As the latest entry in the Forgotten Realms setting of Dungeons and Dragons, Baldur's Gate 3 is naturally filled to the brim with references to previous characters and stories. Characters from the first two games appear, the arch-wizard Elminster stops by to visit, and Volothamp Geddarm is a consistent humorous presence. Rather, one key Forgotten Realms figure is missing: Drizzt Do'Urden, the infamous drow created by R.A. Salvatore. Drizzt's absence in Baldur's Gate 3 may have been due to rights issues, but developer Larian Studios managed to hide some humorous references that Drizzt fans can enjoy.
