Baldur's Gate: Fan Sets Reward for Intelligent Karlach Dialogue

A Baldur's Gate 3 mystery: A $500 bounty for a Karlach cutscene.

A Baldur's Gate 3 YouTuber, Proxy Gate Tactician (PGT), has offered a $500 reward for proof of a specific, seemingly impossible cutscene featuring Karlach. This cutscene, where Karlach appears to acknowledge the game's existence, has baffled players since its initial, accidental discovery.

The game's massive success, fueled by its detail and immersive world, has made this elusive scene even more intriguing. While some players claim to have encountered it organically, no verifiable evidence exists. Initial data mining suggested the scene was inaccessible without modding the game. However, Karlach's voice actress, Samantha Beart, hinted at its existence, promising further details once someone triggered it legitimately.

PGT's challenge is simple: record the cutscene without mods, upload the video to YouTube, and notify PGT. The first to succeed, before Baldur's Gate 3's Patch 7 in September, wins the bounty.

The challenge's feasibility is questionable. PGT suspects the cutscene might be removed or inaccessible content, a remnant from earlier development. Even if the bounty goes unclaimed, the mystery surrounding this fourth-wall-breaking moment persists, leaving dataminers to potentially uncover its intended function in the future. Until then, it remains a captivating enigma within the already rich tapestry of Baldur's Gate 3.
