‘There wasn’t a dry eye in the house’ – Baldur’s Gate 3 writer reflects on including tribute to a fan’s father with Alzheimer’s

A Baldur’s Gate 3 writer has reflected on Larian Studios’ decision to include a tribute in the game to a fan’s father who has Alzheimers, and said they’re “really happy we got to honour the mighty mindflayer hunter.”

As IGN reports, the origins of this story date back to 2020, when one player, who goes by the username Solfalia, took to the Larian forums to thank the developers for releasing Baldur’s Gate 3 in early access. They explained that the early access release would enable them to play the game alongside their father – something they were worried that they wouldn’t be able to do after his Alzheimer’s diagnosis.
