It hasn't been a Mass Effect 3-degree ending controversy, but Larian has gotten a bit of heat for Baldur's Gate 3's conclusion over the past couple weeks, especially regarding the fate of Karlach. I can't spoil what happens because I don't know what it is—I'm in Act 2 like a normal person!—but I do know that enough players were unhappy about their tiefling companion's endings to make petitions about it. Larian has decided to respond: In a blog post about what's coming in the next big Baldur's Gate 3 patch, the studio says it's adding "better closure to the story's final act in the form of a more fleshed-out ending for Karlach."
Specifically, Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 2 will include "a new optional ending with Karlach" which Larian says is "fiery, poignant, and gives her the ending she deserves."
