This article contains spoilers for Baldur’s Gate 3’s Dark Urge storyline.After defeating Orin in Act 3, Redditor Shinobi-King18 decided to enter her chambers, and was met with an interesting surprise. On the floor is a dead NPC, marked “Fallen Bhaalspawn.” The user noticed that the dead character was a white dragonborn, much like the defaultDark Urge inBaldur’s Gate 3.

Baldur’s Gate 3was one of the most successful games of 2023, a surprise considering the game had been in Early Access for three years prior. Despite the success, it was recently revealed that there will beno DLC forBaldur’s Gate 3, and any potential sequel will not be developed by Larian Studios. The developer is forging its own path going forward, and it’ll be fascinating to see what it does with its new-found freedom.
