Players of Baldur’s Gate 3 are expressing their frustration with the developers for overlooking a crucial feature in the game. The Mountain Pass, one of the early locations, is often missed by players due to the game’s guidance, leading them to take an alternative route. However, the Mountain Pass offers valuable content that enhances the story and should not be ignored.
According to a Reddit post on Nov. 15, players feel that Larian Studios discourages exploration of the Mountain Pass. Characters within the game, including the standing githyanki and the dragon, give the impression that it is not worth visiting. Additionally, the game itself suggests choosing the Underdark route to Moonrise Towers, further deterring players from discovering the Mountain Pass. However, the post highlights the importance of this location in learning more about Shadowheart’s artifact and its contribution to the overall story.
Many players agree with this sentiment, noting that apart from Lae’Zel, most companions and in-game events steer players towards the Underdark route. This creates a false dichotomy between the two locations when, in reality, both should be explored for a complete experience.
While some players may have missed the Mountain Pass due to the presence of the Githyanki at its entrance or personal preferences regarding companions, revisiting the area in subsequent playthroughs reveals its hidden potential. It is possible that Larian Studios intentionally created this illusion of choice to encourage players to explore different paths in subsequent playthroughs.
Overall, players believe that the developers should have provided clearer guidance or emphasized the significance of the Mountain Pass to ensure that players do not overlook this important feature. By doing so, players can fully immerse themselves in the game’s rich storyline and uncover all the hidden gems it has to offer.
