Baldurs Gate 3 has been out for a year now, and while Larian Studios wont be releasing any large scale DLC, the developer has continued to tweak the game with new cutscenes and options. A new update is due to release in September that adds new endings tailor-made to the most evil adventurers among us. Larian has shown a few previews of these evil endings on Twitter, piquing fans interest.Larian has showcased clips from a couple of these endings on Twitter, and theyre truly diabolical. One of them shows the Dark Urge, an alternate Origin playthrough, cursing his companions to a terrible fate. For those of us who love choosing the evil playthroughs, its nice to see a little more variety in the endings. It feels great to rehabilitate Astarion and befriend Shadowheart, but sometimes you just want to see the world burn.Father would be so proud.Embrace your destiny and feast your eyes on a new evil ending cinematic teaser for the Dark Urge, landing this September Warning: contains spoilers! pic.twitter.com/1TkwDGqyle Baldur's Gate 3 (@baldursgate3) August 19, 2024The Dark Urge is capable of spectacular acts of evil, but dont worry the traditional player-made protagonist, also known as Tav, can also cause all sorts of problems for everyone. An evil Tav doesnt have the same backstory, or connection with the antagonists. Instead, theyre just evil for love of the game, which I can respect.If you decided happily ever after wasnt for you, theres an assortment of evil ending cinematics new to Baldurs Gate 3, arriving with Patch 7.Heres another sneak peek! Beware, some spoilers ahead! pic.twitter.com/1Z51dOnL2D Baldur's Gate 3 (@baldursgate3) August 14, 2024Its been interesting to see how Larian adjusts the game in its post-launch state. Originally, the drow Minthara could only be recruited if you threw the poor tieflings at the Emerald Grove under the bus. Now, good aligned players can recruit her in act 2, thanks to a sneaky workaround. Some fans are still hoping for more additions here and there, like a forbidden romance with Gortash, but Ill be content with these new dastardly ending scenarios to one of the best RPG tales ever told.
