10 Horrifying Video Game Implications We JUST Learned
8. You Can Talk To The Corpse Bed - Baldur's Gate 3
Baldur's Gate 3 features the necromancy spell "Speak with Dead," allowing players to grant temporary life to a dead entity and ask them questions.
And yet, did you know that you can use it in the most unsettlingly unlikely of circumstances?
That's right - you can use the spell not only to speak to individual corpses, but also Orthon Yurgir's infamous corpse bed which is, well, exactly what it sounds like.
Cast Speak with Dead on the bed and you'll trigger a special cutscene in which the "tangle of corpses" - the narrator's words, not ours - answer your questions as one single tortured entity.
Though you can glean some pretty useful information from this chit-chat, it's such a disturbingly unexpected flourish for Larian to include in the game that you might struggle to pay attention to a single damn word they're saying.
All the same, props to the developer for their mind-boggling attention-to-detail throughout. They didn't need to do the thing, but we're (sorta?) glad they did.
