Being a hero in Baldur's Gate 3 can feel pretty rewarding, as the people you aid are generally grateful for your help and give you something in return for it.

Well, that is, until you come across Mayrina. That's when indulging your "dark urges" suddenly feels like a much better alternative.

Mayrina is a young pregnant woman who is trapped inside the hag's house in the first act of the game.

The more chivalrous players may feel inclined to rescue Mayrina, and while you certainly can, you shouldn't expect her to act as thankful as your typical NPC in peril.

When you slay the hag and help Mayrina out of her cage, instead of a reward or a simple thank you, the girl lashes out at you angrily for ruining her deal with her captor.

It turns out Mayrina wanted to give away her baby to the hag in exchange for bringing her dead husband back.

Despite the fact that the hag was trying to kill her and that the two of you are surrounded by living evidence of her treachery, like the wand she intended to use to bring Mayrina's husband "back" as a zombie, Mayrina will refuse to listen to reason and act as if you've ruined her life.

Yeah, you know what? The hag can have her...
