Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Let's talk about that final constitution check (Patch 7)

Patch 7 changes nothing to the good ending.

But, as I pointed out earlier, the Dark Urge evil ending - where the Netherbrain is also still alive (and the tadpoles in your head) - suffers no constitution check.

Only the generic evil ending (taking control) now must roll such an "anti-ceremorphosis" 25 check.

So, to be very clear, its not good ending vs evil ending, its just *one type of evil ending with the Netherbrain alive* that forces a check upon you.

For an old timer like me that played the hell out of both BG1 and BG2, and happens to be a 20 years + D&D gamemaster, that final constitution check feels awkward and rips the fun out of the game.

Simply put, Its not a consequence.

Its a softlock that shouldn't be.

EDIT - Case study :

1- I play custom evil Dark Urge, my brain its overloaded by tadpoles (24 tadpoles absorbed/partial illitthid) and the Netherbrain still lives... Guess what? No 25 constitution check is needed, I can enjoy the new devilish ending.

2- I play darkside evil Gale, my brain has absorbed only 3 tadpoles and the Netherbrain still lives... Now, the game tells me I must succeed a 25 constitution check, and if not successful, I am barred from seeing the new juicy evil-Gale ending.

I love Larian, but... well, I guess I made my point.
