I wanted to make a separate post addressing the fourth wall dialog appeared after Patch 2 so they're doubling down... doesn't seem true in my case?

The launch day/1.0 release of BG3 (9,208 dialogue files) that I have access to also has the FourthWall dialog files - just checked. This is versus Patch 2 which has 9,237 dialogue files (+29 files compared to 1.0). The FourthWall file between 1.0 (extracted Aug 10) and Patch 2 (extracted Sept 3) are also identical:


Unless you've found* new audio that has popped up in Patch 2 about FourthWall, it seems Larian had planned and executed the 4th wall break dialog prior to launch, not as a response to Justice for Karlach or cigar ending.

Then again, I'm happy to look at whatever launch-day dialogs you have, but considering FourthWall existed Aug. 10th (note: this was when the file was extracted/datamined, which means it could have existed in the game prior to this date if the mining process was ran earlier) and way before Patch 2 I doubt this was reactionary. I am relying on an external source as I didn't datamine the game launch day... I actually didn't even have the game launch day (oops) hahaha

*Edit: better wording
