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 fully conclude the story through the final quest, Confront the Elder Brain, can be found in Endings.
