Baldur's Gate 3 has some incredible companion characters that players can create a party with to explore the Sword Coast. As the story of Baldur's Gate 3 unravels, the themes become clear, particularly among the Origin companion characters. All the companion characters have suffered abuse at the hands of those with power over them in some way or another, and this abuse manifests in different ways. Baldur's Gate 3 is an examination of the cycles of abuse, the different forms abuse takes, and how victims can either remove themselves from it to heal or continue to perpetuate the cycle onto others.
