Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s nuclear corpse explosion is ending playthroughs Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s Wizard companion Gale can royally screw up your playthrough if you aren\u2019t careful. His penchant for consuming magical knick-knacks has apocalyptic results. Spoilers ahead. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is a wild ride and if this headline didn\u2019t make that clear, other anecdotes from players should. It\u2019s a metagaming gaming masterclass that allows players to break combat with ridiculous builds. This comes in large part thanks to its faithful recreation of the tabletop experience that is D&D. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s rules and choice have allowed creative players to craft Owlbear nukes and genocidal chain reactions. Now the game has managed to recreate another classic D&D experience, the shockingly cruel Dungeon Master. Players who fail to heed the warnings of the Wizard Gale upon his death are having their playthroughs nuked in a literal judgment day event. It\u2019s the dreaded TPK on steroids according to one Reddit user. In Gale\u2019s very first discussion with players, he\u2019ll let them know of a peculiar need to chow down on magical items, lest there be dire consequences. If you decide to unalive him instead, his spirit will appear telling you to resurrect him in two days to avoid a terrible fate. Guys, he\u2019s not playing. Reddit user NameNotFound12 and their wife found that out the hard way in their split-screen playthrough. Explaining that their wife was not an avid gamer and so they decided she should \u201ctake the lead\u201d. She eventually leads them to kill poor Gale and disregard his ominous prophecy. \u201cAfter 8 hours of playtime together, we get a cut scene of Gale back where we killed him, lighting up like a Christmas tree, and then proceeding to nuke our entire play through,\u201d NameNotFound12 revealed. \u201cBoom! Game over.\u201d They explained in the comments that they thought Gale was just being sneaky and didn\u2019t want to die and they aren\u2019t the only ones. Streamer Skeeziksdt cut together a TikTok of them \u201ccalling Gale\u2019s bluff\u201d and the explosive results. Fortunately, the apocalyptic engine of destruction encased in Gale doesn\u2019t actually end the game. You will however be prompted to load an earlier save on account of everyone in the world (your party included) dying. Gale is one of many potential companions in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 but he\u2019s not a necessary party inclusion. The best way to avoid his interference with your playthrough is simply to leave him stuck in that portal where you found him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
