+==Overview==
 Before reaching the narrative ending of ''Baldur's Gate 3'', players can possibly encounter a Game Over screen as the result of a conversation option or failed condition during a combat encounter. Reaching a Game Over will not offer scenes or conversations that conclude the overall story of the campaign, but will instead cause a screen to appear that prompts the player to reload from a prior save.
-Narrative endings that conclude the story through the final quest, [[Confront the Elder Brain]], can be found in [[Endings]].
