the players do, meaning they end up drawing different conclusions. Zevlor is still a pretty hated NPC throughout the game but fans are quick to jump to his defense, commenting that \u201cit\u2019s completely tragic\u201d when talking about his story. However, some slammed the BG3 story for such hatred, adding that \u201che is one of the few characters I wish had some sort of redemption arc. Come act 3 he\u2019s just\u2026 gone.\u201d Perhaps, with a good redemption arc, Zevlor could be forgiven by the other NPCs or even a few players. But while Larian Studios have promised full mod support and a few more dark endings, no more new stories are coming, so Zevlor may just have to deal with the negative feelings toward him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
