Baldur’s Gate 3 teaser hints at the return of Minsk

Among the most anticipated RPGs of recent times is undoubtedly the next part of the legendary Baldur’s Gate series, which this time has been taken care of by the friendly Belgian studio Larian. Although it won’t be a direct continuation of the previous installments, the journey of the mighty spawn of Bhaal was in the epic data disk. Baldur’s Gate II: Throne of Bhaal correctly and satisfactorily completed, v Baldur’s Gate 3 some well-known characters beloved by series veterans may yet appear.

One of them is also evidenced by the latest short teaser, which primarily serves as an announcement of participation in the upcoming event. Gaming Awards 2022. You can see it above. And who did the trailer actually show us? And, of course, the character who is the face of the entire famous RPG series.

And she is also a good-natured border guard and, above all, by the name of “the embodiment of evil.” Minsk, which could become one of the player’s companions in both the first and second parts of Baldur’s Gate. There is also a hamster in Minsk named after him. Boo, which is not an ordinary rodent. According to Minsk, we are talking about miniature space hamster, which is especially striking (wink, wink). As an easter egg, Boo also appeared in Mass Effect Trilogywhere Shepard can buy it for the cabin. This can also be seen in the teaser, but he and his border guard are both petrified.

The story of Baldur’s Gate 3 should take place approximately 120 years after the events of the second partthus, some human characters who cannot enjoy the luxury of longevity, like elves and half-elves, will be dead for some time. Thanks to the comic Legends of Baldur’s Gate but we know that Minsk and Boo turned to stone at some point, so the destructive action of time could not leave its mark on them. However, in the third part they will definitely be released.

Will he become one of the characters that the player can recruit into the squad? Well, this could tip the balance of power as Minsc has faced dragons, powerful demons and demigods in previous games, but we’ll see what role Larian will give him. And if we do not hear him at least once in the game shout: ,,Go to the eyes, Boo! Go to the eyes“Then we will be very disappointed.

Minsk will not be the only favorite player from previous games to return in the third part. Already in recent months, fans have found enough evidence that we should expect a druid as well. Jaheirawhich is also one of the most popular companions. So let’s hope the Larians take this chance so that the two of them have some of the witty exchange we saw in Part 2.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is still in early access. many are still looking forward to the release date of the full version. And that’s exactly what we should expect this month.
