    Everyone's malding over spoilers and not realizing this isn't an actual ending that's coded into the game, it's just a funny side effect of a spell that malfunctioned during the end boss.

      They could have clarified that in the headline

        But then they wouldn't get so many clicks and reactions.

        It think it was implied by “rarest” being in quotes.

      It’s literally described in the very first sentence:

      A Baldur’s Gate 3 player joked that their fiancée may have found the rarest possible ending for the game when Wild Magic turned everyone into dogs and cats for the final cutscenes.

    “this player finds rare ending of the game”

    describes ending

    People who read about the ending of the game: BRO YOU GAVE SPOILERS FOR THE ENDING, WHAT THE FUCK! surprised pikachu

    Spoiler tags for literal game endings would be nice even if they are in the titles

      There’s no “spoilers” as it’s a malfunctioned spell during the end scene, nothing more. That said, anyone clicking through to an article with “rarest ending” in the title deserves whatever kick in the head they get from reading about an ending scene… 🙄🤌🏼

      It’s not like it’s an ending that most people are going to stumble upon by accident.

        I mean, the person who wrote the thing literally did stumble on it by accident xD

        But I know what you meant to say. THIS ISN'T A SPOILER PEOPLE!

    Thanks for the fucking spoiler.

      Not really a spoiler. If you proc a wild magic surge on the last turn, and it polymorphs your party into cats and dogs, they don’t depolymorph in the end cutscenes. It’s not a real ending, just a funny bug

        Head canon and you won’t convince me otherwise

      Reads only title. Makes assumptions. Bitches about something they didn’t read.

      I think you want www.reddit.com or www.twitter.com

    I still need to play this but all this coverage is sort of spoiling all the mystery

    source
    • thepianistfroggollum@lemmynsfw.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      It really doesn’t, though. There are so many options that affect the story in very different ways, so pretty much no playthrough will be the same.

        Unless you've forcibly seen most of them and you can pick out what moments go where because x action, or you have this one singular shred of information that happens to be the integral piece to draw together an entire arc.

        Earlier this week, I was listening to music on YouTube and saw a thumbnail that told me exactly what was up with the tadpoles. Not even the title. I don't remember what the title was. It was written on the thumbnail.

        If I am to play this game. I cannot have access to the internet in any conceivable way. I had thought this problem only extended to forums and news sights, places that were fairly obvious and thus easily avoided, but it's the entire internet when you least expect it.

        I'm a third of the way into act 2 and the only teammates whose plot lines and/or multiple endings I don't know are Wyll and Lae'zel, and that's only because nobody likes them enough to be talking about them.

        I have tried to avoid this shit at every turn. It's still a great game. It's fantastic. It would have been in my top 3 if I could have played the damn thing on my own. I fucking love picking things to shreds more than anything else and there are so many pressing unknowns and conflicting motivations that I'd be having the time of my life. You don't understand. I could write a whole thesis on any one of them.

        But I know the answers already.

      Nothing is spoiled by this headline, it’s just a bug where your characters might not depolymorph after the last fight, and they’ll appear as animals in the ending cutscenes

    Am I missing something? Theres only text and a screenshot. Why is everyone arguing? You can’t even watch it.

  • DingoBilly@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    God I wish the endings were as clever as this bug.

    In reality the ending is pretty mediocre, and for some endings it’s literally just a few lines of dialogue and that’s it. Massive letdown.

      Well felt like classic TTRPG “And life continued to move without you” to me and I liked it

      I’m trying to remember an ending that wasn’t.

      The >!redeemed!< Dark Urge ending had me perplexed: >!Don’t have kids or they’ll probably murder for Bhaal, toodles!!<

    Don’t know if this counts as an ending proper rather than a funny and very rare unintended effect. I doubt the devs planned for it or even realized it could happen.
