Baldur’s Gate 3’sfifth major patch has given the landmark RPG new epilogue scenes, and one seems to have cast the game’s composer as the literal God of Song.
Twitter user Potatooie spotted the potential reference, posting screenshots of a character called Milil who shows up to entertain your party with song and dance in the new epilogue scenes. As Potatooie notes, the musician looks awfully similar to Borislav Slavov, the composer and musical director behind Baldur’s Gate 3.
Dig a little deeper into D&D lore and you’ll spot that the setting’s God of Song is, probably not coincidentally, also called Milil. According to the Forgotten RealmsWiki, the character stands for “song, poetry, eloquence, creativity, and inspiration.”
It continues to explain that he “represented the whole song rather than just one part, such as the music or lyrics, not just the finished thought, but the whole process that took an idea from its conception to its completion.” With the game’s early access roots in mind, Milil’s inclusion is a heart-warming and cyclical way to send off a beloved game.
There’s no confirmation about whether Milli was actually modeled after Slavov, but this wouldn’t be the first time that developer Larian left information out of its patch notes. Earlier today, players began to discover an unannounced change that came with the newest patch:penis physics. Just goes to show that anything is possible in the Baldur’s Gate 3 realm.
Elsewhere, the patch inserted Bing Bong, an imp created during the cast’s own D&D sessions, into Baldur’s Gate 3 canon.
