Larian Studios’ rightly acclaimed role-playing game (RPG) Baldur’s Gate 3 allows you to play in all sorts of ways, posing many genuinely tough moral dilemmas that go far, far beyond ‘press X to be a goodie and Y to be a baddie’ territory. This was clear as day when, during one particularly harrowing playthrough, I found myself standing in a blood-soaked grove surrounded by the corpses of well-meaning refugees. It wasn't long before I began to regret my life choices.
In the spirit of curiosity and exploring this moral landscape I found myself eager to see what would happen if I did pick one of the game’s more objectively evil choices. As you do, I decided to slaughter a group of Druids and the aforementioned refugees to gain the favor of the morally repugnant Cult of The Absolute, who are plotting to take over the fantasy world of Faerûn with an army of magical parasites.
