In Baldur’s Gate 3, the player is expected to rally a collection of allies to help them in the final confrontation of the game against the Elder Brain. While the quest “Gather Your Allies” begins in Act 1, The Emperor does not explain the necessity of the quest until the conclusion of Act 2 with the defeat of Ketheric Thorm and the player’s departure from Moonrise Towers. The Emperor points out the need for friends in Baldur’s Gate, to which the player can agree or disregard the suggestion. Either way, the focus on allies has become more important.
