Baldur’s Gate 3 presents players with numerous character story arcs that can twist and turn in various ways, leaving some players perplexed. One such arc is the tale of Dame Aylin, also known as “the Nightsong,” which begins with intrigue but ends in a somewhat confusing and unsatisfying manner for some players, depending on their choices in Act Two and Act Three. Here’s a breakdown of what happens:
| Act | Events |
|---|---|
| Act Two | If you spare Dame Aylin and add her to your camp, she can help you confront the sorcerer Lorroakan, who seeks to trap her for immortality. |
| Act Three | After defeating Lorroakan, Dame Aylin reveals her vengeful side but then abruptly leaves your camp, leaving players feeling unsatisfied. |
Some players find Dame Aylin’s story arc to be incomplete. Despite her escape from being used for immortality, she remains consumed by anger towards her enemies, lacking closure.
However, others argue that Dame Aylin’s story offers one of the few “happy” endings in the game. Instead of being exploited by Balthazar or Lorroakan, she finds freedom to be with her love, Isobel. Nevertheless, her lingering rage suggests unresolved trauma from her years of imprisonment under Shar.
In conclusion, while Dame Aylin’s story arc may leave players wanting more, it does provide a sense of triumph and happiness amidst the turmoil of Baldur’s Gate 3.
