Summary
Baldur’s Gate 3’s latest patch has addeda wave of new ending cinematics, all focussed on letting you see the consequences of your evil actions. Now, if you choose to control the Netherbrain and become the Absolute, you can choose what you’ll use this power for - or in other words, how exactly you plan to torment your new subjects.
One of these endings is locked behind the partnership you may form with The Emperor. From launch, we’ve had the option to stick with him to the end of the game and convince him to rule the world alongside us. Now, we can see how that alliance pans out, and it’s great news for anyone who wanted a little bit more out of theirromp with the mind flayer.
New Baldur’s Gate 3 Ending Lets You Run Off Into The Sunset With The Emperor
As you can see in the new ending, The Emperor is the one calling the shots here. You now act as his general, killing his enemies -the Githyanki. You still get the option to turn against him in these final moments and try to claim the power for yourself, but he easily overpowers and kills you.
However, if you happily accept your new life, there’s an oddly sweet moment when the narrator says you were “made for each other”. The player and The Emperor then exchange a quick glance - The Emperor now appearing as the Dream Guardian we created - before the credits roll.
So, if you wereone of those many freaks that decided to sleep with The Emperorearlier in the game, you can now carry this “romance” to the very end and say that your character and the mind flayer lived happily ever after. Sure, he will kill you if you ever try to leave, but I don’t think anyone who’s interested in him is looking for a healthy relationship.
These new endings are available in Baldur’s Gate 3 now, as long as you’re playing on PC. If you’re on console,you’ll have to wait for the patch to drop sometime next month.
