Nobody warned me about Baldur's Gate 3's grotesque opening cutscene

Baldur's Gate 3 eye

If you're a bit of a squeamish person like me, it won't take much to make your stomach churn. I screamed in John Wick 3 when Keanu Reeves stabbed a knife into some bloke's eye. I screamed again in John Wick 4 when one of the characters chopped their finger off. Knock it off, John Wick! Body horror has never been my forte—hell, even the relatively tame entrails cape in Diablo 4's opening cutscene made me feel a little funny.

It's why I'm so damn mad I somehow managed to go three whole years with absolutely no knowledge of the opening cutscene for Baldur's Gate 3. Maybe you're like me and don't have time to keep up with every facet of videogaming, or perhaps you've been intentionally avoiding Larian's marketing so you can go into the game totally fresh and unaware of what awaits you. Either way, there's a chance you'll also be totally blindsided by what I was forced to witness without any prior warning.
