Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 developer Larian has issued an official \u2018Looking to the Future\u2019 blog post that outlines a raft of changes coming to the game with the imminent Patch 2, including an update to the ending for everyone\u2019s favourite Tiefling Barbarian.<\/p>\n

In the blog post<\/a>, Larian said Patch 2 adds \u201cbetter closure\u201d to the story\u2019s final act in the form of a more fleshed-out ending for Karlach, something \u201cmany of you have been asking for\u201d.<\/p>\n

Karlach is one of the most-popular companions and romance options in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 (check out IGN\u2019s Karlach Companion Guide<\/a> for more). But some players expressed dissatisfaction with her ending.<\/p>\n

Karlach is slowly dying from an infernal engine, which is housed in her chest. At the end of the game, she can either return to the hellish realm of Avernus to prevent her from burning to a crisp, turn into a Mind Flayer, or give up the ghost entirely and die. In either case, Karlach is pretty hard done by.<\/p>\n

Patch 2 adds a new optional ending with Karlach, Larian said. \u201cIt\u2019s fiery, poignant, and gives her the ending she deserves\u201d.<\/p>\n

In an interview with IGN in which Larian boss Swen Vincke discussed the restoration of access to Minthara’s content<\/a>, he also teased this new Karlach epilogue, saying that if you see a cigar you’ll know that you’ve found the new content, and that it will “make a lot of people happy\u201d.<\/p>\n
