Baldur’s Gate 3 includes an incredibly touching tribute to a player’s father living with Alzheimer’s.
To fully appreciate this tribute, we need to go back a few years. When Baldur’s Gate 3 was still in early access, forum user Solfalia messaged Larian to thank the studio for releasing Act I, despite the game not being complete. This release allowed Solfalia to play the game – as it was at the time – with their father, who had recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Their father had played other Larian games in the past and was a fan, so this opportunity meant a lot to them both.
“This Early Access means that this Xmas I’ll be able to go on an adventure with him one last time, and I know he’ll enjoy it,” Solfalia wrote in their original post from 2020.
