Baldur’s Gate 3 players discover strange inconsistency regarding Witheril

Baldur’s Gate 3 fans have noticed a strange inconsistency involving Wither, the undead friend who hangs around your camp and says a lot of mysterious things.

Baldur’s Gate 3 invites players to lead a party of adventurers into the world, but these warriors and wizards are not your only allies. Indeed, a certain Blight revives your memories when necessary.

You can first encounter him in a tomb early in the game, where he is relaxing in a sarcophagus. He continues to hang around your camp, where he resurrects dead allies. It also recruits new mercenaries and allows you to completely reconfigure your characters.

Many mysteries surround Blight. But there is one throughout the game that most players haven’t noticed. This is partly because of the UI and partly because of sed unusual dialogues with party members.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Players Wonder How Everyone Learned Withered’s Name

Reddit user u/Forsaken_Tap_4266 asked: “When did the group collectively decide to name her Blight? They never mention his name, yet he is referred to as Withered by other characters and is referred to by that name in the UI. “. Users in the thread quickly had comical responses to this inconsistency.

“They read his name above his head,” one user suggested. Another said: “My personal canon is that they all collectively decided on this nickname.”

“They all know it because of larvae,” one user explained. “Often you experience an event in history and the camp characters who shouldn’t be common talk about it as if they saw it with their own eyes. It’s all a matter of larvae. “.

This error could be due to Wither having several different names during Baldur’s Gate 3 Early Access. Larian may have wanted to keep the intro scene vague so as not to have to change dialogue in the future. They then allegedly forgot to include a moment where his name is announced.

The odd case of Wither’s name could also be because it’s heavily implied to be someone else. Larian may not have decided whether they would reveal this secret in-game, so it never formally introduced itself.

So, Withered might just be the strangest character in Baldur’s Gate 3. The mystery of the name is just one in a long list of oddities of this powerful undead mage. And this mystery may never be solved.
