Part 5 – Would You Become a Monster if it Would Save the World?
from Little Monday Presents: Baldur's Gate III and the Queer Politics of Monstrosity. · host Leslie
We finally seek to resolve the central conflict of the game: Will you become a monster if it would save the world? But perhaps more importantly, what does it mean to transform into the very thing you sought to avoid becoming? And what does crossing the boundary into monstrosity reveal of the monster that's protected you since your fall from the Nautiloid? In part five, we take a close look at the game's sudden bifurcation, its controversial endings, and how its central theme is illuminated or darkened.
