Baldur's Gate 3 Player Discovers Game Limitations in Unique Scenario

Attempt to Avoid Character's Death Explosion Reveals Unaccounted Player Choice

A Baldur’s Gate 3 player found that sacrificing a companion, Gale, during the game can lead to unexpected consequences.
Gale, a Wizard of Waterdeep, has a nuclear-like explosion in his chest that detonates if he dies and is not resurrected within a few days.
The player attempted to send Gale's corpse to a different realm to avoid the explosion, but the game did not account for this action.
Instead of avoiding the explosion, Gale's death still resulted in a game over, suggesting the game does not account for this specific player choice.
This discovery highlights the extensive range of player choices in Baldur's Gate 3, but also reveals the limits of the game's programming.
