Baldur's Gate 3 Writer Regrets Wyll’s Underdeveloped Arc, Citing Cuts and Constraints

In a Reddit Q&A, senior writer Kevin VanOrd said production constraints left Wyll with a thinner storyline.

Overview

  • VanOrd told players he wished Wyll had received more content and a more fulfilling arc, acknowledging the character’s limited development.
  • He said a planned major sequence near Baldur’s Gate known as the Red War College was cut late in development.
  • Wyll’s narrative was split between the Mizora thread and the Ravengard thread, a structure VanOrd now says may have been a mistake.
  • VanOrd noted he was unexpectedly ill and away from the office during key periods, and that resource limits resulted in only a single Ansur dungeon boss, an idea he credited to Swen Vincke.
  • Players have renewed complaints about disparities after other companions saw post-release updates, with no new Wyll-specific plans reported.
