A small, nasty detail in Baldur’s Gate 3 you will never see because you have to play the unfavored companion

If you never have Wyll in Baldur’s Gate 3, you’re missing a little detail related to a devil.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is known for the developers thinking of nearly everything possible. Whether it’s about the effects of items, talents or features – nearly everything is taken into account. However, these details even extend to rather unusual places, such as the level-up screen. There’s a permanent reminder for a character that terror is never far away.

Baldur’s Gate 3 got its final patch a while ago:

What is this detail? When characters in Baldur’s Gate 3 reach a new level, gain abilities or learn talents, it’s usually a joyful moment. Not so for Wyll. The warlock is accompanied every time he wants to complete a level-up by an eerie laughter. As soon as you finish the level-up, you can hear Mizora’s devilish laughter in the background.

You can see how it sounds in this video – even though the video mistakenly claims it’s only heard during class changes. It occurs with every level-up:

Why is Mizora laughing? Why Mizora laughs at Wyll every time he levels up is probably open to personal interpretation. Perhaps it’s just a regular reminder that Wyll sold his soul to a devil – or Mizora is simply in a terrible good mood because Wyll is plunging deeper into the pact with new powers, from which there will never be an escape.

Why is Wyll so unpopular? The fact that many people don’t know this little detail is mainly due to Wyll often being neglected and often having no place in the group. Wyll is perceived as quite boring by the community, which might also be due to him being integrated and revised relatively late in the development of the game. Compared to all the other companions, he simply seems “boring” to many, and thus they never get to enjoy Mizora’s lovely laughter.

Details like these ensure that even after years, there is still something new to discover in Baldur’s Gate 3. This has also happened to some other players, who only discovered a fundamentally basic game mechanic after 900 hours, which makes the fights much easier.
