Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s most interesting scenes aren\u2019t shown on-screen Larian StudiosKarlach was a late addition to Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, which might be why one aspect of her character design is never fully explained by the developers, with characters only interacting with it off-screen. Karlach has one of the most tragic backstories of any Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 character. She was sold into slavery and sent to Avernus, which is one of D&D\u2019s many hellish afterlives. There, she had a machine called an Infernal Engine installed in place of her heart, one that would make her stronger in combat. Throughout Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, Karlach\u2019s storyline involves the Infernal Engine breaking down, despite attempts to fix it by characters you meet throughout the game world. Users on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Reddit have pointed out a big question about how Karlach\u2019s biology works, especially as it keeps coming up in-game. How does Karlach access the Infernal Engine in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3? So, how exactly does Dammon install the upgrades to Karlach\u2019s Infernal Engine? Based on her character model, the glowing engine appears fully lodged within her chest, with no easy means of access. Users on Reddit weren\u2019t sure, but they had some theories. \u201cMy headcanon is that Karlach\u2019s chest opens up like an easy bake oven, and she\u2019s thought at least once about using the engine\u2019s heat to bake cookies for the party,\u201d one user wrote, while another said, \u201cYou twist the nipples in opposite directions, and the chest cavity opens. Same as any woman.\u201d \u201cThose little circular metal holes in her shoulder work like the SIM card tray release on a mobile phone,\u201d one user speculated, while another wrote, \u201cI think this begs for a mod where Karlach has a metal cylinder in her chest like Tony Stark did in the early MCU.\u201d The obvious answer to this, and every other Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 & D&D-related question, is \u201cIt\u2019s magic.\u201d The more accurate answer is that including scenes showing Karlach installing Infernal Engine parts would have been a pain to animate, so they left it to the imagination. It\u2019s a shame that players aren\u2019t given an idea of how Karlach interacts with the Infernal Engine. It could have made for a great body horror cutscene and further show the pain that she endures on her path of vengeance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
