10 Bad Video Game Choices That Are Secretly The Best Option
1. Let Volo Take Your Eye - Baldur's Gate 3
What benefits can a botched lobotomy resulting in the loss of an eye give you? Well, if you're playing Baldur's Gate 3, the answer is the ability to see invisible people!
Yes, early on in the story, while your character is searching for a cure to the tadpole growing in their brain, they can try to seek the solution to their problem with Volo, aka Faerun's most trustworthy historical source (if by trustworthy you mean "willing to say and write anything for fame").
The gossiping bard will propose to perform an impromptu brain surgery on you using an ice pick. Subjecting yourself to the procedure and making it all the way to the end, despite your character's very obvious screams of pain, will result in a permanent loss of an eye.
However, before you can panic or rip Volo a new one, the amateur surgeon will present you with a magical glass eye replacement that allows you to see invisible creatures.
There are no downsides to losing your organic eye, safe for a penalty that lasts only a mere turn, so letting Volo mutilate your face is, surprisingly enough, the best choice you can make here.
