Larian Studios' breakout hit Baldur's Gate 3 was actually teased years before the public knew of its existence in the developer's very own, previous game, Divinity Original Sin 2. But the Easter Egg's initial version was so obvious, it had to be watered down, according to the devs.

Larian CEO and Baldur's Gate 3 director Swen Vincke shed light on the tease via a recent studio livestream, when lightly nudged toward the topic by communications developer Aoife Wilson, who brought up the Divinity Original Sin 2 necromancer that mentions going to "another world."
