In Baldur’s Gate 3, everything actually revolves around dialogues that advance your story. However, one player has decided to play the game in a completely different way. He wants to wipe out all life without mercy.
What does the player have in mind? User Dechna shared his evil plan on Reddit. His goal is to eliminate every living being in the game where possible. Only beings that cannot be killed should survive.
In his post on Reddit, he asks the community for help. He doesn’t want to kill the wrong person too early and ruin his game. He fears that he might exclude himself from progressing to the later acts. The Reddit users immediately know what he needs to pay attention to.
More about your dirty secrets has been revealed by the creators of Baldur’s Gate 3:
Community helps, even when it comes to evil things
How does the community help? The community is discussing on Reddit which NPCs could cause trouble if one attempts to eliminate them or attack too early without having completed other tasks first.
Vlaakith, the ruler of the Githyanki, is probably the biggest problem. She could bring a swift end to the player’s group if they really attempt to attack her. Another player has already met his end in Honour mode.
Additionally, the player must first take care of Nightsong before facing Ketheric Thorm. Otherwise, the battle against the boss will not go in the player’s favor. One player seems to have experienced a rare bug in this context.
A character that must survive until the end is the Emperor. If one kills him earlier, many other characters may be spared, but the player will meet a quick end. It’s different if you have a special fondness for the Emperor.
How do you get to Baldur’s Gate without NPCs? Even without NPCs, there is always a way to progress. The path to Moonrise and Baldur’s Gate is also shown in documents that you can find.
The developers at Larian are known for incorporating many “fail-safes”. These prevent players from being unable to continue, even when making really dumb decisions. That’s also the reason why it’s even possible to wipe out everything and everyone while still completing the game.
The player also mentions in his post that Act 1 was completed quite quickly since most of the time in the game is spent on dialogues that no longer need to be held when no living being is left.
