Baldur’s Gate 3excels at player freedom. Along with the tons of scripted paths you’re able to take, the game gives you all the tools you need to absolutely break the game and do things your way. While this makes progressing in the game fun and engaging, it also sets the stage for players to mess around just for the kicks.
At some point or another, you’ve surely come across a character that has rubbed you the wrong way. Whether it’s their actions, their tone, or even just their overall vibe, they just make you want to turn the game’s freedom against them. Over on theBaldur’s Gate 3 subreddit, players have revealed some of the pettiest things they’ve done on their adventures.
Baldur’s Gate 3 Players Can Be Quite Petty
It seems saving the city comes second, after taking revenge on someone that has annoyed you in Baldur’s Gate 3. On the game’s subreddit, players have been talking about how petty they’ve been during their playthrough.
The original poster, a Roguish Bard Durge, didn’t take too kindly to Mattis' tricks in the Emerald Grove. The little Tiefling tried to steal their stuff even after a warning, so they decided that all the Tiefling children must pay. They stole all of Mattis and Silfy’s stuff, then proceeded to go down and steal all of Mol’s stuff, including her teddy bear. She also went ahead and stole the idol.
A lot of the pettiness was targeted towards Wulbren. It seemsBG3 players really hate this guy, but it’s easy to see why. Among the comments, players mentioned that they threw his hammer right at his head to get him out of his cell, broke his chair in the Last Light Inn so he had to stand throughout, and some even saved him from the cell, only to push him into the water while everyone escaped.
Other instances of pettiness involved making Shadowheart carry every Selune item in Act 1, making Astarion carry all the garlic, slapping Gale’s hand while he’s stuck in the portal instead of helping him, putting rotten food on Mystra’s alter and kissing Gale in front of it, and stealing the box of the guy outside of the Baldur’s Mouth newspaper.
Some of the other comments were straight up homicidal, but most of them were about how they annoyed an NPC, which may or may not have eventually led to their death.
