Baldur’s Gate 3 Players Learn Stealth Isn’t Always the Way to Go After Skipping Major Story Arc

While being stealthy in Baldur’s Gate 3 can be a useful approach, it may result in players missing out on important quests, as one fan recently found out.

Whether you’re engaging in a game of DnD or Baldur’s Gate 3, stealth is often considered a crucial strategy when facing combat or pulling off heists. This is because avoiding detection means avoiding potential attacks, allowing you to either surprise your enemies or obtain valuable items without having to roll for initiative.

Nevertheless, as a player recently discovered, being too stealthy can have negative consequences, such as missing out on important quests.

The Steel Watcher Foundry is a memorable quest that introduces you to the challenging Gondians and their loved ones. As part of the mission, you must demolish the Steel Watcher Foundry and eliminate all its contents, except for the innocent civilians.

Nevertheless, a user on the Baldur’s Gate 3 Reddit shared their misfortune and exposed the impracticality of stealth in this specific situation.

Ultimately, a single player managed to infiltrate the Foundry undetected and detonate the bomb, utilizing invisibility positions. While this approach proved to be effective, it resulted in them missing out on the entirety of the Gondian narrative due to their reliance on stealth.

Stealth is a valuable skill in Baldur’s Gate 3, particularly for rogues. However, it is important to use it wisely as it may result in missing out on significant quests, as mentioned earlier.

With that being said, it is worth noting that the second playthrough will offer a completely different experience. And if you opt for a stealthy approach in certain adventures, your game could also have a unique twist.
