Had of nasty fun working on these with Larian’s cinematics team - they’re going to knock your socks off. If you happen to to not be wearing socks, a pair will appear on your feet and then be knocked off
If you decided happily ever after wasn’t for you, there’s an assortment of evil ending cinematics new to Baldur’s Gate 3, arriving with Patch 7.
Here’s another sneak peek! Beware, some spoilers ahead!

True, neither LOTR or GOT had the word budget for ‘it’s fisting time’
Baldur’s Gate 3 contains triple the word count of The Lord of the Rings books with a total cutscene runtime that is twice as long as HBO’s Game of Thrones series, said Larian Studios founder Swen Vincke.

I always found it very interesting that you get to see the beds of Ketheric, Orin, and Gortash, and what it suggests about each. Gortash in particular has a relatively modest affair squeezed in next to his ‘office’, like a true workaholic.

It was nothing terribly dramatic in and of itself, at least in the immediate term - his line petered out through misfortune and disease. He was the youngest son of an ancient line that faded away, and he was left alone at a comparatively young age, turned over to the druids.

For six years, I’ve been graced with Rachel’s strange breathing noises (plus her wonderful company and astonishing writing talent) right next to me at Larian, but no more.
Her debut novel comes out soon, so have a peek, and if able, consider supporting Shovel’s college fund.
After six years, I'm leaving Larian Studios 😭 It was a really hard decision, but I'm working on several books right now and balancing that with work was making my tiny goblin brain explode. My last day involved my studio head gifting me a paddling pool and dinosaur... 1/?
