The game Baldur’s Gate 3 may have missed out on a potentially recruitable character, a bard named Alfira. A mod disclosed that Alfira was a possible recruitable character at some point in the game’s development. The revelation sparked disappointment among players as the game lacks a single recruitable bard, though it features two druids. Some players expressed a desire for a bard, even if only for humor, and the possibility of modding the game to achieve this.
The modding community for Baldur’s Gate 3 has developed various mods, including useful and humorous ones, though some players prefer to experience the game as originally designed. However, mods like Overexplained Interaction Options for Baldur’s Gate 3 can be beneficial to players with specific objectives, such as managing companion opinions. References to Alfira in the game’s third act suggest that she may have been recruitable, adding to the intrigue surrounding her character. Alfira’s background and appearance, including her interactions in the game, make her an appealing potential companion.
The game’s current lack of a bard has disappointed players, as playing as a bard in the game reportedly yields limited enjoyment. The absence of major bard characters in the game further emphasizes the missed opportunity that Alfira represents. Despite the disappointment, there is an understanding that game development decisions are made for a reason, and dwelling on what could have been may not be productive. Baldur’s Gate 3, developed by Larian Studios, is a highly-anticipated addition to the Dungeons & Dragons-based RPG series.
The game places players in the midst of a mind flayer invasion of Faerûn, set over a century after its predecessor.
