Easter Egg Will Challenge to Discover Baldur's Gate 3
Although a cautious player might easily identify these links in retrospect, doing so with Baldur's Gate 3's Easter Egg before the game's reveal could prove to be more challenging. Baldur's Gate 3 has loads of information and dangling threads; not every idea is always developed on or resolved. Finding which concept would really fit Larian's subsequent game may be like looking for a needle in a haystack; extrapolating a knowledge of what the next game would look like could be even more challenging.
In the instance of the Divinity: Original Sin 2 teasers, it was conceivable to link a few ideas together; but, this might not be the case this time. Swen only mentions one Easter egg, hence although it is not unlikely that other writers incorporated their own hints that he is ignorant of, it is preferable to assume for the time being that it is only a single hint. That may be anywhere on a journey spanning Baldur's Gate 3 and might not even be something that would arise in a regular campaign.
Confirmed a BG3 Easter Egg by Larian Studios CEO Swen Vincke
Reddit user truebma reports that the material about teasers inside Baldur's Gate 3 comes from a Future Games Show interview with Larian Studios CEO Swen Vincke, accessible on the official FGS YouTube channel. Regarding hidden Easter eggs in the game, Vincke says one of the writers mentioned the Next Game. This presents an interesting problem for the organization since, should this be found out, he is unaware of it.
"One of the authors informed me that she included anything on our Next Game. The fascinating thing is that we followed the same approach with DOS 2 — Divinity: Original Sin 2 — with BG3 allusions. Nobody turned around to find them. At least not what I know of. I'm not sure whether anyone discovered the one referencing our next game in there." - Swen Vincke
Larian's Game of Next Action
At least one clue to the next project Larian Studios plans to follow up Baldur's Gate 3 with already seems to be within reach, but there is very little information on it. Larian is choosing a new path while the studio is working on multiple titles unrelated to the Dungeons & Dragons license, even though the prospect for a fourth Baldur's Gate game or DLC is clear-cut. That surely won't stop conjecture about what might be next, even if it may still be some time yet before they are announced.
From hints toward popular culture as a whole to connections to past Larian games, Baldur's Gate 3 is a game loaded with Hidden Secrets and Easter eggs. Generally speaking, the game's approach toward its allusions is modest; it emphasizes keeping convincing writing and a believable setting rather than throwing things aside to obtain points based on familiarity or cheap humor. Though this is not something the majority of the community has been waiting for till now, some Easter eggs would be used to tease next initiatives.
Possibly Finding Baldur's Gate 3's Easter Egg
Having saying that, someone with the right intuition could still be able to foretell events. One tool that might be helpful in studying Baldur's Gate 3 is thorough DnD knowledge since many of the little bits of data strewn about the game are known features of the Forgotten Realms mythology. Though there is still much to investigate, being able to reduce potential hints to items that did not already exist in the DnD universe surely sharpens the hunt.
Given how long Baldur's Gate 3 may have been working on concepts that might have been thrown in, it is also interesting to consider when this Easter egg would have been placed on the site. Vincke said before that Larian Studios had started working on DLC for the game before quitting it around the holidays, with shifting towards new projects seeing as the more exciting alternative to keep things fresh and preserve morale.
About the references to Baldur's Gate in Divinity: Original Sin 2
Though they are not teases anybody would have been likely to detect before the release of the newer game, several fans of the games have found obvious links. Dr. Slash's YouTube remark features some possible teasers, all of which relate to the mind flayer narrative producing the party's infection with parasite tadpoles. These allusions to "the Grand Design" seem to be prototypes for key features of Baldur's Gate 3, while references to enigmatic tentacled creatures set a story.
While it is easy enough for a cautious player to see these links in retrospect, doing so with Baldur's Gate 3's Easter egg before the disclosure of the next game might prove to be more challenging. Baldur's Gate 3 offers loads of information and dangling threads; not every idea is always developed on or addressed. Finding which concept might really relate to Larian's future game could be like looking for a needle in a haystack; extrapolating a knowledge of what the next game would look like could be even more challenging.
