Choosing one strange course of action near the end of Baldur’s Gate 3 reveals a treasure trove of hidden lore, but doesn’t explain it to the fullest extent. Taking place in the Forgotten Realms setting for Dungeons & Dragons, Baldur’s Gate 3 incorporates 40 years of DnD lore. For the most part, it’s a complete story in and of itself – most central concepts in the story are well explained through dialogue. However, it still exists in the context of millennia of Faernian history, and occasionally touches on a more arcane piece of background.
