Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Story & Character Discussion [END SPOILS WARNING] Addressing Karlach (PLEASE PUT SPOILERS IN TAGS)

Yeah, apparently that guy is hinted at during the epilogue by Withers, so there's definitely something there

I remember him being hinted at during the epilouge but I didn't know that he was sitting in one of the rings in hell. It'd be real nice if they let us make a pit stop in avernus to go to that forge.

No clue if he's related to any of the hells planes, has this been mentioned anywhere?

Hey folks, thought I would ask this here. There was a report on the technical problems forum that Karlach’s first romance scene is no longer triggering? Pretty sure that this happened for me, too, on my honour run because I took plenty of long rests with medium/high approval for her and never got the scene. But I wasn’t keeping super good track of everything because I’m romancing Lae’zel on this run.

Has anybody here played since patch 6 and noticed that her Act 1 romance scene wasn’t triggering? Anybody want to test it?

My bad boys! Cyric is trapped in limbo. Not the hells i think i heard something about keyes to release them which one or a few could be in hells. Had to wiki that.

Yeah that is happening to me. I heard patch 6 might have moved it specifically to the tiefling party? But im more stuck on the owlbear cub bug. Little guy wont show up at the goblin camp. Ive sent bug reports but like...i legit cant continue 3 whole acts with out the little guy

Is the glitch you can't romance karlach or you can't recruit the little owl bear cub?

In my playthrough? Im not sure both? I hVnt gotten to the teifling party yet where some ppl are saying the karlach scene will trigger.
But i wont keep playing the playthrough cauae thf owlbear cub is bugged (wont show up at the goblin vamp after the mother bear encounter)

Anyone seen if the owl bear glitch is fixed? Just wanted to post here and see if anyone saw any news or rumors

Not for me, hasnt worked since patch 6, makes me feel sad as i havnt seen any of the new stuff really as I refuse to continue 2 and a half acts without the owlbear cub. Ive sent bug reports. Was told they are aware and addressing it. But only bug they fixed was the owlbear cub aggro? Or something?
Mine is specifically the cub not showing up at the goblin camp

Also Larian, give us a way to fix Karlach!, just to keep the thought alive lol

The avernus DLC hope just died, Swen said in the GDC( there is a IGN article about it) that there won't be any expansion or DLC for baldur gates 3 so that route to fix kalach is gone. Now I think the only way karlach gets a good ending is in a definitive edition unless by some miracle they change it in the base game(I don't think is going to happen but you never know).

#JusticeforKarlach

Sucks, but it is their choice. Here's to hopin' something is added in the possible definitive edition, then.

Kind of expected it but I wanted to keep some hope. Even hope died in the end, I guess.

Kinda bummed out by the news, especially when they dropped a small tease in the epilogues.

If they never had any plans to continue, the tease in the epilogue is kinda weird. And not just Karlach, but the other one too.

guys just speculation but based on swens recent speech and how the article is worded about wotc and publishers* im pretty sure this is on WOTC hasbro is looking to go internal for future dnd games to not share profits so they wont let larian use the ip again . that and all the ppl at WOTC who fought to get larian on bg3 have been let go. take all that as you will but i personally will not be supporting any more wotc stuff at this point they have been doing some horrendus crap this past year but this is the icing on the cake.

I do agree theres a chance they will pivot and still give us a fix in a patch...but i also agree its unlikely...screw hasbro man...

I think your right god fucking damn it man

Where did the information come from that they laid off employees? its sad

Still, we need to remember that there are contracts and those can't be cancelled easily, not without paying a contractual penalty or something. Or there have been some clauses that allowed to end the licensing of the IP if certain thresholds or numbers are not fulfilled at a specific point like ratings (which shouldn't be the case here), sold copies (also shouldn't be the case here) or w/e.
So either they had a clause that allowed Hasbro to revoke the licensing at any given time or at least after a certain time has passed after release or they paid for ending the contract or something else has come up that we all can't see. Personally, I think it's too easy just to point with your finger on one company and white knighting the other. We are not talking about some children playing together, this are companies with contracts.

While it would've been nice to have an official conclusion to Karlach's engine situation, I think the open-ended continuation of her adventure, is better suited to her character.

Plus all the unfinished business in Avernus helps paint a long road so any hasty conclusion probably wouldn't have ever felt just right.

Who knows with the future and definitive or modding.
