Summary
ABaldur’s Gate 3player unintentionally found out that not saving Counsellor Florrick in Act 3 resulted in the character being publicly hanged. InBaldur’s Gate 3, gamers can help Counsellor Florrick from difficult situations, but when they choose not to, the elf faces the worst of punishments.
Counsellor Florrick is an Elf wizard and advisor to the Archduke who players first meet in Act 1. She strives to use her political position to do good, making her one of the mostlawful good characters inBaldur’s Gate 3. If players manage to save her from the burning building in Act 1, Counsellor Florrick appears again in both Acts 2 and 3. In the latter scenario, she is captured in Wyrm’s Rock Prison and desperately needs the players' help to escape, otherwise she will be executed within five in-game days. While saving her is optional, many gamers choose to help Counsellor Florrick and avoid her death. OneBaldur’s Gate 3player chose not to free the elf and learned the weight of this decision the hard way.
Redditor EntireFish1k shared a gameplay screenshot of Counsellor Florrick publicly hanged after not being freed from prison. The player expressed that while they were aware Florrick would be executed, they were not expecting such a horrid display of her body outdoors. At first, they had expected to simply find her dead in her cell, but the outcome made them regret their choice of not helping Counsellor Florrick. This is a tragic ending for one ofBaldur’s Gate 3’s best elf characters.
