Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 was praised upon release by RPG fans for its extensive attention to detail, dialogue, and story options that left players feeling like the game was one of the most complete releases to date. The RPG let players decide whether they wanted their character to be a saint or straight-up evil, with the choices they made throughout their journey affecting the lives of their companions and ultimately the ending of 2023\u2019s most celebrated RPG release. Based on the choices made the endings can dramatically vary, but for some players none of the endings lived up to the previous \u201cabsolutely fantastic\u201d gaming experience of Baldurs Gate 3, leaving the player underwhelmed by the \u201cterrible\u201d finale to their character\u2019s story. Players found \u201cabsolutely fantastic\u201d Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 ruined by \u201cterrible\u201d ending. One player complained about the endings, describing them as \u201cterrible\u201d and \u201chideous.\u201d (Spoiler Alert) Players responded to the post, agreeing with the feeling that Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 endings felt underwhelming, with one of the main gripes being the lack of companion endings: \u201cThe main issue is that not all companions had their endings shown..\u201d For some, they felt that the immersive gameplay experience, dictated and responsive to nearly every decision made by the player, was missing from the endings as well, with decisions that felt huge to the player having little effect on the ending: \u201cIn my first run, right at the very end, I gave my goody two shoes protag a real Bilbo \u201cwhy shouldn\u2019t I keep it\u201d-moment. \u201cI quicksaved, stabbed Empy, controlled the brain, and became the new Absolute. \u2026and got nothing. They showed 2 seconds of my newly mind-controlled companions clapping and that was it.\u201d Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 was one of the hottest launches of 2023, maintaining its dominance in the Steam charts months after the launch, but a few players hope that developer Larian Studios will change the endings to match the otherwise \u201cabsolutely fantastic\u201d RPG experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players underwhelmed by game\u2019s \u201cterrible\u201d endings Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 endings have disappointed some players who found them \u201cterrible\u201d compared to the rest of the game.
