BaldursGate 3 players are already unearthing its best Easter eggs, but this thematically poignant Undertale reference stands out above the rest.
Baldur’s Gate 3 features more mind flayers, dragons, and lustful party members than you can shake a stick at. By the end of the 100-plus hour campaign, your main character will likely have gone through plenty of turmoil and — depending on their relationship with the pesky mind flayer tadpole that was rudely inserted into their skull at the beginning of the whole shebang — more than a couple of lifestyle changes.
It’s a cute, but subtle shout-out to Undertale, another popular RPG that humanizes its monsters and questions the moral fabric underlying player agency. In that game, the main character, Frisk, can approach a mirror near the end of the game and interact with it. At that point, a dialogue box appears, saying, “Despite everything, it’s still you.”
Luckily, others on the internet are also beginning to uncover similarly clever shout-outs to Final Fantasy 14, Diablo, and even a rather obvious harp on Planescape: Torment — considering how much of that game revolves around Avernus, the literal tutorial area of Baldur’s Gate 3.
