[QUOTE="Admin, post: 60063, member: 1"] Developer Larian is known for having a bit of fun with the End-User License Agreements for its games, and Baldur’s Gate 3 is no exception. Baldur’s Gate 3 launched proper yesterday and those who bothered to read its EULA will have noticed section five: “Additional obligations in Eldritch Law.” “Time for a pause, as We understand by now your mind is longing for respite having endured the above numerous provisions of legal jargon,” the EULA reads. “So, setting aside the weighty tomes of sombre legality, embracing a lighter path of ancient customs and mystical decrees that governed the fair folk, please be wary that in accepting this Pact, you agree to refrain from striking a deal with another creature of Fey, Infernal, or otherwise Eldritch origin. Should you nonetheless not be able to withstand the seductive melody whispered by their malevolent terms, We reserve the right to sever all ties professional or social with the end user, and seek appropriate remedy from the Morninglord.” [URL='https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2023/08/04/bg3-eula-1691162196513.jpg'][IMG]https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2023/08/04/bg3-eula-1691162196513.jpg[/IMG][/URL] It’s a nice nod to Baldur’s Gate 3’s Dungeons & Dragons setting, and in-keeping with Larian’s willingness to have a laugh with its fans.
