According to the YouTube channel Fextralife, which consulted the head writer of Larian Studios on the subject, Baldur’s Gate 3 will have over 17,000 endings when all conceivable variations are taken into account. The number may sound astounding, but it is important to keep in mind that we are not really talking about whole endings here, but rather about modifications, mostly minor ones, brought on by the players’ decisions during the adventure.
Baldur’s Gate 3 endings
With Baldur’s Gate 3, Larian Studios wanted to give players the most freedom possible in how they played while still making sure that their decisions were as fully reflected in the plot and its resolution as possible. This is why there are so many different options available. It’s unclear how the number of 17,000 variations came about, but given the size of the game, it’s probable that the main campaign will have a variety of narratives and subplots that allow for multiple ways for players to retell the narrative.
In any case, there won’t be much longer to wait to learn more as Baldur’s Gate 3’s ultimate release date is set for August 3, 2023, for PC and September 6, 2023, for PS5, with the Xbox Series X|S version likely to follow a few weeks later.
Between the 170 hours of film and the final 17,000, we are currently really interested in learning what the experience will be like. Who knows if someone will take the time to replay it repeatedly in an effort to see all the Baldur’s Gate 3 endings.
