As we inch closer to the much-anticipated launch of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, fans are becoming more excited \u2014 but may possibly feel a sense of dread at the thought of work obligations standing between them and the game. Larian Studios, the developer of the epic RPG, has come to the rescue with an amusing solution. In a tweet that had many keen gamers nodding in approval, Larian Studios posted an official-looking \u201cRequest for Special Leave \u2013 Baldur\u2019s Day Dispensation\u201d form. The form allows enthusiastic adventurers to formally request time off from their mundane work duties to answer the grand calling of the new game\u2019s release. The form is as immersive as it is comical, fully drafted in the spirit of the game\u2019s lore and narrative. It provides space for employees to enter their name, company, department, and supervisor\u2019s details before specifying the \u2018Start Date\u2019 and \u2018End Date\u2019 for their epic quest. The true magic lies in the \u201cMotivation for Special Leave\u201d section. Here, the player declares their intent to \u201cembark on an epic adventure,\u201d as they pledge to partake in the \u201clong-awaited time of festivity and merriment, celebrated by denizens and creatures of the realms alike.\u201d The form also acknowledges the possible short-term impacts on the company but assures that upon return the employee will bring newfound skills and relationships, beneficial to both themselves and the company. This clever PR move not only accentuates the game\u2019s theme of adventure and camaraderie but also demonstrates Larian Studios\u2019 understanding of their fanbase\u2019s dedication and excitement. Of course, the form comes with a cheeky disclaimer: \u201cUse of this form and embarking on any quest are at your own risk and peril.\u201d While the legal team at Larian Studios wishes gamers an \u201cenjoyable and memorable Baldur\u2019s Day celebration,\u201d they are quick to wash their hands of any liability for what might transpire during the daring exploits of players. The epic quest begins on Thursday, August 3. Or, well, as soon as you get your leave approved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Skip work for Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 launch with Larian Studio\u2019s \u201cSpecial Leave\u201d form Larian StudiosWith Larian Studios\u2019 ingenious \u2018Request for Special Leave\u2019 form, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 fans are just one signature away from their grand adventure.
