Baldur’s Gate 3 players discuss key NPC they dislike the most

The discussion surrounding this topic was started by a Reddit user simdaisies. The player claimed, “I’m not talking about the companions or obvious characters that you’re supposed to hate.” They continued, “I was thinking in my current playthrough how much I disliked Arron, the vendor in the Emerald Grove, always with his “gentle reminders” that others are in need too. No shit, buddy but who else is out there risking their entire a** to save all of you?”

Other players joined the conversation as they also had NPCs they disliked. One such user commented, “Perhaps the Duke? He’s unnecessarily cold towards Wyll even though he has risked his life saving him from the Iron Throne. It took the tadpole for the Duke to finally apologize to Wyll. “

The Duke received a ton of hate in the comments, with over 1,000 players agreeing with the fan claiming he was “cold” and pretty horrible to Wyll. Others explained: “I understand where you’re coming from about Ravenguard,” while another explained why their hate for the character was so irrational, highlighting how “after rescuing him he’s supposed to give you the fairytale book about the Wyrm, but he just kept it and I needed to pick pocket it and then pass a persuasion check when he realized it was stolen. I know it’s a bug but still, dude”

While the Duke wasn’t the only NPC to get hate, it’s clear many fans feel more protective of Wyll than his father, and hate to see their favorite Warlock being shut down by the very man he was trying to save.

It’s safe to claim everyone has someone they dislike in the game, but a few key characters seem to frustrate fans more than others. However, this is also a charm of the game where the NPCs have enough depth that you develop love and hate towards them.
