Baldur’s Gate 3 is big and has numerous potentialities, and a few gamers might full the sport with out ever utilizing sure companions (not taking a look at you, Minthara). One participant, nevertheless, managed to complete the story with out ever utilizing a significant character.
Extra particularly, a Reddit consumer referred to as Dirty_USB accomplished Baldur’s Gate 3 with out Lae’Zel, they shared on Sept. 17. It’s not like they disliked her and didn’t recruit her, or killed her when she was locked in a cage although. The participant truly by no means found Lae’Zel locked up within the cage, regardless of supposedly exploring the complete space.
“I by no means discovered her. Someway, in a roundabout way, I explored each inch of act 1 besides the realm the place she’s been caged up,” the participant wrote.
Effectively, it does sound like a significant inconvenience. Whereas Lae’Zel isn’t the one tank-like character you meet within the first act, because you additionally encounter Karlach, for instance, she’s a pivotal ingredient to the story. Many gamers, myself included, discovered her annoying at first, however have grown loads to love her. On high of that, her storyline is absolutely compelling, and I consider it’s the most effective within the sport.
The participant has stumbled upon what I wish to name the “Gale treatment” (not a really authentic title, I do know). Some gamers usually neglect to recruit Gale since to take action you might want to work together with an unstable portal you come throughout early. However, for some, it’s simply too dangerous to take motion with some weird-acting portal, and fully ignore it, which makes them not recruit Gale in any respect.
On a extra severe word, nevertheless, it needs to be tougher to overlook Lae’Zel than Gale. However, as we all know, Baldur’s Gate 3 is a sport the place the whole lot is feasible—even lacking out on the sport’s greatest characters and finishing it both method.
