Larian Studios has messed around with the Baldur’s Gate 3 Terms and Conditions again. If you read this, you deserve a medal. You can find out which mysterious contract you agree to on MeinMMO.
What’s behind the contract? Without a doubt, Baldur’s Gate 3 is a huge success that even the developers didn’t expect. But Larian Studios shows the importance of reading through the entire User Agreement.
If you’re playing the RPG or planning to, be sure to check the T&Cs (yes, really!). The annoying User Agreements that everyone usually skips. Larian Studios has hidden a nerdy surprise for you in the Terms and Conditions.
Which contract do you agree to? Players spotted a clever message from Larian Studios in Baldur’s Gate 3’s lengthy T&Cs. There’s a nod in the middle of the text: the developers warn players against doing business with supernatural beings of Fey, Infernal, or other Eldritch origins. Better hands off, so the humorous message from Larian Studios.
Similar pact as in Dungeons & Dragons
The Baldur’s Gate 3 Terms and Conditions winks at Dungeons & Dragons fans and puts a smile on their faces. A similar contract exists in Dungeon & Dragons Fifth Edition. In D&D, almost everyone is constantly trying to trick you into making some kind of pact. Warlocks in particular derive their powers specifically from such a pact with a mysterious being. But don’t worry, a warlock probably won’t get sued.
What are the reactions? Larian Studios’ attention to detail and the desire to laugh with fans is evident from the developers themselves in their Baldur’s Gate 3 terms and conditions. Players react enthusiastically to the small details in the user conditions.
Numerous screenshots of the terms and conditions are circulating on social media. You can read section five again here:
For example, Alwayslookingout wrote on Reddit (via.reddit.com) “I don’t know what’s more impressive. That Larian built that in or that someone actually read the T&Cs.”
Reddit user demoninadress commented (via.reddit.com): As a lawyer, I’m obsessed with this.
Chesidia makes the following comment on Reddit (via.reddit.com): First time in a long time (if ever, I have to admit) that I’ve actually read the T&Cs. I’m completely in love with this studio to be honest.
In Baldur’s Gate 3 itself, however, there is definitely the possibility of some rather interesting, albeit shady, deals:
