Baldur's Gate 3's developers at Larian Studios have made a whole load of changes to the RPG since its release in response to fan feedback, and Karlach's improved, final ending was no exception, publishing director Michael Douse clarifies.
Karlach actor Samantha Béart recently spoke to PC Gamer in an interview, in which they mentioned that "fans had no influence" on them returning for the improved ending, which was added in a post-launch patch. They mentioned that Baldur's Gate 3 was initially set to clash with the release of Bethesda's space-faring RPG Starfield, before the D&D romp ended up being brought forward by a month, and noted that "I don't think we expected people to rush to the end as quickly as they did." Ultimately, they said, the improved ending was "very much planned."
