Baldur’s Gate 3 pulls off a major narrative gambit with Orpheus’s story, but when looking back at the game, it could hardly have communicated what was coming more clearly. Among the many strengths of Baldur’s Gate 3, one that stands out in particular is how much work goes into foreshadowing and littering relevant lore across the world. It would be easy to have countless dangling threads in a world as vast and varied as Faern, but although not every single tease ultimately goes somewhere, very little is wasted on the whole.
