Despite being two months old, Baldur’s Gate 3 players are still captivated by the game. One player recently praised the storyline involving Auntie Ethel, claiming it is one of the most underrated parts of the game. The creepy atmosphere of Ethel’s lair and her brilliant design make this section truly memorable.
Auntie Ethel appears in acts one and three of the game, offering players various ways to complete quests related to her. Interacting with the hag forces players to make tough choices, adding to the storyline’s impact. Baldur’s Gate 3 excels at presenting difficult decisions.
Players in the comments agree, highlighting Auntie Ethel’s well-written dialogue and the eerie mood of her lair and the surrounding swamp. The execution of her character is excellent, with surprises that will leave players unnerved.
If you’re a game developer seeking inspiration for a terrifying hag or witch design, look no further than Auntie Ethel. She rivals The Witcher 3’s Crones of Crookback Bog in terms of scariness, if not surpassing them.
