The Baldur’s Gate 3 community believes it’s worth experiencing one of the game’s “most painful”scenes to get a special buff.
Baldur’s Gate 3 players are adamant it’s worth letting Volo graphically perform a lobotomy on their character to get a buff on the other side.
Fans have had their fair share of scenes that emotionally resonate with them, both the good and the bad, including one where Volo attempts to free the main character from his tadpole infection through brutal methods.
The scene that plays out is rather graphic but, despite this, the community truly believes that it is worth it for the end result.
Discussion about the scene is taking place on the Baldur’s Gate 3 subreddit, where one player mentions how it is, for them, the “most painful”scene to watch.
And while many other fans agree that the scene is difficult, they argue that it’s worth seeing because of what’s on the other side of the experience:
“I hate this scene, but the buff is just so good…”
The buff in question is a new eye given to the character, which provides him with the ability to see invisible characters within a certain radius, something that can be very beneficial against certain enemies.
This is such a beneficial buff that some Baldur’s Gate 3 players have made this scene a requirement for every playthrough:
“It happened by accident in my first game but now I do it on purpose every time.»
But that doesn’t diminish the pain it can be for many to watch the lobotomy unfold, with one user saying it’s the only part of the game that makes him “almost sick.”
Regardless of its graphical content, it seems that a large portion of Baldur’s Gate 3’s player base feels like they need to do this to become stronger.
