Baldur's Gate 3 Scrapped Feature Would Have Added Afterlife Exploration

A planned feature for Baldur's Gate 3 would have introduced a unique death mechanic involving the Fugue Plane, offering players a chance to navigate an afterlife realm.

• Baldur's Gate 3 director Swen Vincke revealed a scrapped feature where characters would explore the Fugue Plane after dying.
• The Fugue Plane, part of the Forgotten Realms lore, serves as a neutral afterlife zone where spirits are sorted by gods.
• The scrapped feature would have allowed players to engage in battles or challenges in the Fugue Plane while their party continued in the material world.
• The idea was ultimately not included in the game, with current death mechanics involving simple resurrection or permanent death in certain modes.
• Larian Studios, the game's developer, has moved away from this concept but continues to update the game with new features and patches.
