Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s plot purely exists based off Druid incompetence Larian StudiosDruids are incredibly useful to have around, but the ones in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 are really bad at their job and allow evil to flourish right next to their homes. Like in D&D, the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Druids can call on the might of nature itself to power their spells. They have a deep connection to the animal kingdom and can communicate with beasts. More importantly, they can transform into various animals, giving them access to their enhanced senses. Not that you\u2019d know this based on the Druids in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s first act. A thread on the game\u2019s Reddit page has fans complaining about how the magical Druids cannot detect Auntie Ethel, a powerful hag hiding in their midst. \u201cI mean none of them noticed the Ox, Or Khaga\u2019s secret friends\u201d, one user wrote, while another said, \u201cBecause the grove druids are bad at their collective job and it is Halsin\u2019s fault.\u201d \u201cExplains why Halsin stayed archdruid for so long despite not ever wanting it,\u201d one user joked, \u201cDude knew he could not find a suitable replacement unless he recruited someone from another country.\u201d Auntie Etherl\u2019s presence can at least be explained by her illusion magic, but she\u2019s not the only one around, as detailed by one user.\u201dThey don\u2019t even notice the goblins in the tunnel leading directly to their grove, nor the gnoll assassin, nor the other low-level druids hanging out right there inside their living space. \u201cThese guys show an impressive amount of incompetence.\u201d These aren\u2019t the only issues with the Druids, as there is evil five minutes from their home that goes undetected. That being said, they are pretty busy hassling refugees and performing dangerous rituals, so maybe they\u2019re too preoccupied to deal with all the impending threats in and around their homes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
