Baldur’s Gate 3: A player eliminates all NPCs that cross his path – But suddenly they are all back

A player in Baldur’s Gate 3 takes out all NPCs, but suddenly replacement characters appear. MeinMMO reveals what is behind it.

Spoiler: The article contains story spoilers from Act 1. And small spoilers from Act 2.

In Baldur’s Gate 3, players have the freedom to express their creativity almost without limits and make various decisions. A YouTuber named Proxy Gate Tactician recently discovered something astonishing in this game: when a player eliminates an NPC, a replacement NPC takes its place, and even if this replacement NPC is eliminated, another one appears.

Here’s how you can reduce your carrying weight in Baldur’s Gate 3:

There are replacement NPCs for the replacement NPCs

What did the YouTuber discover? YouTuber Proxy Gate Tactician delved into the various ways to interact with the Tieflings in the Emerald Grove. Normally, you receive an invitation from the Tiefling leader to a celebration after you deal with the goblins. However, Proxy Gate Tactician chose to eliminate the Tiefling leader Zevlor.

Yet he still received the invitation. Another Tiefling named Asharak stepped in and took on Zevlor’s role. There’s even a third in the NPC replacement queue – Cerys. She usually only appears in Act 2, unless Zevlor and Asharak did not survive. She is the final replacement NPC for Zevlor.

However, the YouTuber wondered if Larian Studios might have developed other replacement characters. He opted to exclude all characters except Zevlor from his party by eliminating them. To his surprise, he found that almost all original Tieflings actually have special replacement characters.

Proxy Gate Tactican comments on this in his YouTube video:

It is truly impressive to see that Larian has even developed backup solutions for backup characters. […] One of the Tieflings even has an entertaining and unique dialogue where she asks to dance with your character.
