Cut and unimplemented content: Difference between revisions

'''Baldur's Gate 3''' had a long develompent with many features that were cut or reimagined. Most of what you see here is '''not canon'''.

==Removed Content==

There was a lot of content that was removed or reimagined either during [[Early Access]] or somewhere at the other stages of development.

===Act I===

====[[Origins]]====

* [[Helia]] was datamined during [[Early Access]] as a potential origin. Click on the 'Show Content' button to load the page.|{{:Helia}}{{clear}}}}

* [[Minsc]] was supposed to be an origin character available from Act 1 with datamined dialogue in the Druid Grove of tieflings reacting to the [[Boo|Hamster]].

* [[Rurik]] was a [[Dwarf]] [[Rogue]] found outside the [[The Risen Road#Toll_House|Risen Road Toll House]], in [[Early Access]]. He was a member of [[Anders|Anders']] group, hunting [[Karlach]]. He was cut from the final game.

*'''Daisy''': In the [[Early Access]], the [[Dream Visitor]] wore an ornate dress (similar to the [[Elegant Robe]] camp clothing) rather than a set of armour. The Dream Visitor still uses the ornate dress in one of the dreams, likely as a call back.

**The Dream Visitor appears to serve an extremely different role in the Full Release of the game than they have during the Early Access. In the Full Release, the Dream Visitor is named the Dream Guardian, and is much more supportive of the player, regardless of their decisions. They encourage the destruction of the Absolute, while also utilizing the strength of the tadpole. Meanwhile, in the [[Early Access]], the Dream Visitor is more hostile, and grants the player visions of domination and power. It's likely the Dream Visitor was originally a manifestation of the tadpole within the player's mind attempting to break down their will, and successfully transform or enslave them to further the Grand Design under the Absolute; seduce the main character into staying in the meadow by the river with them forever (the song "Down by the River" was a reference to this interaction).

**You can find videos from the Early Access version featuring Daisy, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6b4ov51sFg like this one] or [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LWTytZcsWk this one on YouTube].
