The Curious Case of the Baldur's Gate 3 Serial Killer | The Stuff of Legends

[@DanGamingFan2406]

It's easy to forget that "good" in rpg's isn't the same as "nonviolent." This story really goes to show how quickly misinformation spreads and takes hild in people's minds, especially when no one looks further into it than what's on the surface level. You did journalism a great service, Frost.

[@watershipup7101]

Agreed

[@TheGreenScout]

One of the few criticisms I have of BG3 is the lack of the 'lawful/neutral evil' option. Like the 'selfish, clever bastard', rather than the 'refugee slaughtering nutjob' type. Given the slaughter you engage in as a matter of course, pretending you're good and virtuous seems kinda bizarre.

[@stevenneiman1554]

Most RPGs, at least. There definitely are ones where not leaving a mountain of corpses in your wake is actually a reasonable and intended option.

[@misterscienceguy]

It's especially amusing how prone to misinformation that news about BG3 is. The biggest one was the "AAA devs attack BG3 because video game too big", which was a complete nothing burger promoted by garbage clickbait KZbin channels that market to people who seemingly base their entire personality around being capital G gamers and perpetually offended.

[@asdalel1313]

This game has no "Jail". Is either let them thrive or kill them.

[@MeTheOneth]

Amazing how the response after finding out that the "serial killer's" mass grave was the usual number of bodies for that game was "oh, well that's alright, then" instead of "oh, god, we're all monsters and we have been the whole time". Great work, Frost!

[@foldionepapyrus3441]

Well its not quite the same number, at the very minimum that poor Teifling Bard did nothing to deserve such a horrible fate. But she is as far as I know always killed as kind of the opening act for The Dark Urge's plot arc. And there are others that didn't need to die but the Urge wants you to. I'd also point out that technically you don't have to kill, as far as I know you can win every fight you get into with them only knocked unconscious if you really want to try.

[@TheOneTrueMar]

Well if it was a game about a war then even as a good guy hero you'd have stacks and stacks of murdered enemies around you. And considering it's a game... why should the reaction be "Oh no! We're monsters"? RPGs and action games in general focus heavily on combat. Mountains of corpses of enemies is standard. Nothing horrific.

[@MeTheOneth]

@@TheOneTrueMar Yeah, that's kind of the problem.

[@user-pu6pn8vt5d]

It is interesting how people seem to "forget" how much violence an RPG involves, even on a "good" playthrough.

[@SolaScientia]

Yeah, I figured this guy was going around killing quest givers and such like that, not just the assorted enemy NPCs most players kill in their playthrough.

I actually posted a slightly negative post before this just because I don't like them cribbing Yahtzees style in these other videos, BUT , they sure as hell have been making good content recently. They had some good stuff in the early days(Shamus comes to mind, rip) and they have made a huge comeback in the past few years. This was a good video. Still not a fan of them using the ol' Yahtzee imp art style.

[@theescapist]

Yahtzee has directly collaborated in making this the style of the channel. He looks forward to seeing what the team does with Adventure is Nigh as much as the community does. It's not a The Escapist vs Yahtzee, we're a team.@@Grummar

[@Grummar]

​@@theescapistI never thought it was a you vs them situation, afaik you guys have always been a very good employer for Yahtzee, which is why he has stuck with you, it is just jarring to see the artstyle elsewhere, which is just my personal preference.

[@vyrdera]

Was trying to confirm this was Frost there's no hiding that voice 😂

[@pienoaji]

I'd go so far as to call this a fascinating piece of art. He piles up corpses in a house and claims it's NPCs, and people freak out, call him a monster, etc, but then it's revealed that these are merely Enemies that any player would kill, and he's not a monster anymore. It forces one to examine the violence and sadism inherent in any videogame where you mow people down unthinkingly, completely unexamined until you're forced to reflect on it by imagining your massive corpse pile as one of potential friends, companions, quest givers, and just friendly bystanders. The goblins were probably that to each other. To the gnolls and spiders, you still are the monster and the murderer.

[@vanhoras3082]

Baldurs Gate takes that further, as the goblins themself are NPC's, quest givers and not so friendly bystanders. You can also side with them, although that would be considered the "evil" playthrough.

[@kharijordan6426]

He said NPC's every one thought it was the non enemy NPC's. The children in that druid camp, the survivors of that fire ect. It's miscommunication at most. They thought he killed regular NPCs nor enemies NPC's witch as far as fantasy is concerned are straight up evil. If not evil than literal animals looking to eat you. Of course everyone is ok with it when it turns out to be evil NPCs. The real world isn't detective comics. Everyone knows that in a fight for your life you should kill your attacker.

[@Flyon86]

Far Cry 3 had some really interesting parts where it examined how you take an "average" guy and then turn him into an unstoppable death machine. You're doing it to rescue your friends that captured by a criminal gang, but there's story beats where you're talking to your friends after rescuing them and the main character says he thinks he actually likes killing the enemy. You can see the concern in your friend's face when he said that. It's an fps, so that's the point of the game, but it does bring in some reality where if someone had to mow down hundreds of pirates it would definitely give them some mental damage. Spec ops the line also played with the theme very well.

[@Silvanfan]

I wouldn't say that you kill "unthinkingly". The encounters occur because you're now in a "kill or be killed" situation. If you don't wipe out those goblins, Sharites, or mindflayers for example, YOU'RE going to be added to THEIR pile. The deaths that are inevitable is what comes when you're existing in a society that lives By The Sword, where you mete out justice as it affects you. A player definitely could think about WHY they're getting involved in situations that don't affect them (for example, do you trust Mayrena's brothers, or Auntie Ethel? Why even get involved? By whose morality or ethics is one to judge?). Sadism REALLY enters the chat when the player starts to kill NPCs because they *can*, like in GTA where people just drive and run over nameless NPCs and not care. So ye, to the gnolls and spiders and goblins, sure, you're the monster, but they were DEFINITELY going to eat you first, and you just happened to survive their attack. But if you side with them and attack the tieflings (the defenseless children and bystanders most especially) and the druids... what does that say about your character?

[@vanhoras3082]

@@Silvanfan The goblins also have defenseless children and bystanders and are mind controlled. They are essentially innocent. And you are not forced to kill anyone. You can simply knock them out, achieving the same result. Death is not inevitable in the situation, it's your choice to kill.

“We feel disgust. Not at ourselves but at the person who revealed to us the truth” Such a great line!

[@TheDMJoel]

During an actual D&D campaign I kept track of what my players killed. Really puts into context some stuff when the “good guys” each of a body count in the hundreds plus all the monsters

[@vigorouslethargy]

I'm kinda glad the campaign I'm in now does not have a lot of non-monstrous enemies. And the times we do have to fight other sapient beings we will usually try and talk our way out if possible. The first humanoid my character killed was part of a gang we were confronting and he had meant to just injure them and force them to submit, but he rolled max damage on fire bolt and killed the guy. He was not ok for a few in game days.

[@AegixDrakan]

One of two reasons I'm glad the campaign I'm in is in a nation utterly teeming with undead. Almost all combat is entirely guilt-free. We've only fought other people twice, and took them in non-lethally both times. We even try to make them surrender, and the last one standing usually takes us up on that offer, once they realize that it's going to be 4 on 1 and they have no escape option. XD (The other reason I'm glad for the location is that Nabrok is the last country anyone would look for my character, and boy does he have a lot of people looking for him. XD)

[@karisaparolampinen]

You're such a good writer, and I feel lucky that you're employing your skills on a semi-niche subject matter that I'm fond of. The creative themes, wit and execution of the narration is something that's (to me) previously unheard of in video game journalism.

[@yavorvlaskov5404]

This is an absolutely exciting piece, when I saw this on reddit I was like "man, I wish I could talk to this person more, found out exactly how this made them feel, there must be more to it". Redditors were not particularly nice in all their comments, some calling the person out to seek help (I mean they may have had a point, but in most cases you should not armchair diagnose people just based on a single post for a video game). In all the clutter he probably answered somewhere that those are not the actual interactable and (predominantly) friendly NPCs, that he didn't go out of his way to slaughter the grove or something, but are just enemies - but that never made it to a top comment. I absolutely love this episode, just like the other ones it transcends gaming and tries to analyze a community created through a separation by a virtual wall which has its layer of interference in any communication. Top notch stuff, really, kudos the Escapist team

In MGS3, there’s a boss fight where you have to slowly traverse a river being confronted/avoiding all the things you’ve killed up to that point. Animals included. If you go for a complete stealth run, the area is empty and you “win” that encounter. It’s a genuinely great moment in video games

[@Bubbles.Erotica]

My Dark Urge playthrough, was my first playthrough. A Dragonborn Paladin Oathbreak after the first night. I had a coin beside my keyboard and flipped it every time the troubling thoughts occurred. I wanted something more than a murder hobo killing everything. Because to me, consciously choosing only the negative options isn't roleplay, and choosing only positive options is the same. It's getting to the desired ending. I wanted to get an ending based on my actions, and not preexisting conditions ("I'm going to play a good character and save everybody.") so I replicated the core of the binary choice systems of morality, a coin flip. As a result some lived and some died. A paladin that encouraged the absolute worst in people, pushing for their own ambitions. Gale and the Crown, Astarion being a vampire lord, or finding compassion and helping them face the future. Shadowheart, she got the only happy ending in my game. By the end of the game, nearly everyone including party members died, my paladin fell from divinity, cavorted with demons, and mind flayers. Murdering and saving in equal measures. The coin decided their fates, and I carried them out without prejudice. Saved the tieflings in act I, only to murder them in act II, killed one old legend and then consoled the friend, expressing sorrow for his loss. Selling a divine being then killing the buyer. I wanted to break the morality of BG3. Create a game where everyone had an equal chance to live or die, some that lived deserved to die, while others that died deserved life. The only decision that wasn't a coin flip was my final choice, hell even Baldur's Gate was saved by the toss of a coin. The last and only non-flipped act of my paladin was to end her own life because I thought it thematically appropriate. A conflicted character to the end. Truly an amazing experience. Sometimes she'd resist her urges, and sometimes she failed, but she was, at one point, on the path of righteousness, and I wanted to reflect that struggle. Always owning up to her murders and fought through the consequences. Someone who wanted to do good and right by the people, but through a cruel twist of fate was compelled to do horrible things. I had 2 self imposed rules: No save scumming, (If I wiped, and loaded the file, I had to take the original choices chosen by the coin) and not being allowed to reclaim my oath until the urge was defeated within me (Don't know if this is possible, but it was core to the experience).

The initial description as a room piled high with bodies made me have an immediate reaction of "That's what every level of Thief (original, late 90s) or Dishonored looks like after I've gone through it (I'm kinda OCD, not diagnostically, but casually, and also was extremely overly paranoid about not knowing everyone's long patrol routes, so I'd try to hide every unconscious body in the one spot I was sure wouldn't be checked)

They’ve actually done worse in that game… They also used the games engine to create a SAW-style murder maze where they teleport npcs in and make them compete for their survival, using weird quirks of the games engine to create switches and things (setting this all up took dozens of hours), that one is affectionately dubbed “the Halls of Infinite Torment”.

[@snoozbuster]

I think it’s probably not that bad. You can right click any item in your inv (like a body) and send it to your storage in camp, which as far as I know is unlimited. Then you fast travel to your morgue, enter camp, pull them all out, leave camp. You might be overburdened but you wouldn’t have to go all that far (plus you can use your party member’s invs). I imagine a few of the bigger ones were more of a pain but honestly I expect the sorting took most of the time
