=== Act One ===
=== Helia ===
==== Origins ====
{{main|Helia}}
{{see also|Origins}}
[[Helia]] was datamined during Early Access as a potential origin. Little is known about her, as she has never been officially conformed, but she reportedly was intended to be a werewolf [[bard]].{{verify}}

* [[Minsc]] may have at some point been intended to be an origin character available as early as Act One, with datamined dialogue in the Druid Grove of tieflings reacting to the [[Boo|Hlhamster]].


====NPCs====
=== Rurik ===
* [[Rurik]] was a [[dwarf]] with the [[rogue]] class found outside the [[The Risen Road#Toll_House|Risen Road Toll House]], in Early Access. He was a member of [[Anders|Anders']] group, hunting the origin character [[Karlach]]. Unlike Karlach, he was cut from the final game.

===== Daisy =====
=== Cut items ===
* {{RarityItem|The Blade of Frontiers' Eye}} - was [[Wyll]]'s starting eye item. During Early Access, the eyes were an equippable item along with {{RarityItem|Volo's Ersatz Eye}}.
 
=== The world map ===
In Early Access, when you reached the Mountain Pass crossing, you were sent to the Overworld menu with the worldmap letting you click on icons of previously discovered locations akin to ''Baldur's Gate'' and ''Baldur's Gate II''. The map for the final version [[:File:BG3 Map.webp|still exists]], albeit only as a Digital Deluxe bonus image and isn't actually in the game.

== Redesigned content ==
A significant amount of content was changed during development.
=== Minsc ===
[[Minsc]] may have at some point been intended to be an origin character available as early as Act One, with datamined dialogue in the Druid Grove of tieflings reacting to the [[Boo|hamster]].{{verify}}
 
=== Daisy ===
In Early Access, the [[Dream Guardian]] was known as the ''Dream Visitor'', and was portrayed differently than in the full release, wearing ornate dress similar to the [[Elegant Robe]] camp clothing rather than a set of armour.{{note|The Dream Visitor still uses the ornate dress in one of the dreams, likely as a callback.}}

===Act II===
=== Nightsong ===
{{SpoilerBoxLite|
{{main|Aylin/Cut content}}
* The [[Aylin/Cut content|Nightsong]] was completely different as well as the entire Act 2. Click on the 'Show Content' button to load the page.|{{:Aylin/Cut content}}{{clear}}}}
The Nightsong plot apparently had significant differences during early development from what appears in the full game.
* [[Isobel]] was supposed to have been killed by [[Balthazar]], and Aylin was framed for her murder. Ketheric turned Aylin into Nightsong as an act of revenge. A century later, Ketheric tasked Balthazar with bringing Isobel back. This ritual also bound Isobel's life to Ketheric, sharing his immortality with her. If Ketheric was killed before unthethering Isobel from him, they would both go to the afterlife.

==Cut or redesiged features ==
=== Illithid powers ===
===Illithid Powers===
In Early Access, illithid powers were much simpler. Instead of consuming other tadpoles to gain points to spend on powers, your tadpole grew more powerful as you used Illithid Persuasion options in dialogue. Once you'd used Illithid Persuasion three times, a special cutscene was triggered during your next long rest and each character gained a single illithid power unique to their class. Some of these abilities were reworked into the current illithid powers. A full list of Early Access powers can be seen below:
