Larian Studios is once again messing around in the terms and conditions of Baldur’s Gate 3. If you’re reading this, you deserve a medal. You can find out what mysterious contract you’re agreeing to on MeinMMO.
What’s behind the contract? Baldur’s Gate 3 is undoubtedly a huge success, something even the developers didn’t expect. But Larian Studios shows how important it is to read all the user agreements.
If you play the RPG or plan to, be sure to take a look at the terms and conditions (yes, really!). The annoying user agreements that everyone usually skips. Larian Studios has hidden a nerdy surprise for you in the terms and conditions.
What contract are you agreeing to? Players discovered a clever message from Larian Studios in the lengthy terms and conditions of Baldur’s Gate 3. In the middle of the text is a hint: The developers warn players against making deals with supernatural beings of fey, infernal, or other eldritch origins. Better stay away, is the humorous message from Larian Studios.
Similar pact as in Dungeons & Dragons
The terms and conditions of Baldur’s Gate 3 wink at “Dungeons & Dragons” fans and put a smile on their faces. A similar contract appears in the fifth edition of Dungeons & Dragons. In D&D, nearly everyone is constantly trying to lure you into some pacts. Especially Warlocks derive their powers specifically from such a pact with a mysterious being. But don’t worry, a Warlock is unlikely to receive a lawsuit.
What do the reactions look like? Larian Studios’ attention to detail and desire to laugh with fans are evident even in their terms and conditions for Baldur’s Gate 3. Players react enthusiastically to the little details in the user agreements.
Numerous screenshots of the terms and conditions are circulating on social media. Here you can read section five again:

Chesidia commented (via reddit.com): This is the first time in a long time (if ever, I must admit) that I’ve actually read the terms and conditions. To be honest, I’m completely in love with this studio.
In Baldur’s Gate 3, however, there are definitely opportunities for some quite interesting, if somewhat shady, deals:
