Evil Wyll run has Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players thinking about Origin characters in new way Larian StudiosA Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player who chose to play as Wyll has explained how making evil choices as the game\u2019s noble Warlock created a unique gameplay experience. The player shared on Reddit how making evil choices as Origin Wyll made for an \u201cinteresting and cool\u201d Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 run. Note: Spoilers for Wyll\u2019s storyline to follow. \u201cYou get to really feel like a manipulative bastard who has everyone tricked into thinking you are a hero but actually is just out for themselves,\u201d the poster explains. They add that they enjoyed \u201cthinking about where and when it makes sense to pick the super heroic dialogue and when it makes sense to drop the pretense and be a monster.\u201d While Wyll is among the most traditionally \u201cgood\u201d of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s characters, playing as an Origin character allows you to make choices that they wouldn\u2019t make as a companion. For example, while Wyll is among the companions who leave the party if the player chooses to attack the Emerald Grove in Act 1, as Origin Wyll, the player can have him make that decision himself. In this case, the player chose to turn the Blade of Frontiers moniker into an act, with Wyll becoming a master of deception. Making Wyll truly evil also has an interesting impact on his relationship with his infernal patron, Mizora, particularly when it comes to Wyll\u2019s choice regarding his father. As the poster says, upon abandoning Duke Ravengard, \u201cMizora is actually impressed with your choice and approves of it, even if it breaks your pact.\u201d They also note that it makes later interactions with Mizora feel \u201cmore natural,\u201d and she starts speaking to Wyll as \u201cequals, or at least two fully mature villains who appreciate and admire each other\u2019s scheming.\u201d The complaint the player had about the run was that, because the game doesn\u2019t expect you to take Wyll in such a dark direction, the choice between saving the Duke or freeing Wyll from his pact doesn\u2019t have an \u201cextra depraved option\u201d where you can happily abandon your father and side with Mizora to take over his title with the backing of the Hells. But, hey, nothing\u2019s perfect. This player\u2019s story has others considering how Origin runs can present completely fresh sides of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s characters. As one commenter notes, \u201cWhen you play with [Gale and Wyll] as a companion they very goody goody but you can turn them into evil characters when you play them directly which makes the play through fresh and interesting.\u201d While Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s character creator can be hard to pass up, this evil Wyll example is another reason why the Origin characters are more than worthwhile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
