remains a game in which people can find lots of hidden Easter eggs and dialogue depending on the path that they choose. One player took a path that led to an interesting reveal upon meeting the Emperor, and it recharacterizes the mind flayer in a way few would expect.
The reveal in question comes from Reddit user remarah1447, who posted a video from the beginning of Act Three. When players learn the true identity of the Dream Guardian, a mind flayer known as the Emperor, they ask for proof that the creature is who they say they are.
In remarah1447's post, the Emperor curiously starts by recounting the player's romance with Minthara, rather than recollecting any of their many other exploits. This results in a bluntly hilarious scene, with the Emeror candidly saying, "" The person recording the video is immediately astonished and starts to laugh.
Many comments on the Reddit post share similar sentiments about how strange the Emperor's choice of memory is. One of the many choices faced in Baldur's Gate 3 involves freeing Orpheus or siding with the Emperor in Act 3, and then living with the consequences.
The Redditor's reaction in the video says it all, asthat’s not the first thing one would think the Emperor would say to convince the protagonist to aid them.
