Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players say one NPC was a \u201cmissed opportunity\u201d at evil companion Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players are discussing how one important NPC would make the perfect evil companion, lamenting the missed opportunity. A common criticism of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is its comparative lack of content for evil runs, especially where companions are concerned. Those who choose to side with the goblins and raid the Grove in Act 1 can recruit Minthara, but that results in Karlach and Wyll permanently leaving the party, Halsin becoming unrecruitable, and Gale potentially leaving if you fail a check. Patch 5 did introduce another way to recruit Minthara without losing the others, but that doesn\u2019t change things for evil runs. This has players wishing for more evil companions, and fans agree one existing NPC would be the perfect fit. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players think Mizora should be a companion Mizora, the cambion servant of the archdevil Zariel, is already an important part of the game as Wyll\u2019s Warlock patron. She appears at various points in Wyll\u2019s questline and, if you play your cards right, will help out during the final battle. Players can even romance her if they really want. While evil playthroughs cause Wyll to leave, Mizora\u2019s role has players wishing she could officially join the party as his replacement, giving Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 its only default Sorcerer companion. Reddit user kef34 explained in depth why and how this could work. In terms of story and recruitment, Mizora is found imprisoned in the Mind Flayer Colony as part of Wyll\u2019s quest. Even without him, though, it would make sense for her to be there \u2013 and to need someone to help her out. As the poster explains, Mizora and the player could \u201cnegotiate some sort of contract\u201d in which she has to help fight the Absolute in exchange for her freedom. Though the obvious issue here is Mizora being too powerful for the party, the poster discusses how the game could nerf her, such as being \u201cweakened from being trapped in Moonrise\u201d or \u201ca clause in our contract\u201d limiting how much power she\u2019ll offer the party. The poster also points out that Mizora is \u201ccheeky, sardonic, playful and loving every second of being an insufferable asshole,\u201d which would make her a good contrast to the incredibly pragmatic Minthara. Plus, she could provide \u201ca lot more insight into Hell\u2019s internal workings, politics and culture.\u201d These are all pretty sound reasons, which has some commenters calling Mizora \u201ca missed opportunity.\u201d Of course, in a game as massive and intricately crafted as Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, getting a new companion seems pretty unlikely. Still, there\u2019s a clear desire among players for more evil-exclusive content, and a playable companion Mizora would deliver just that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
