"Baldur’s Gate 3 Players puzzled by Authentic Elder Brain in Lore"
Players of Baldur’s Gate 3 are puzzled by the portrayal of the Netherbrain, a powerful force in the game, as less intelligent than its lore suggests.

This has sparked discussions on the game's subreddit, with one player noting the conflict between the Netherbrain's supreme intellect in lore and the plot's progression.
