Baldur's Gate 3's Epilogue Heavily Hints At A Sequel

thegamer.com:

Baldur's Gate 3's new epilogue just dropped in the latest patch, finally giving the characters some much-needed closure. We'll go light on spoilers for individual character interactions since these will be largely personalised to how your playthrough went down.

He continues, making it clear that everyone's stories are far from over. "Sleep, rest, revel. But be ready, for thou mayest yet be needed. Until we meet again, I wish thee every possible fortune. Health, wealth, love, and above all, problems worth solving."

So, what the hell is he on about? For starters, it definitely seems like this won't be the last time we see these characters.

Can't get the epilogue to trigger on an old save? We got it to work by booting up a save file from just before the Netherbrain fight.

In practical terms that could mean we're either getting a story
