Baldur's Gate 3 DARK SUN DLC? | Withers' Note Teaser Breakdown

a hey folks jackor here I'm back today to delve into potential DLC for balate 3 once again you see in the exciting aftermath of balers gate 3's epilog party a mysterious note discovered on W's desk has set the community a blaze with speculation about laran Studio's next move while the patched epilog party did Mark the conclusion of the game's current storyline laran has teased at something just as thrilling Over the Horizon if you missed my recent discussion on the strong chances of DLC for bg3 now is the time to catch up as we explored all the relevant info supporting the fact that additional story content most likely will be on its way and following that today we are plunging head first into a direct tease for a significant DLC concept that initially slipped past my radar but upon closer inspection it's becoming clear that this tease carries heavy story implications for the ser series's future with that let's delve straight in So at the epilog party players exploring with's Temple will have stumbled upon a note potentially hinting at additional content for balers Gate 3 or even a brand new project from laran in the upcoming future now given wi's parting words until we meet again which was addressed to our Tav and their friends I'm leaning more towards this note linking to a future DLC involving the current bg3 gang regardless of its intention it definitely serves as a substantial teaser for a future storyline now this note in question inscribed in wi's handwriting and directed to an unknown entity is of course in an indecipherable language the only piece of information provided is a single image conveying the impression of a dark sun in a white Sky suggesting either an author or a warning now straight up the mere mention of Dark Sun immediately ties us to syc the god of lies and trickery in fun sirich also known as the prince of Lies stands as the chaotic evil diety of murder death and tyranny rising to power roughly a decade ago during the time of troubles you'd have to forgive me for this pronunciation because I have not experienced it firsthand but apparently on Bora Sky Bridge CK vanquished Bal with the aid of mask in the guise of the sword godsbane and claimed his portfolio subsequently sirich acquired the domains of Merkel and Bane following their demise do you sense the theme Here sirich directly ties to the dead three and so a cc focused DLC for Boulders Gate 3 makes plenty of sense with the recent demise of the dead three but there are several more reasons given the God's potential connections to current characters and events in bg3 for example sirich was responsible for the murder of a previous incarnation of mist the go of magic and of course Gail's ex lover equally sirich found himself often in opposition to sha frequently meddling with her followers Sha of course presenting herself in bg3 largely and moreover previously sirich has appeared briefly in the previous Boulders gate games passing judgment on our protagonist at the time judging their worthiness as the successor to their father Bal ultimately unimpressed by our hero now digging deeper into sirk's history he emerges as the former mortal who stole the power of the dead three the one responsible for slaying Bal and becoming the god of death strife and the dead although his domain was contested sirich proved his metal in retaining control over Strife regaining his sanity in the process and if we return to this note and wi's cryptic toast at the epilog party a sense of forboding lingers as rers declared it is over for now thou played thy part in weaving the Fabrics of of Fate itself but for every thread you SW so did the gods unravel another sleep rest Revel but be ready for Lou mayest yet be needed until we meet again and so with the dead thre's Dominion at an end the question does arise could sirk's emergence coincide with the unsettling notion of peculiar Gods unraveling the very fabric of Fate it's certainly probable especially when we tie with his not and his toast together it most likely seems our current have is going to be the one to wrap up this final threat but that is not all the mention of a dark sun in wi's note can also tie us with ays a setting in Dungeons and Dragons famously known as dark sun and similar to Boulders gate this DND setting has a history in video games with titles like dark Sun shattered lands in 1993 Dark Sun wake of the ravager in 1994 and the 1996 MMO RPG Dark Sun online Crimson Sands which concluded its run in 1999 Aus the backdrop of Dark Sun sharply contrasts with Fair run of the Forgotten Realms it is a scorching forsaken desert realm devoid of gods governed by potent Arcane casters who wield magic without worsening the environment it sounds like it would be almost a new game entirely which could certainly be the case if Lan's tease relates to their next project if so is Dark Sun the next Dungeons and Dragons setting to see a 20 plus Year video game Revival as laran has done so with the boulders gate franchise certainly possible either way we have two solid concepts for what's coming next from Lan involving this dark Sun tease from bg3 DLC with a returning evil God to the scene or a brand new project centered on a scorched forsaken realm with textbooks of law to boot maybe even a mix of the two sirich the dark sun in a dark Sun campaign or is that just too much I definitely think that this sirc the Dark Sun DLC storyline is the safest bet that Larry and Studios can go when we think about potential DLC ideas I talked at length in my last video about specific DLC ideas I would like to see from helping Lazelle fight blacker with orus to returning to Aus with with Will and carlac to finally kill zariel and while I believe these would be absolutely fantastic ideas for DLCs it's just not as realistic or efficient for laran to do with the vast amount of choices that we individually can make for these characters and so while I know a lot of the community would like to see a lot of these Cliffhanger loose storylines set up from the epilog party but there are still a vast amount of variables to consider to really boot off the stories for example for a verus DLC to work you would need will and khac to be alive but if you were playing an evil character and you sided with the goblins and killed all of the Grove you are already going to be reducted from any potential DLC affecting KHAK will and a verness and so therefore it is a hard route to go down when we consider dlc's based on so many storylines in the Bas game that have a vast amount of choices whereas a cc Darkon DLC coming off from the ending of dg3 where we've killed the Dead 3 or there are at least more smaller nuanced choices tied to that DLC is a lot easier all we really need for this is to have our Tav alive and then Withers to enter the scene and establish story for them which there is certainly a lot more room for and a lot less choices to consider in contrary to other DLC ideas so do let me know down below what you would like to see regarding this dark Sun teas but until next one I open Jack and I should go who who whoa who whoa whoa
