Baldur's Gate 3 player misses all of Act 3 after falling for the fake ending: "I'm so incredibly stupid"
"I mean it’s still a valid ending, just no♛t a good one"

One 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Baldur's Gate 3 player got the bad ending without even realizing it was the bad ending, missing out on the entirety of the massive Act 3. Naturally, I need to issue a spoiler warning through the end of Baldur's Gate 3 Act 2 here, so if you haven't yet reached the titular city, you should stꦉop reading now.
Still here? Cool. Gale, one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Baldur's Gate 3 companions, carries within him what amounts to a magical nuclear warhead, and as you develop your relationship with him, you learn that he's been charged with the destruction of the Absolute - the Elder Brain that's in control of the Mind Flayer tadpole in the heads of numerous people throughout the wor♐ld, including your own. So he wants to get close to t♈he Absolute and blow it up, taking himself and anyone nearby out with it.
, though admittedly a pretty anticlimactic one that leaves the world in a dire state. The narrator even concludes the scene by saying "It is an ending, of sorts. Though not the one destiny had in store for you."A reasonable person might simply reload and make a diff🐭erent choice at that point. But in a post titled , Reddit user megaderp675 defied common wisdom. "I don’t know if anyone else had this same thing happen to them but I realize now that I๊ didn’t even see Act 3 and I thought I beat the game, but no, I never even went to the city. Instead I just suicide bombed Gale and rolled credits and thought Act 3 was that. Which is very wrong."
"I mean it’s still a valid ending, just not a good one," notes in the comments. There's a running theme in the comme💧nts that this fakeout ending actually makes sense from an in-universe perspective - you get a perfect opportunity to wipe out the biggest threat the world is currently facing, so why not take it? The fact that your death is anti-climactic is just a harsh dose of reality.
This comment from is my favorite, though: "LOVE IT. I did this with Skyrim. ♋Proudly told my husband I finally beat it after hundreds of hours of making new characters. He asked me what I thought of the dragon. …hm? What dragon? I crushed the Stormcloak rebellion. Turns out I didn’t know what the game was about."
Baldur's Gate 3 players have also recently been stunned by the revelation that you can 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:shower the gore off.
