Baldur's Gate 3 has a quest you'll need to find by reading the game's term and conditions.

While it's pretty standard practice for an RPG to have quests coming from all directions, you might expect those tasks to be handed out by stressed-out guards or put-upon peasants, not in the game's EULA, aka, the thing you scroll past and agree to so you can actually play your game. 

As spotted by Reddit user ViviFFIX (via PC Gamer) , as well as all the traditional legal jargon, one section of the End User License Agreement reads "upon accepting this Pact, you take on an additional quest to submit to Larian one (1) recording of a chant, song, text, poem or interpretive dance performed by you and extolling your interest in the Forgotten Realms."

  • A Spectator Eye monster in Baldur's Gate 3 In a post-Baldur's Gate 3 world, I need Larian to hold tight to the D&D chaos that makes Hail Mary moments so satisfying
  • Astarian looking pensive with his hand resting on his chin in Baldur's Gate 3 Baldur's Gate 3 somehow delays Grok update on Twitter, and Larian feels the same way about that as you

"Should you decline to undertake and finish this quest within the first three winters following your acceptance of this Pact, you forfeit subsequent fame, fortune, and/or infamy as a founding member of our Guild of Great Genius. You hereby grant Larian Studios a worldwide, perpetual, and royalty-free license to share such recordings through Larian Studios' social media channels."

Essentially, your mission is to tell Larian how much you like Dungeons & Dragons so they can show it off on Twitter. Exactly how you want to do that is up to you, although I think I'd particularly like to see a homage to the classic tabletop game via the medium of dance.

If you're holding off on Baldur's Gate 3 until the end of its early access, check out some of the other best RPG games you can play right now.

Managing Editor, News

I'm GamesRadar's Managing Editor for news, shaping the news strategy across the team. I started my journalistic career while getting my degree in English Literature at the University of Warwick, where I also worked as Games Editor on the student newspaper, The Boar. Since then, I've run the news sections at PCGamesN and Kotaku UK, and also regularly contributed to PC Gamer. As you might be able to tell, PC is my platform of choice, so you can regularly find me playing League of Legends or Steam's latest indie hit.
