Minthara from Baldur's Gate 3 may be the game's most obscure party member, but her existence begs big questions for another D&D game.

With as many branching narrative decisions as it has, Baldur's Gate 3 has no shortage of imaginative potential plotlines to choose from. A stunning rendition of lore from the Dungeons & Dragons franchise, the turn-based CRPG complements player agency and implements consequences to a degree worthy of its origins. The delicate nuance that interconnects the complex character relationships, player decision-making through action and dialogue, the regular setting changes, etc. makes a strong case for spin-off content using the game's core strengths. One lesser-known route in particular strikes a dubious accord on the potential for a future Baldur's Gate 3 spin-off with a greater degree of focus on evil playthroughs.
