Some Baldur’s Gate 3 Fans Aren’t Happy That Being Evil Doesn’t Pay
Some Baldur’s Gate 3 fans are disappointed that being evil doesn’t pay in the game. They argue that the game’s implementation of evil choices is unrewarding, with players feeling locked out of content and missing out on unique items, companions, and quests.
For example, one player reported that they were unable to complete a quest because they chose to kill an innocent NPC. Another player said that they were not able to recruit a certain companion because they had a low reputation.
Some players have also complained that being evil makes the game more difficult. For example, evil characters are more likely to be attacked by other NPCs, and they may have a harder time finding allies.
Larian Studios, the developer of Baldur’s Gate 3, has acknowledged the criticism and said that they are working to improve the rewards for evil choices. However, they have also said that they do not want to make being evil too easy or rewarding, as they want to encourage players to make morally complex choices.
Ultimately, whether or not being evil pays in Baldur’s Gate 3 is a matter of opinion. Some players may find that the challenges and rewards of playing an evil character are worth it, while others may prefer to play a more heroic role.
As for why Baldur’s Gate 3 is $60, Larian Studios has said that the price is necessary to cover the cost of development and to ensure that the game is high quality. They have also said that they believe the game is worth the price, given its size and scope.
Whether or not you agree with the price, there’s no doubt that Baldur’s Gate 3 is a ambitious and impressive game. It’s still in early access, but it’s already shaping up to be a classic.
