Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 7 Almost Included Another Ending, But It’s Better As Cut Content

The latest patch for is possibly Larian's largest for its cash cow, adding in a whole host of new endings for evil playthroughs and mod support. Now, console players can alter their game with custom content, just like players on PC, but what console players can't do is search through the files and code after the new patch has dropped. Curious players have gone delving into the code, looking through it to see what content is still in the files but can't be accessed by normal means.

Now that the avatar has control over the Netherbrain, they also have control over all the Mindflayers and their fellow infected party members. The divergence in this cut ending comes when the character decides what to do with this power.
