This article contains small spoilers for Act One of Baldur’s Gate 3.
Summary
ABaldur’s Gate 3player online has committed what might be the most sadistic act possible in the RPG, after inadvertently killing all the children in the Grove and stuffing them into a single crate. ThisBaldur’s Gate 3player takes the meaning of Dark Urge to an entirely new level.
Baldur’s Gate 3heavily encourages different playstyles and rewards players who experiment with various things over the course of a playthrough. This can involve trying unique builds throughout the entire game, or doing something specific in a particular situation. For example, there was oneBaldur’s Gate 3player who accidentally turned Scratch into an anti-mage grenadeby making the canine companion eat a Sussur Bloom. This created an entirely new way for the player to use Scratch, showcasing the freedom allowed in Larian’s RPG.
One player has used this freedom in a totally different way. Redditor Ferocs chose to raid the Grove with the goblins inAct One ofBaldur’s Gate 3, a choice that led to the deaths of all the children there. They may not have struck the killing blow, but their siding with the Goblins certainly led to the deaths. After seeing events go down, this player then decided to stuff all the corpses into a crate, keeping them all in one place like a real Dark Urge player. There are plenty of evil choices to make inBaldur’s Gate 3, but something about this being totally unprompted hits even harder.

Another gamer in the thread posed another idea, although it won’t be useful for a while. InBaldur’s Gate 3’s Patch 8, the Death Domain Cleric subclass will allow players to detonate corpses, which will make them useful for Ferocs. If they can hold on until Patch 8 is released for the game, they’ll be able to formidable weapons from the Grove corpses, giving this entire situation an even darker tone.
Patch 8 forBaldur’s Gate 3will mark the end of an era. After this, it seems that Larian is largely moving on from the game, barring any essential updates that become necessary in the future. Earlier this year,Larian opened a new studio to assist with two new ambitious RPGs, and it’s exciting to know that the gears are already in motion for the developer’s future.Baldur’s Gate 3has earned Larian plenty of fans, many of whom will certainly stick around to see what the studio produces next.
