thespian jumping into the heatedly forebode Dungeons & Dragons RPG Baldur ’s Gate 3 will likely require to bound off through the intensely rambling licensing correspondence . But for those instrumentalist who actually decide to bide for a while and mind — er , sorry , wrong game — I mean read the mountainous EULA agreement , developer Larian has a small surprisal to keep your eyes from glaze over .
Players and multiple outlets include Polygonspotteda little easter egg in the game ’s long EULA correspondence , which is instead title “ Our Cursed Pact . ” Section 5 , titled “ Additional Obligations in Eldritch Law , ” solicit player to pause after “ having endured the above legion provisions of legal jargon . ” Players are solicit to “ be suspicious that in take over this Pact , you agree to refrain from striking a deal with another creature of Fey , Infernal , or otherwise Eldritch source . ” Those who heed the siren call of such malignant military force should do it Larian reserve the right to sever ties with the substance abuser “ and attempt appropriate remedy from the Morninglord . ”

For those not in the know , the Morning Lord , AKALathander , is a neutral good deity in the Forgotten Realms of reclamation , spring , newfangled showtime , and all things young and vital . The message could hint at events that happen in thegame ’s drawn-out escapade . At least it ’s not castigating anybody for their designate romance options , as that ’s one of the thing thathas jazzed a whole mint of people about the game .
The entire document constantly refers to itself as a “ Pact , ” which is a much better term for any kind of binding legal agreement . Unfortunately , the EULAfurther excludesSection 5 when talking about the governance of the agreement . That ’s a shame , as we would have loved to see Irish courts try and parse out an agreement not to ratify any form of deal with the Satan .
Larian has done a similar thing with Baldur ’s Gate 3 ’s early admittance release . All the way back in 2020 , the companyincludeda notice in the EULA accord noting a kind of bardic quest . Those who admit the “ pact ” also agreed to submit to Larian “ one ( 1 ) recording of a chant , song , text , poem , or interpretive terpsichore perform by you and extol your interest in the Forgotten Realms . ”
The posting hint that those who declined to polish off the “ quest ” after three winter would “ forfeit subsequent celebrity , fortune , and/or infamy as a institute member of our Guild of Great Genius . ” Supposedly , a few players must have heeded the call in the three old age since the biz entered genus Beta , though the developer have yet to partake any of these antics online . We ’re hoping for some epic - level bardic madness , should Larian finally decide to share .
