Building on the strategies shown off at AGDQ, the runner brought BG3's all-acts world record under 20 minutes before zipping through the megahard permadeath Honour mode in 21:17 for another world record the very next day...

Baldur's Gate 3 lets you go full-tilt evil, as I've been discovering in my Dark Urge honour mode rampage—but there's evil that's coded into the game's narrative, and then there's emergent evil. Well, I say 'evil', but I'm not even sure this counts. Two out of three people involved had it coming in some way, though before I can dig my claws into this messed-up turducken: Major spoilers for Act 3 incoming. ..
