‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ can be a fantastic experience and a bad game at the same time.

I know of three instant game end dialogue options. One with Astarion, one with Volo, and one in the House of Hope. I think there might be a few more as well.

There's also one with Mystra I think.

There's also one in the githyanki creche. If you aren't nice to >!Vlaakith, she casts wish on you and kills your entire party instantly!<

There's also one at the end of act 2, if you have Gale with you.

Oh yeah, I've heard of that one as well!

If you’re counting the one with astarion that I’m thinking of, then I think the one at the very beginning after truly starting act 1 with the mind flayer could count

Can that one instakill you? I suppose I've not seen that one!

EXTREMELY EARLY ACT 1 SPOILER

spoiler

it's when the ship crashes and you find the dying mind flayer in the wreckage. he will attempt to control your parasite and make you give yourself unto him and if you fail the checks to stop it, he'll eat your brain and if you don't have any other party members then it'll game over

That makes sense. I guess I've just never failed that encounter

After that combat encounter I just shoot him from a distance. Free exp!

Good to know. I did not encounter any, unless Volo's can turn badly, and then I chose wisely
