Baldur’s Gate 3 At the heart of this extraordinary narrative lies a profound mystery – mysterious abilities awakening within you, drawn from a mind flayer parasite that has taken root in your very brain. The choices before you are both enigmatic and fateful: resist, harness the darkness
within, and turn it against itself, or embrace the corruption and ascend to the pinnacle of evil.
