Baldur’s Gate 3 is a game with arguably the most hours of recorded dialogue ever (competing with Red Dead Redemption 2). Players have done multiple playthroughs, exploring every ending and dialogue option that exists in the game. On that note, Larian Studios have been known to sneakily add additional lines of dialogue and more options with every update (and let’s not forget the Mods). Now, some players report that even after thousands of hours in Baldur’s Gate 3, they are still discovering new lines of dialogue.
Players Claim That Thousands of Hours are Not Enough to See All the Dialogue Options in Baldur’s Gate 3
It seems that you can do a thousand playthroughs and it still won’t be enough. One player, named Mysterious_Ad_1525 on Reddit, posted that they had spent almost two thousand hours playing Baldur’s Gate 3. They continue saying that even all this time, they are still discovering new lines of dialogue, namely some concerning Karlach and Illithid Tadpoles.
When they approached her with the idea of using the Tadpole powers: “I’m expecting to hear the usual “Well you seem fine but eh, Idk about it chief,” & having to convince her.” But they were shocked when Karlach approved of them, and even asked for one. “KARLACH. ASKED FOR. A TADPOLE. I literally said out loud to my computer screen “SINCE TF WHEN?!!!” I say all this to ask…is this new? Is this something they added? Or did I do something differently that I didn’t notice?”
Players Have Different Experiences
Larian Studios have been releasing some patches in the last couple of months, and it looks like those added more lines of dialogue. ”There’s been a lot of dialogue additions in recent patches. They also changed a lot with Karlach and Wyll meeting,” said Ecothunderbolt, and “Wow, this is completely new to me too! Like two hours ago I had to convince Karlach to take the astral tadpole not only once but twice lmao” added mia205.
However, others claim that they always had Karlach (or other companions) ask for one. “As far as I know some companions like Astarion and Karlach were always more onboard with the idea and didn’t need much convincing.” added Satori_sama, and “What!! Everytime I interacted with karlach after eating tadpole , she gave the “have any spare going around dialogue” exclaimed blade_anims. Some point out the fact that it is most sensible for Karlach to ask for those tadpoles, given her whole in-game storyline.
Whatever the case, it is so amazing that even after so many hours put into the game, the players are still able to find something new.
