Just like Dungeons &#038; Dragons, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s most popular quality is its versatility. Whether you want to just take down every character in the game, romance a certain companion, or go about a quest in a clever way, the game will let you. This leads to some fantastic techniques, discoveries, and broken spells, but can also lead to players missing out on a few features. Usually, that\u2019s because they take down Minthara without realizing or let Jaheira fall meaning Minsc is off limits \u2013 but in this case, it\u2019s led to one player missing out on practically everything. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players shocked as fan plays game without talking to anyone Sharing their discovery on Reddit, one user revealed the interesting choices their brother-in-law made when diving into the game: \u201cMy brother-in-law is playing Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 and really enjoying it, so of course I start asking him about the choices he\u2019s made and the companions.\u201d After asking their brother-in-law, they found out \u201cthat he\u2019s in Act 3 and his only companions are Shadowheart, Astarion, and Jaheira.\u201d \u201cIs he doing an evil run? No! The guy just doesn\u2019t talk to anybody\u201d revealed the poster, going on to explain how the player ended up missing Karlach and Gale entirely, watched Shadowheart kill Lae\u2019zel, ignored Halsin, and completely missed Wyll. The poster went on to reveal: \u201cWhat also cracks me up about this is that this is also exactly how he plays D&#038;D. No roleplay, only hacking and slashing. He\u2019s also shocked that I\u2019m not using the illithid powers for role-play reasons.\u201d Naturally, if this is how he plays D&#038;D then it makes sense to see a similar playthrough in BG3. As expected, the comments were filled with many fans finding the run hilarious, with some claiming, \u201che\u2019s trying very hard not to be the main character.\u201d However, others were quick to explain how they\u2019d accidentally done a similar thing in their first playthrough: \u201cI\u2019m not even gonna make fun of him, I did the exact same thing my first playthrough. Didn\u2019t talk to Wyll at the camp, didn\u2019t really explore the first Act area so no Karlach, thought that releasing the Shadow Curse would come later, and so lost Halsin to that.\u201d If this playthrough reveals two things it\u2019s that players are always finding new ways to explore the game and that Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is extremely forgiving to players who don\u2019t like talking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players stunned as fan unknowingly ignores every companion Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players are shocked after seeing one player exploring the game without talking to anyone and unknowingly ignoring all companions.
