Video summary
The video explores the myriad of endings available in Baldur's Gate 3, focusing on a specific and morally complex choice involving the tadpole parasite within the protagonist's mind. The central conflict arises when the player is presented with an option to command their own brain to destroy all tadpoles and then destroy itself, effectively ending the Absolute threat but at the cost of one's own consciousness and identity. This "evil" choice represents a form of self-sacrifice where the hero eliminates the source of corruption within them, resulting in a state of silence and freedom from the parasite's influence, though it leaves the protagonist questioning their existence and purpose once the internal struggle is resolved.
Following this pivotal moment, the narrative shifts to the broader consequences for the world of Baldur's Gate and its inhabitants. The video details how different dialogue choices lead to various outcomes for key companions like Lazelle, Jhira, Menthara, and Shadow Heart, ranging from rebuilding the city together to sending them off on their own destinies. The transcript highlights a particularly humorous yet poignant segment where the player interacts with letters received from friends and allies across the Sword Coast, revealing that while the Absolute is defeated, the scars of the war remain, and the community must decide whether to rebuild the city or let it stand as a monument to what was lost.
The video also touches upon alternative, more chaotic endings where the protagonist chooses to become an absolute ruler or a mind flayer, showcasing the game's flexibility in allowing players to embrace power, fear, or madness. These scenarios often involve surreal elements like turning the city into a PvP server or becoming a "seafood colony," illustrating the absurdity that can occur when the player pushes the narrative toward extreme conclusions. Ultimately, the video concludes by emphasizing that despite the many paths one can take—whether ruling through love and contentment or leaving the world to chaos—the true victory lies in the bonds formed with companions and the hope for a future free from the tyranny of the Absolute.

Yeah, that is true.
>> Thanks. Thanks, Salvation.
>> No, Boo. This moment is for savoring.
There will be temples to snack on later.
Buu did not doubt us for a moment. Not
during any of our many failures.
The parasite. It's withered. Dead along
with the netherbrain.
I am cleansed. I will never be a filthy
gay.
Only my defense intended. Of course,
did the unthinkable. And I'm grateful
for it.
>> Even when my time in the prison
stretched out like eternity, escape
seemed impossible,
I never lost hope.
I knew that my destiny was to liberate
my people, to return to them triumphant.
I was wrong. It seems I can only fulfill
one part of my destiny. My people will
be liberated, but I cannot return to
them. Not like this.
You helped me destroy that abomination.
Thou helped me destroy myself.
You must
>> wait what?
But first, Lazelle, I need your promise.
Carry my hope. Carry my burden.
Call my dragons, Culos and Cuos, and
rides to the Astral Sea. Destroy
Blackith.
Release our people.
Be our future and our legacy.
>> Wait a second. This is your choice,
Lazelle, not mine. I trust you. Or I
pass the persuasion check. We'll do
both. We'll do both. I mean, here's the
thing. I also could fail this persuasion
check and see what happens. Let's see
what happens when you fail the
persuasion check.
>> I have already chosen a way. The way of
Orpheus.
Blackth will fall and I will plant a
seed. From that seedani
freedom will blossom. Your will is
strong. Rastil, your name will be etched
in our slates. You will be called Mulir.
Liberator.
>> Enough talk. Give me my freedom. Freedom
from this form.
>> You're a mind flare. But you're still
you, aren't you?
Yes,
but for how long? My mind screams.
It will never stop until it has slipped
away from me entirely.
I will not be gay.
I did what I did to save my people. The
rest is up to them.
Someone else must rise within the ranks
to lead the revolution against Vlack.
Give me my freedom from this form.
>> Release my soul to the astral seas while
I still have one to call my own.
>> You may not be able to return your evil
war overviews, but you deserve to live
to see their future.
Dude, there's so many there's so many
options. Options options.
>> You are right.
I may not be the one to lead my people,
but I can still bear witness to their
glory. I shall find a place for myself
in a corner of these realms. For even in
darkness,
the stars of Tunarath will shine upon
me.
>> That was an easy convincing.
>> You are a worthy ally.
The Githani will find they have a noble
prince in Orpheis
if they do not slaughter him on site. At
least
>> kill us.
I can never forget you. Your name will
be etched in our slates.
You will be called Mir.
>> What the You said. Wait, you said I was
going to be
>> You said that to me earlier. How come?
Hello. You just said that to everybody.
I thought she was telling the dragon.
See how the dragons flee you, boo. Now
they know you stand as this plain's
protector.
>> With the githoni gone, there's nothing
left but the silence of the city,
smoldering,
waiting to be rebuilt.
What shall we do with our liberty?
>> Oh my gosh, there's so many options. I
think it's time we part ways. Let's get
out of this godforsaken city. We should
stay in the city, help rebuild it. I
think a celebration is in order.
>> There is much to do.
>> Party time,
>> but a drink might be nice.
A seat would be better. A lot of people
died so we could get to this moment.
Let's go find somewhere to offer them a
toast.
>> I don't know why. In my head, I imagined
Fly Like a G-Sh.
I was like, "What is the stupidest song
that could possibly start playing right
now?
>> It's over and it's all because of you.
>> You were destined to become its rule.
Thanks to you, there will be no illid
empire, no death gods tyranny.
>> You have earned your place amongst the
legends of the sword coast.
>> It's the statue of Baldderon.
>> You are the savior of Boulder's Gate.
No, I did not kill Scratch. Scratch
died.
>> Straight through the night. Dreamless,
thoughtless,
and almost entirely free. For the first
time, you feel alone,
calm,
you breathe. Bal may have been your
beginning, but he will not be your end.
Of all those you killed in your father's
name, one lingers in your mind even now.
Alira, the bard of the Emerald Grove.
Her death weighs upon you still.
A burden you will carry for the rest of
your days.
But fortunately, you will not have to
carry it alone.
Were
you
>> I was afraid for the briefest moment
when I walked this morning.
>> What?
>> Didn't know where I was and I thought
perhaps it had all been a
>> Hello.
>> stopping the absolute saving my parents.
>> Where did you get those clothes? Or lack
of.
>> Then I realized I was in your arms.
We did it.
>> Everything's perfect. Almost. Anyway,
almost. I can give it another try if you
like.
>> I didn't mean it like that. After
everything that happened
with my parents,
I didn't think I was owed any happiness.
I did things.
Things that fill me with shame now.
There's at least one person who doesn't
want me happy.
Sh.
I felt the wound last night while you
were sleeping.
Like some sadistic child de-winging a
fly.
She can try to twist the knife all she
likes. I know I can survive her worst.
Nothing she does can sour the fact that
I have my family again.
>> You finally finished the journey your
parents set you on. You guys want this
one. I feel like three.
>> You're right. I can always rely on you
to say the right thing. It's not an
exciting life that I lead, but I'd like
you to be a part of it. I doubt I'd have
anything at all if it wasn't for you.
What did you have in mind?
>> I'm hoping to find some place I can
settle down and stay close to my
parents.
>> Do we really like do taxes?
>> Somewhere quiet where they can find
peace and gaze at the night sky. If that
sounds at all appealing, then I'll keep
a spot for you. It'll be just like old
times.
Wait, I can't say no. I was going to say
no.
>> Chad, stop looking.
>> Oh my gosh, it was a dream.
>> The world waits for A NEW DAWN,
and we are here to greet it. NOT AS
CONQUERORS.
THERE'S NO WAY. There's no way
I'm dying. It's so funny.
Oh, it's so funny.
I may Okay, I downloaded a mod to set
them all as like 100 reputation and have
see if they would like fight or anything
with one another, but like nothing
happened. So, I just like forgot about
it. I didn't like I didn't
So, it's got to be the mod.
Anyway, uh we can still conquer using
our own strength for us, not for ball.
Yes, I would like that.
>> Oh my gosh, this is so funny.
>> No more gods or monsters. No devils or
demons to manipulate our fate.
>> Dude, this is so funny.
>> We reclaimed our freedom though
everything was against us.
What would you do with it?
>> So funny.
Good ending. Paulen. Okay, dude. That's
so No,
>> I would have preferred to claim the
whole world when we had the chance.
>> I hope we get m dude. That'd be so
funny. We get mince. That'd be so funny.
>> We can put the Gondians back to work.
Rebuild the Steel Watch and march to
Water Deep. With an unstoppable army at
our back and a song of conquest on our
lips,

Battlefield and Boulders Gate will be

>> My name belongs to my mother. So our
house will have a new name, your name.
And the world will learn to fear it. But
we can look to the future tomorrow or
the day after. Today, let us think only
of ourselves in this moment.
We have won a lifetime. television.
I can't say no. Wait, what the heck?
Chat, stop looking.
Stop holding hands.
Is it going to be anyone else? Jihira,
Minsk, Lazelle,
>> and Shadow Heart found your peace.
Lazelle disapproves
with a pack of Lazel

>> How come they didn't show Lazelle the
silver moon after

discarded clothes.
>> Wait, wait, wait.
Did it just say Shadow Heart? Born
Shadow Heart found your peace, an
invitation to a gathering of the friends
and allies who stood by your side in the
fight against the absolute.
You waste no time in packing and set off
on the long road back to where all of
your adventures together began.
Wait, why is Le's hell back?
Thou w called here some from above.
>> For with thine bond,
together thou hast kept the wheel of
faith spinning when it threatened to
hurt.
>> Though thou were drawn far apart in the
months after the collapse of the
absolute, tonight fate renews thy bond
once more. Thou should take care to
preserve. It is a great weapon
wielded in the hazard of good.
Go know one another once more.
>> Wait, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold
on. Okay, so just to keep everything on
track, dude, there's so many forks,
dude. There's so many different ways to
end this game. It's crazy. Like, like,
okay, hold on. Let's keep Lazelle. Okay,
we're going to try and keep Lazelle.
There we go. Okay, this is it. This is
it. Nice. Okay.
>> Mother Gith battled for liberty, but it
was only here with you that I learned
what it meant to be free. Yes, I will
stay.
My destiny is for neither Vlac nor
Orpheus to decree. It is mine.
Then my destiny is undone.
Until someone can take up my cause, the
Gith Yankee will remain chained. I found
freedom and then lost myself to this
horror for nothing.
All that remains is to die.
Davim crashed.
>> As noble in death as he was in life, his
sacrifice will not be forgotten.
Yeah. Wait, what about Voss?
The Gith Yankee leave at last.
I feared they would make this world
their own.
>> With the Gith Yankee gone, there's
nothing left but the silence of the
city,
smoldering,
waiting to be rebuilt.
So,
what comes next?
>> We should stay in the city to help
rebuild it.
>> Why bother?
Let Boulders Gate wear its scars proudly
until the next crisis wipes it from the
world entirely. So many have fallen on
both sides of this conflict. Once I
would have died proudly in defense of
the Netherbrain, thinking it a god. It
is a sobering thought, and I intend to
chase it away with whatever filth passes
for wine in these parts.
It's all because of you.
>> Okay, so we already saw this
>> the world.
This
>> is so so funny. So now we're back here.
Okay, I I just want to see that lazel
scene. Okay,
>> good.
>> I talk to people.
>> Well, now
you can make yourself presentable when
you have a mind, too.
>> I missed you, too.
>> Oh, how nice to be understood again.
I have spent the past months bickering
with builders and bankers, all to
restore the city exactly as it was.
>> Same.
>> Wait, load the other one. Bur speakers.
Same wooden buildings ready to get burnt
by next year's dragon. Same sistns
overflowing. Huh?
>> Wait, why should I load the other one?
Cuz don't I want Lazelle to stay? The
picnic was actually added a good long
while after the launch because people
wanted a better epilog. Oh, really? Oh,
so Oh, so Lazelle shows up. Oh, okay. I
I didn't even know Lazelle was going to
show up.
>> Valorian simply
get on with it.

>> Oh, if she goes with the gifts she asks
for protects here. Okay.
>> Perhaps all three, but nothing I will
sniff at any longer. Harpers have come
from half the world over to land aid.
Farmers, masons, healers. My own son
George has been wounded to their ranks
already. He plants crop cycles in Worms
Crossing. Not so for my daughter. Ryan's

You understand? To organize the
craftsman.
Though she spends more time locking up
comrades for pocketing eight vans. They
might learn a thing or two if they don't
expel her again.
>> You must be proud.
>> Suppose I am. I tried to steer them
clear of my life's work. But they have
chosen it for themselves.
There is still much to do. People to
house, the harbor network to rebuild. I
may have little love for this city, but
so long as my family chooses to serve
it, I can do no less. Uh, but I see the
flesh in your cheeks when I speak of
family. Perhaps you mean to start one of
your own.
I don't want to watch over a blood match
where the jewelers call me auntie.
Just be careful, Bspbone.
>> Auntie? No way. You hardly ever write
back to your own children. They'll just
call you Jihira.
All right, bald child. It is true you
are no longer what you were. You have
done well for yourself. For all your
travels, I hope you have arrived where
you want to be, home.
Whatever that means to you.
>> Shadowart Mandor is my home.
No matter how far away, I think it will
always be first. Where were we? This
campsite is my home. Even when I'm far
away.
>> A sentiment. I must inspect the
refreshments. You'll never know. Some
nerd the well might have tampered with
the wine.
>> Who would do that here? We're the We're
the only ones here. Wait, what happened
to all my gear? Oh, I stole my weapon.
Wait, I I can attack people.
>> Fascinating.
Then take long with thy comrades shared
food, fire, and friendship. But even
such adamant
prevent thee from ruining my party.
>> Rare dialogue.
Oh,
suddenly I am most tired.
Good day.
Rare ending. Where did he send me to?
What if it deleted your save? Wonder if
the gods are watching me.
>> Ah, it's the star of the show. Our
humble protagonist who forsook Bal to
save the city. Our skeletal friend will
be very pleased to see I found my way
here despite my invitation getting lost
in the post.
>> Uh you again. It's wonderful evil. How
have you been?
>> Busy as ever. Better that than the
reverse, wouldn't you say? Every major
publishing house on the Sword Coast has
been vying for my upcoming book on the
subject of our adventures together. I've
gotten quite good at replicating your
signature, so you needn't even bother
with the release form. You might help me
with the title though. I'm considering
the hero and me.
You think
>> you could capitalize on history
repeating itself? How about the ball
spawn too?
>> Come now. You don't want to be seen as a
mere sequel. Perhaps once the manuscript
is finished, you'd even be willing to
write a forward. Or better yet, I'll
write a draft and you can just sign your
name. Better still, I'll sign it for
you.
>> Ah, your success really has been
wonderful for my reputation. But you
mustn't let me hog your attention all
night, my friend. You've many friends to
chat to.
Shut up. Chest of grateful words. Letter

Hero of Balders's Gate, vanquisher of
the absolute. The city is forever in
your debt. It's not temples and ins and
homes that I speak of, but hearts.
Balders can never be the city it was
before it suffer the absolute attach and
that is as it should be. The survivors
have borne witness to their homes near
destruction. They've come to regret
turning a blind eye to the cruelty gore
attached disguised as safety and
security. The flaming fist will learn to
be true servants of the people and I
will devote myself to ridding the gate
of the shameful fears that allowed evil
to enter our homes and sit at our
tables. Letter from Araj my friend. No,
my darling. Greetings from Menzo
Borenzan where the blood you so kindly
traded me is ready to play its part in
resurrecting the glorious house of
Bladra. Araj Blantra. I don't remember.
Who's this? Who is this? Oh yeah, she
made me have unstable blood.
I doubted you for so long. Perhaps you
knew that already. In spite of my best
attempts, you proved yourself time and
time again at walkin's rest and moonrise
towers and warm rock. And still I
doubted the nether brain's defeat should
have proven your courage. Yet I was more
doubtful than ever. This was a ruse, a
dream, a trick will be whole again. I
might have doubted you. Wait. And then
one e from the elf song. I heard it
singing a rockus salude tuneless drunken
refrain. I've never heard anything more
terrible, more beautiful, I raised my
voice and joined the chorus. That was
the moment all my doubts melted away and
were replaced with something more
valuable. Hope with profound admiration.
Floric Barkcus. Wait, Barkcus didn't
die. Yeah, that's right. Withers gave me
this address and said I could consider
writing. Well, I considered it. Return
address included. Best Barkcus route.
Leather from Noctterm. Dear Shadow
Heart, wait, what? I hope that you are
happy and well. I must keep this short
as I surrounded by Shar's followers. I
know it must seem strange for me to
dwell on such heretical thoughts. Yet I
cannot help myself. Perhaps one day I
shall find some measure of the bravery
that you did. Walk away from this life.
Until then I shall keep safe and home
memories of you is my one ember of light
amid an ocean of darkness. Until we find
each other again, yours always Nocturn.
Nocturn was the the girl that they were
friends with.
Investigator Valyria. This is the
elephant. I'm writing your request to
help my muscian
basher half a year ago. Regrettably,
I've had to take credit for dispelling
the ball co. Wait. I've had to take
credit for dispelling the ball cult in
your absence. You understand? And I'm
working on routing the remaining ballist
from our fair city and this has made me
a target. A false document bring my name
into illreute has been made public. An
alleged unpaid bar tab at the elf song.
If you happen to be passing through with
a bindle of coin perhaps you can
persuade mention my obvious innocence.
Much applies. This guy wants all of the
credit with none of the heat. Letter
from hope. House of hope. I had a dream
last night. Not that there are any
nights here or any days. It was a dream
about you, all of you. You were here
with me and I had served bread and jam
and oat crackers and cheese and enough
tea to quench a desert. You nibbled and
sipped and smiled and laughed and you
asked if I was happy. Nobody had asked
that for so long and I don't know if
anyone has ever asked that at all. I
didn't have the worst answer. So
instead, I led you through my house and
showed you all the souls that are here
with me. They were Raphael's ones, but
now they only belong to themselves. The
archive is an art gallery. The budgeois
is a grand kitchen. And the dungeon is a
refuge for any wounded soul or creature
that finds its way to us. Am I happy? I
don't know. But I'm hope and I persist
because of you. A letter from Maya.
Thought I'd reach out first for once.
Mayorina. Who's Maya? Oh, yeah. The
zombie girl. Yeah, the Yeah, the with
the hag and zombie husband. Uh, with
Ethel gone, myself and other hagers
created our own publishing house. We
only printed a few pamphlets so far, but
I'm halfway through my first book, Me,
an Author. It's like something out of a
dream. I finally had my baby. I named
him Connor after his dad. Thank you for
saving a scared young girl. I thought
she'd be a terrible mother. I couldn't
have been more wrong. Next time we meet,
pints her on me. Wait, she alcoholic.
Uh, Nine Fingers, I'm not much for
leaving my city, but it is a glaming
girl's heart to be asked to the ball.
So, I'll thank you for that much. Uh, in
my place, except a few casts of a fine
vintage that managed to roll their way
down from the upper city in all the
commotion. The rebuilding has given me
uh given rise to many such happy
opportunities worth discussing over a
more civilized drink in my guild hall.
Harpst stamped letter. The last one. I
hope this finds you wherever you are.
Want to thank you. I ask a favor. I'm
made to be a watcher. I'm to be made a
watcher. The high harper put me forward
to the Harper Council for service to the
city. I'm not sure what that means. But
I know that if it wasn't for you, I'd be
back mcking out my mother's yard and I'm
permitted to bring one guest to the
ceremony who will name me watcher before
the council. You spoke for once. You
spoke for me once before and I
understand you're probably busy, but I'd
be honored if you do it again.
Who is this guy? Who's this guy? I don't
know. I don't even know who this is, do
I?
>> Oh, hello. Let me guess. You've got some
suggestions about the music choice.
>> You seem glum. I thought bars were meant
to be full of pep and joy.
>> I find it hard to summon up the
trademark pep these days. You have no
idea who I am, do you?
I thought Withers might have set the
stage a little.
>> Go on then. What's your name?
>> Mil.
Though if the lack of song prayers is
anything to go by, that name carries
less weight than it used to.
>> Musical prayers were once offered to
Menel, Lord of Song, a minor deity whose
worship faded after offending the
trickster god Sir.
>> I'm washed up, I'm afraid.
>> I disagree. It's an honor to be
serenated by Mal Lord of Song. Oh, they
made him they made him look like the
actual composer for Boulders Gate 3.
That's cool. You You know,
>> you're bloody right. It is an honor.
Finally, the scribe picks an adventurer
of substance, of culture. What can I do
you for?
>> I'd like you to change the song.
>> Your wish is mine, etc. What song do you
want? Do
>> you have any new composition? Something
that's never been heard before.
>> Fantastic idea.
It'll suit the whole affair perfectly.
plays freeird.
>> Happy horse son.
>> Breathe deep poo. The smell of hero
sings from every stone in this place.
Ah, to meet again where your journey
began, my friend. An honor for Minsk and
his hamster both.
Oh, and for Happy also.
Yes. Um, honored, of course.
>> Who is happy? Horson, it's great to see
you, Minsk, Buu, and Happy.
>> See how your very presence snatches the
breath from his chest. And it is no
wonder. It is just this day that Happy
learned of your legend while we gazed
down upon the very city you saved.
He dangled me from the high hall upside
down for two hours.
>> The guild should not go creeping in high
places if they do not have the stomach
for them. H it is well for happy the
strange portal appeared when it did.
Minsk's arm was growing aome.
>> You're still chasing after the gill. I
thought you made a piece with them.
So I have though it is a piece made more
from blade and boots than it is any
sense of brotherhood. Nine fingers
forbade any looting of the Ilithid's
fleshy vessels. And so Minsk guards what
remains of the battle site even from
her. But where Minsk might once have
thrown any sneaking scoundrels from the
tower top, now I tell them of you. How
you ruled the wickedness within. How
they might do the same.
>> Oh, it's like how you resisted the urge.
>> I'll rule it. I'll be better.
>> Oh, of course. It is still for Buu to
decide if they live or die.
>> Oh. Oh, God.
>> But enough my friend. I cannot tell your
tale if I do not know the whole of it.
Minsk and the Pu would know where you
have been, what you have done.
>> Who cares? Give me a hug.
>> Embrace me, my friend.
>> And should your Philly squirming, know
that it is only Boo. Or perhaps the
buffet has gone bad.
Why do they hug like that? That's not
like a manly hug.
What the [ __ ]
Why the fight? Wait, that wasn't like a
manly hug. That was like a hamster.
>> That was like an embrace.
>> Wherever you go, Boo goes to
>> I'm missing all you guys.
>> No, my friend. Do not begin this. It is
too early in the evening for tears and
passing Boo around for the blowing of
noses.
>> He blows nose on Boo.
>> First, I must educate this sneak thief
on the company he keeps. Lazelle of
Greskiller, true child of Gith and true
friend to Buu. Though she wilt and say
it is not so.
Shadow Heart. Two gods tugged at her
soul, but she managed to keep it all for
herself in the end. Wait, Boo, did she
do something with her hair?
And Mthara,
yes, she's here also
repenting of her wicked ways and
performing charitable acts, no doubt.
And finally, Jahira.
If this is a name you do not already
know, then not even Buu can save you.
Study them well, sneak thief, for the
best among them will be a guide for your
guild. Heroes who put this city before
themselves, who never fought or in their
duty, and more than this, who never
arrived to a party without even a gift
for the host.
>> But who?
>> Go, my friend. Be among our friends.
There is much work yet to be done before
this one is fit to join them.
Yeah, I was about to say Minsk wasn't in
the party before Shadow Heart changed
her hair. So, why did he say that? Okay,
now we talk to Menthara.
>> Yes, my love. Are you done talking to
your friends? Can we leave?
>> They're your friends, too.
>> I think not. They may respect me or fear
me, but I do not think they like me.
>> Of course they. You're the life of the
party.
What makes me so? My quickness, my cold
heart, my cutting insights.
In truth, I have never enjoyed parties.
Although they do present the perfect
opportunity for a poisoning.
>> Please don't poison our friends.
Manthora,
>> taste my lips. They are already laced
with toxins. None shall be spared
tonight, not even you.
>> Did you guys hear Boo?
Did you guys just hear Boo? Why was Boo
a hamster noises while she was talking?
Wait, what happens? Is she going to kill
me
now? Go, mingle, carouse, indulge.
Tomorrow we return to Boulders's Gate,
and our campaign to control the city's
undesirabs
continues.
We will need all of our strength.
>> Keep some of your strength for tonight.
My body is yours.
>> I always have strength enough for you.
>> Okay, that's great.
Just kidding.
>> Didn't expect to be nervous.
>> Seeing everyone here like this,
it's strange, isn't it?
>> Feel like I must have dreamed the last
few months.
Now I'm waking up back in camp with my
hair smelling like wood smoke and fallen
leaves stuck to my backside.
>> I wonder how that happened.
Your backside is fine. Trust me, I've
been checking regularly.
>> Oh, I've noticed ever since I first
slipped into my camp garden, I should
think.
I hope we won't seem terribly boring to
everyone when they ask what we've been
doing this past while.
>> Dude, this is so funny.
>> The countryside.
>> I may have been expecting something
more.
Well, more
>> this guy. Dude, this guy's double
dipping, dude. He's double dipping. If
in doubt, I can always lie. We've been
slaying dragons, making
>> That sounds fun. Why haven't we been
doing that? Perhaps I'll shoe the cats
out of our room and scatter copper
pieces over the bed some evening and we
can play make believe.
>> Stupid.
>> It's fine. Already passed.
Sean must have sensed I was enjoying
myself.
>> Kiss it better.
You'll seize any opportunity, won't you?
>> This is so cringe.
>> But I suppose I've been giving you
plenty of encouragement.
>> Immediately,
that's so funny, dude.
Why? I feel better already.
S.
Are you trying to make me sleepy?
You know how easily I get lost in your
arms.
Have fun. Just don't don't wear yourself
out too quickly. I'm anticipating a long
night ahead of us.
>> And away I go.
>> That's fun. Really out here just trying
to get every gooner scene. Just can't
prove it yet.
Wait, nobody's stopping him.
>> A most welcome sight.
>> Tuck the legs up.
>> Old friend. For two months, I trained
the knights of the comet. But to see
your face, it brings me even more
pleasure than taking a royal inquisitor.
Dude, this is so funny. It's good to see
you.
>> It's nice to hear it. It's taken a dozen
gishious talents, a few stolen side
crystals, and two 10 days of effort to
conjure my projection.
Worth it, I'd say. I miss this place.
This
fa run.
>> I figured the Lich Queen would be dead
by now. What's the hold up?
We've spilled blood, gained a foothold
in the astral, but still we need allies,
and one beyond reckoning has made itself
known. Zerith Minaragith.
>> Zerith Minarith. What's that? Nod your
heads as if the words mean anything at
all.
>> You need to pretend. I know the word
means little to you. Tractalor is the
capital of the Gizarai, an exiled
people. once kin with mine until the
madness of civil war ripped out one's
sky into two. Algent word of the
rebellion to their god king Zarith
Minara gift through the cosmos. He's
agreed to parlay. It's fallen to me to
secure an alliance.
>> The best choice of the job. Your tongue
is as learned as your blade.
>> My blade is keen as ever. But it was you
who showed me that a proper victory
doesn't always require a razor sharp
edge.
Sometimes a sincere plea is more
persuasive than a dagger against the
neck.
Minora Gith is an aesthetic. He reached
out in good faith. This is his way. It
is in this spirit that I must meet him.
And if he refuses,
I carry on. Gravity pulls me in but one
direction.
I am a warrior of the comet. My people
will be free.
But you've heard that refrain before.
Zealous, bossy, insistent.
All part and parcel of my undeniable
charm.
>> When will I see you again?
>> Soon. When the comet has risen.
I miss this place. I'll be back one day.
The over god himself couldn't keep me
away.
>> Oh yeah, I gave her the egg. What
happens? What's the whole point of that
egg? What has become of the egg, Lzelle?
Has it hatched?
>> So it has. And a fine man the hatchling
will be. I call him Zan. Freedom.
He is with the mages of Zambardim.
I trust his care to no one else. Zan's
destiny will be his own to follow.
Warrior, poet, explorer, scholar. His
way will be the way of the comet. No
chains to bind us. No lies to bury us.
Liberty will be the rallying cry that
unites our empire.
>> Uh, have you heard from word from
Orpheus since his departure? Oh, yeah.
So, Orpheus did not die in the save that
I'm going with the can my the Espan
cannon version. Not heard tell of him,
nor has my mind felt his presence.
It seems Gif's son has been lost to the
shadows. Perhaps one day he will step
into the light.
>> I somehow had two eggs. I had two G
Yankee eggs for some reason. Yeah, I
killed the lady that wanted the egg.
Okay, clothing chest.
Okay, that's that's got to change. Why
are there so many different underwear?
I thought it was bugged. It was bugged.
That's why I took it off for a second.
Dude, look. He's got Dude, he's got a
freaking shoulder holster for guns.
Okay, I guess I should talk to
>> One night is like any other. Thou art
the savior of Boulder's Gate
until such time it requires saving. ass
over here is one conversation from
ending the game and walking away, but
he's upset that he doesn't get to take
all his hoarder loot with him. Absolute
classic behavior. Maybe piss off Withers
one more time for good measure.
>> I can't help but feel some things have
been left undone.
>> If thou could only see the paths of fate
untaken,
thy mind would surely break. Be glad of
thy chosen path. It is after all
thine.
Enjoy the realry of the day. Thou
deservest at least that much.
I've caught up with everyone. What comes
next? Have I caught up with everyone? I
think I did.
I talked to Lazelle. I talked to Jihira.
I talked to Mora. I talked to Shadowart.
I talked to Minsk.
What indeed?
Prick up thy ears and listen.
The balance of the world restored. The
balance of these lives mortal and
otherwise brought to account.
Hear me
thou heroes, wast friends.
I have waited long to tell you these
words.
It is over
for now.
Thou played thy part in weaving the
fabric of fate itself. But for every
thread you sewed,
so did the gods unravel another.
>> Yeah, the chucks it in. Sleep, rest,
revel, but be ready
for thou mayast yet be needed.
Until we meet again, I wish thee every
possible fortune,
health, wealth, love, and above all,
problems worth solving.
>> To the hope of more adventures to come,
to you
cinema
and the game is over.
Wow.
Wow. What a game, dude. What a game.
37
streams.
37 streams, chat. You are here. Dude,
this is the longest playthrough of any
game that I've ever played. Okay, here
we go. Here we go.
>> There thou art
the dead three.
Thy faces gods. Thy actions barely
worthy of the name. Did truly believe
thy ploy would succeed.
Did believe I would not notice.
Thou sought to bolster thy strength by
taking away the souls of mortals.
But souls
vanish.
>> Dead three is Bane ball.
>> Mind flares. did think the other gods
would not notice.
>> Who's the other one?
>> Gods thou may be,
yet thou hast proven thyself,
fools,
everyone.
The supplication of Bane,
the whimper of Bal,
the death mule of Merkel.
Felled by mortals,
I overestimated thee.
They did not.
Vermin
away.
Thou wilt trouble us no more.
Wow.
Well, that's it, chat. I feel empty.
