Join the fiery debate among Baldur’s Gate 3 players as they discuss the game’s most wicked choice yet.

Brace yourself, because some of them will make your skin crawl.

There has been a lot of discussion about the level of choice available in Baldur’s Gate 3, as well as the strength of its ‘evil’ playthrough. However, even after spending hundreds of hours playing the game, I was not prepared for some of the debates that arose among players regarding what constitutes the “most evil” decisions in the game.

There has been a lot of talk regarding the extent of choices available in Baldur’s Gate 3, as well as the power of the game’s ‘evil’ playthrough. However, even after investing hundreds of hours into the game, I was not prepared for some of the discussions that arose when players began debating the game’s “most evil” decisions.

One Reddit user shared their opinion on giving Aylin to Lorroakan during Act 3 of the game. They stated that it was worse than letting Shadowheart kill her in the Gauntlet of Shar. The user pointed out that after liberating Aylin and reuniting her with Isobel, giving her up to Lorroakan and putting her back in a cage seems senseless. The only reason for doing it would be to earn some coin, which makes the decision even more questionable.

It is definitely a morally questionable decision, but it didn’t take long for the players with dark tendencies to arrive. Two players described the kind of mischief one can engage in by resisting the urge, while also manipulating Jaheira to join their side. They ultimately ended up violently betraying her, and most likely Minsc as well, at Bhaal’s shrine.

There are many Shadowheart shenanigans that you can enjoy. For instance, you can choose to betray God’s Favorite Princess to Vicinia in the House of Loss and sacrifice a character you have likely spent countless hours adventuring with. However, this will give you nothing in return. Alternatively, you can assist Shadowheart in rescuing her parents, only to kill them afterward. This is considered to be unnecessarily evil because although Larian has created a cutscene for the betrayal, it does not benefit the story and is just callous.

Among all the disturbing insights into Larian’s psyche, what struck me the most was that some players genuinely regretted the choices they made in the game. This speaks volumes about the quality of the writing, as some decisions were so emotionally taxing that the players immediately went back on them. Although this realization is disturbing, it’s also a testament to the depth of the journey offered by this adventure.
