The socket stares back at me, empty. I found my way to this part of Baldur's Gate 3 almost by accident, a combination of a fight gone wrong, an ingenious solution to a puzzle, and a couple of disarmed traps leading me to a legendary weapon that's the perfect fit for my cleric. After all that, I'm not going back empty-handed, but I've got no idea what fits in the socket. So, like any sensible D&D player, I try my luck. Figuring that there's no way the game is about to let me get away with this, I instruct my light-fingered rogue to try and yank the weapon free. In an instant, I'm sealed in a magical cage with sirens blaring and a doomsday device pointed squarely at my head.
