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

I don't even know what I fear more. Them doubling down on the bad endings and her not showing up, probably. At least with them pulling the whole "Oh I found a cure" she's still alive and was successful. But it would feel... weirdly empty, and likely means there is no way they add anything to her current questline.

It's just a lose-lose situation.

I hope you're wrong I really do. But I haven't heard about this and it just makes me pissed to think about. Hopefully if they do something like that it'll be a setup like larian saying we're working on it just give us some time.



There's nothing good about that ending at the absolute best its a death sentence for those going. Worse case karlach Is a slave soldier till the day she dies.

I haven't heard anything about withers death party but I hope it's just a lie tbh. I was all hyped for the community update and new patch I'm just stressed lol

Pretty much. It'll feel empty either way because If it's what I think it is, we will witness some background story and I loathe those. I'm really curious how they'll pull this off.
Because knowing Karlach and Tav are in hell, the phrase 'who's going to be your plus one' in a.. celebratory manner is kind of a weird thing to say. Lol.

They posted it on their own twitter.

I mean they did mention in the past there was supposed to be some epilogue with a tavern meet up, and that is seems to be it.

maybe its nothing more than some little Christmas type of thing, i mean the post doesnt exactly say anything really. The phrase "fun is mandatory" has some real "The beatings will continue until moral improves" vibes which is really concerning but it might be like a lets have a party before we fight the bbeg or something. might be too hopeful

And im more than happy about it, for past 130 pages all of you were saying was "trust larian" "be patient" and where did that bring you? You have no idea how happy I am now

Maybe you should have done something, instead of screaming into the void on almost empty forum that's not even working for most of the time

done what? tweet at larian? did that. message larian? did that. email larian support? did that. email bg3 support? did that. tweet at the games director? did that. go onto their own forums and talk about it? well here we are. still trying to figure out why youre here tho.
Anyway until it comes out ill just wait and see.

Y'all this is the first time I managed to load the forum in literal two days, so apologies if I'm missing anyone's replies

But holy hell I'm both excited and anxious about this epilogues announcement. I guess we kinda know how it goes if Karlach is dead (I dropped the link to parsed dialogue like a page ago I think), but I still have no idea what Avernus ending would be like. 6 months timeskip I think this is supposed to be, if that hasn't changed.

I'll be honest with you, unpopular opinion, but if they give us a "You found a fix in Avernus behind the scenes" I'll happily take that and run. I don't think my heart will be able to handle Tav and Karlach not showing up at all or having to immediately leave again.

That being said, I think a lot of people here swore up and down not to lose hope for a proper quest and such till the Definitive Edition or a definitive absence of such, so don't bet everything on the epilogue if you're not down to take the easy way out like that. This reunion was always going to be implemented before any major story changes (if any are to happen at all), so of course it's going to be concerning the current state of the quest only. It's weird to expect anything else or to get upset about the lack of something that was never going to be here at patch 5, I think.

So let's not be doomposting in advance (and keep the expectations low), who knows what will happen. Either way I'm excited for the epilogues and I bloody hope my old playthrough saves will launch 'cause my current one is still in the middle of Act 3 and I NEED TO KNOW.

I honestly will be fine with my heart not being broken more than it already is :') Here's hoping!

Jesus christ, look who made a new account.

My guy, I promise I will make sure to be the happiest I can with whatever we get just to deny you the satisfaction, holy hell.

Ask any mass effect veteran how to get the job done. You should have struck the iron while it was hot. Now enjoy you holidays. Just don't forget a sunscreen I heard it's really hot in the avernus

If few lines said by corpse is what will make you happy im not even sorry for you. Actually no, im just not sorry for you. Period

Ill take the you find a fix in avernus off screen and make it out alive, id like to be there and do it myself but ill take what i can get at this point. i just hope the party doesnt have a little memorial for karlach and tav somewhere. if they do the whole you get the fix in avernus id still hope they add it in a DE or some small DLC or something. yea the forums were down like all of yesterday for me too.

Honestly, just ignore Lonewalker. They're not adding anything besides wanting to be annoying. I don't know what crawled up their ass and died, and quite frankly, I don't care.


Back to topic:

Thank you, tarraxahum. You said what I needed to her, I think. It's not over yet, and we'll see the coming days how it pans out.
Still scared about that patch, but your perspective does help.

Very true it is a nice optimistic take on the news that is much needed.

Hey don't be mad at me. Just trust larian and be patient right?

If nothing else that would definitely be morbidly hilarious on the "Larian are sorta trolls" front! But nah, that's not gonna happen. Worst case here is the "welp, back to hell we go" situation, I think. Could always be proved wrong though, that's for sure!

I will say, the easy "We fixed it in Avernus" thing could kind of undermine the choice of NOT going there (like, you see, if you were a little more stubborn you could'a save her!), which is why I am resigning myself to that PROBABLY NOT being the case. While hoping to be surprised, mind you.

All in all though I'm just curious to see what happens. Predictions be damned. Withers, get the gang back together.

All I'm gonna do is just wait and see, doubt they'll add something 'sad' when they're implying something positive in this post (then again i've been disappointed before with the Avernus 'special cutscene') but yeah I'll put the doomposting aside for now.

If it's something positive, i'll take it. It's just the implementation that bums me out and I certainly don't expect some big changes about Karlach so soon, if they plan anything that is - it would take a lot more time and I'm aware of that.

I would not say that the extended ending was anything to cheer at, so "getting the job done" is quite a stretch.

I was there. I held the line. We lost.
