Everyone's malding over spoilers and not realizing this isn't an actual ending that's coded into the game, it's just a funny side effect of a spell that malfunctioned during the end boss.

MODERATORS
They could have clarified that in the headline
But then they wouldn't get so many clicks and reactions.
The people upset that they may have had the most secret ending spoiled for them in a headline aren’t going to click on that.
people being lied to get upset
You: “but think of their precious clicks”
I think it was implied by “rarest” being in quotes.
edit: at least, I knew immediately it was no such thing because of that, like every other time someone says something while doing air quotes with their fingers.
It's literally described in the very first sentence:
A Baldur’s Gate 3 player joked that their fiancée may have found the rarest possible ending for the game when Wild Magic turned everyone into dogs and cats for the final cutscenes.
"this player finds rare ending of the game"
describes ending
People who read about the ending of the game: BRO YOU GAVE SPOILERS FOR THE ENDING, WHAT THE FUCK! surprised pikachu
Spoiler tags for literal game endings would be nice even if they are in the titles
There're no "spoilers" as it's a malfunctioned spell during the end scene, nothing more. That said, anyone clicking through to an article with "rarest ending" in the title deserves whatever kick in the head they get from reading about an ending scene... 🙄🤌🏼
It's not like it's an ending that most people are going to stumble upon by accident.
I mean, the person who wrote the thing literally did stumble on it by accident xD
But I know what you meant to say. THIS ISN'T A SPOILER PEOPLE! They literally didn't provide a video because it might SPOIL the ending!
Am I missing something? Theres only text and a screenshot. Why is everyone arguing? You can't even watch it.
Don't know if this counts as an ending proper rather than a funny and very rare unintended effect. I doubt the devs planned for it or even realized it could happen.
God I wish the endings were as clever as this bug.
In reality the ending is pretty mediocre, and for some endings it's literally just a few lines of dialogue and that's it. Massive letdown.
Well felt like classic TTRPG "And life continued to move without you" to me and I liked it
I'm trying to remember an ending that wasn't.
The >!redeemed!< Dark Urge ending had me perplexed: >!Don't have kids or they'll probably murder for Bhaal, toodles!!<
I still need to play this but all this coverage is sort of spoiling all the mystery
It really doesn't, though. There are so many options that affect the story in very different ways, so pretty much no playthrough will be the same.
Unless you've forcibly seen most of them and you can pick out what moments go where because x action, or you have this one singular shred of information that happens to be the integral piece to draw together an entire arc.
Earlier this week, I was listening to music on YouTube and saw a thumbnail that told me exactly what was up with the tadpoles. Not even the title. I don't remember what the title was. It was written on the thumbnail in giant glaring yellow letters.
If I am to play this game. I cannot have access to the internet in any conceivable way. I had thought this problem only extended to forums and news sights, places that were fairly obvious and thus easily avoided, but it's the entire internet when you least expect it.
I'm a third of the way into act 2 and the only teammates whose important plot moments and/or multiple endings I don't know are Wyll and Lae'zel, and that's only because nobody likes them enough to be talking about them.
I have tried to avoid this shit at every turn. It's still a great game. It's fantastic. It would have been in my top 3 if I could have played the damn thing on my own. I fucking love picking things to shreds more than anything else and there are so many pressing unknowns and conflicting motivations that I'd be having the time of my life. You don't understand. I could write a whole thesis on any one of them.
But I know the answers already. I'm kind of convinced the reason I've found myself so much more attached to side characters like Mol, Oliver, etc. over most of the main story npcs is because they weren't important enough for anyone to ruin them for me.

I wanna find everyone who posts shit like that and str–
Wish them a very good time
I usually avoid that by not getting too hyped up about a game before I play it. It saved my playthroughs of Cyberpunk and Starfield, although Panam's unwavering heterosexuality and my flatmate spoiling the end of Starfield kinda damaged my interest in both.
I avoid watching any videos about the hyped up new game, so youtube doesn't recommend me any videos about the hyped up new game
Nothing is spoiled by this headline, it's just a bug where your characters might not depolymorph after the last fight, and they'll appear as animals in the ending cutscenes
Well, my wife now has a new goal in life, replacing the search for the realm of naked men.
