"Baldur's Gate 3's Heartfelt Tribute Leaves Players Misty-Eyed"

Larian Studios incorporated a heartfelt tribute into their RPG Baldur's Gate 3, honoring a player's father who had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. The player, Solfalia, shared how the game allowed for one last adventure with his father, and Larian responded by creating an in-game character, Golbraith Stredivas, modeled after his father. This character, a retired mind flayer hunter, is found in Golbraith's Cellar within the game, complete with touching dialogue and a backstory that resonated deeply with Solfalia and his father. The tribute serves as a beautiful gesture amidst the father's battle with the disease, and it highlights the compassionate community engagement by Larian Studios.
