Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s Elminster shocks players with his real race Baldur’s Gate 3The Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 community has discovered the legendary Elminster, a staple of Dungeons and Dragons lore, is not human in the game. Instead, his character sheet has described him as a Construct. Elminster, traditionally depicted as a wise and powerful 20th-level spellcaster, is a revered figure in the D&D universe. This iconic character has graced the pages of Forgotten Realms comic books and starred in other D&D games like Neverwinter Online. For every Dungeons and Dragons fan, Elminster has always been a human \u2013 until now. A Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player made a startling discovery while examining the character sheet of the supposed Elminster. The \u201cWeary Traveler\u201d isn\u2019t the legendary wizard himself but just a mere Construct. Shocked, the player turned to Reddit, seeking clarity. The community confirmed the revelation: Elminster doesn\u2019t appear in the game. Instead, the \u201cman\u201d encountered at the beginning of Act 2 is a robot, a magical construct created by Elminster via a simulacrum spell. Without the disguise, he would look pretty similar to Bernard. The real Elminster tasked this artificial messenger with delivering a critical message from Mystra to Gale in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. This is what propels his character arc forward. Player reactions ranged from amused disbelief to humor. One player was notably offended and remarked, \u201cElminster didn\u2019t even take the time to deliver the news to Gale himself.\u201d Another BG3 player joked, \u201cAnd he still demanded we feed him.\u201d Others defended Elminster, \u201cIt\u2019s probably not a good idea to go say hello to the walking nuclear bomb from up close.\u201d Since Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 was released in August 2023, players haven\u2019t stopped combing through its three-act saga for more juicy secrets. They have never left empty-handed, but they have been a bit shaken over the bizarre things Scratch fetches or the shocking truth about Orin\u2019s father.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
