Baldur’s Gate 3 Players Discover Easter Egg in BG3 EULA
Baldur’s Gate 3 is filled with Easter Eggs and tiny references to the greater Dungeons & Dragons 5E lore, which also extends to the game’s EULA, as fans have discovered a nod to the Warlock in the legal document. This makes sense, considering how Warlock’s are often bound by rules from their Patron, so they’re the perfect class to include in an EULA.
EULA stands for End User Licence Agreement, and it’s something a lot of games ask you to read and agree to before you can play them. Some companies have fun with the EULA because no one ever reads them, allowing them to bury cheeky references and in-jokes in the text, so that a few dedicated fans can track them down later on.

The three basic Warlock subclasses are The Archfey, The Fiend, and The Great Old, which match the creatures described in the EULA.
The Morninglord referenced in the EULA is the name given to Lathander, the god of dawn and one of the most powerful good deities
