New Baldur's Gate 3 Player Stats Prove You're All Knife
Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- Larian Studios revealed player behavior statistics in Baldur’s Gate 3, highlighting that many players kill the NPC Alfira, a tiefling bard, even when not playing the Dark Urge background that compels her murder.
- Alfira’s death is meant to be a forced event for Dark Urge players, but surprisingly, more non-Dark Urge players kill her voluntarily, indicating a high level of gratuitous violence among players.
- Additional quirky stats include over 100 players opting for a 1:1 aspect ratio and some using a 9:16 vertical video mode, likely for content creation purposes.
- Four players reportedly used the unusual "poop-knife" weapon in Act 3, showcasing some of the game’s more eccentric player choices.
- The data underscores a darker, more chaotic player tendency in Baldur’s Gate 3, with some seemingly killing NPCs without narrative necessity.
