THE FUSE

Larian Studios likes to pull back the curtain a little bit and show us what average (and not-so-average) players like to get up to in Baldur’s Gate 3. Years ago, when the developers first started sharing stats, they showed that the most popular create-a-character choices resulted in a guy who looked like the Fallout Vault Dweller. Now, the latest stats reveal something much more sinister: All of you are fucking murderers. Buried in a breakdown of the story NPCs who have died the most was the bullet point that Alfira, the happy-go-lucky tiefling bard you meet at the beginning of the game, was more likely to be murdered by a non-Dark Urge player than by one that chooses the Dark Urge background.
