has a hefty amount of unused content, from items and lines of dialogue to an entire dungeon. Since it's confirmed that there won't be any DLC for that could add some of this content, it will forever remain unused. Unfortunately, this is common in game development, and there's almost always content that might've made the end product way different but ended up being cut from the final version.
10 Hidden Baldur's Gate 3 Letters That Add More Context To The Story

likes to hide content in the nooks and crannies of its levels, leaving plenty of small details left unnoticed by Tav and their companions. Not even exploring every location is enough to reveal the wealth of secrets hidden in Faerûn. Since there are so many letters, books, and notes scattered throughout all three acts, it's easy to miss rare hidden letters that add more context to the story.
[Warning: The following article contains spoilers for Baldur's Gate 3.]
There's an overwhelming amount of items that can be read in, from letters and notes to books and journals. And since a lot of these items tend to contain information that's not necessarily useful for quests or giving additional background for main characters, it's easy to stop reading them or start skimming through the text. However, that results in Tav and their group missing out on context, which adds more depth to the story of certain characters, or the narrative as a whole.
This letter wasn't available when came out of Early Access, so a Dark Urge that hasn't gone through to the end of the game since the epilogue and its chest of letters has been added wouldn't have seen it. The requirements for this letter to appear in the chest at all also means that the party needs to plan ahead in order to see it. Specifically, the Dark Urge needs to save Alfira instead of killing her in Act 1.
To do this, the Dark Urge has to knock out Alfira in the Grove before she arrives at the party's campsite. Then, in her letter, she mentions that she saw the murderous intent in the Dark Urge's eyes when they first met and that she heard what they overcame. She thanks the Dark Urge for sparing her life, and she promises to make the most of their mercy.
Like Alfira’s letter mentioned above, it's possible to receive a letter from Auntie Ethel in the epilogue. However, this letter isn't unique to the Dark Urge. It simply depends on the choices Tav makes throughout the game regarding Auntie Ethel, such as letting her continue doing hag business instead of fighting her in Act 1 and later helping her in Act 3 by killing the mother of the child she's turning into a new hag.
Because the choices required to receive this letter are rather unpopular options, it's rare to find it in the chest during the epilogue. While this route leads to Auntie Ethel helping the party during the final battle as part of the “” quest, it requires the party to give up their chance to grab the legendary weapon, Duellist’s Prerogative. As for the letter’s content, it reveals that Auntie Ethel greatly regrets not getting closer to Tav in an intimate sense.
This letter is found in the bedroom at the back of Bhaal’s temple, which Orin uses after ambushing her sibling Bhaalspawn and taking

Baldur's Gate 3 Fan Makes One Of The Best Attacks Even Stronger
may offer players an assortment of abilities and tools to destroy their enemies but a Rogue skill is easily one of the best in the game and one dedicated fan just made it even stronger.

It's remarkably simple to set up and while it's already an extremely potent way to dish out pain, a new mod has made it even better.

That includes the sight of Hyrule as it still shows signs of destruction from Calamity Ganon's reign of terror, but there are finally areas where Link sees a few buildings being rebuilt, and in some cases, he even helps reconstruct them with his new arm's abilities. However, it's both interesting and important to note that all these new buildings are being made out of wood instead of stone.

Baldur’s Gate 3 studio will likely bring their next game to early access again, but admit it’s not for every dev
It’s odd to think back on a time before Baldur’s Gate 3 - and even stranger to think that the sprawling Dungeons & Dragons RPG was actually kicking around for a long while before its 1.0 release blew up awards shows, social media feeds and fan-fiction hubs last summer. Putting the game out into early access at the end of 2020 - multiple years before it was ready for a full release - worked out very well for Larian though, so it’s maybe no surprise that they plan to do exactly the same with whatever comes next.
