Throughout Baldur's Gate 3, you will spend time with a strange skeleton at camp. He's called Withers, and not much is known about him other than the fact he can respec your class and summon the dead to fight for you. But given his scene at the end of the game and the tomb you find him in, there's clearly more to Withers than meets the eye.
In a breakdown on the Baldur's Gate 3 subreddit, HowdyHangman77 put together all the evidence for Withers being Jergal, the Lord of the End of Everything, a lawful neutral demi deity preceding Bhaal, Bane, and Myrkul, the Dead Three.

"Here's what we know: Withers has a divine aspect (DC20 roll by any paladin); Withers has infinite health (inspect); Withers was buried in a temple of Jergal; Jergal is the Scribe of Souls, and Withers identifies as "a mere scribe"; Withers speaks as if he is ancient; Jergal's power was ceded to the Dead Three, and Withers constantly chastises the Dead Three throughout the story and epilogue; Withers directly opposes Bhaal in the redemptive Durge story after the Durge denies Bhaal; intervening in a divine manner and commenting that he's generally not supposed to intervene so directly; if Tav is a cleric of Kelemvor, Withers comments that you too walk with death [...] Withers exercises divine power over vessels, death, and reclassing".
If that hasn't swayed you, results from data mining might. 'CHA_Crypt_Jergal"'s description reads, "Jergal is emotionless and excessively formal, both resigned to his fate and that of others. He is here to assist the party because that is his divine oath, not out of any true desire to act. Players can attempt to goad or attack him, but to minimal effect, as he is functionally immortal. His only goal was to see their faces, so he can find them at camp later to offer further assistance."
To boot, when the game ends, he stands in front of a painting of the Dead Three and says, "Did thou think the other gods would not notice? Did you think that I would not notice?"
Jergal used to live in the Castle of Bone in the Gray Wastes for thousands of years, but he grew bored of his position and retired, hence how the Three Dead came into power. Evidently, their rule in his stead did not please him, so we get to pal around with a god in our camp as we bring them down. What happens after that is anyone's guess. Maybe Withers will take his spot as a deity back, or perhaps he'll seek out another replacement.

There are a lot of things that Starfield lets you do, even if its detrimental to your own health. You have to live with the consequences of your actions of course, but there are very few things that the game takes completely off the table. One of those things was getting out of your ship whilst you're flying through space, something that the last fifty years of sci-fi movies and video games warns you not to do.
With millions of players having already jumped right into the thick of it with Starfield, it’s hard to deny the fact that a non-insignificant number of them are facing performance issues on powerful PC hardware. When the director Todd Howard was asked about these issues, he responded in a way that some might say was tone-deaf. Notably, he said that Starfield was optimized and that some PC gamers might simply need to upgrade their rigs for it to run properly. A bold statement, to be sure, but one that may also ring hollow following some strange discoveries from the open-source community.
In May this year we reported on the case of 52-year-old Shinobu Yoshida, from Nagoya, Japan, who in what may be a world first was arrested and charged for violating copyright laws, after uploading gameplay clips and other content. The prosecution was led by the Content Overseas Distribution Agency (CODA), which focuses on copyright protection, and Yoshida has now been found guilty.
