Christmas music, as a genre, is full of earworms (I caught Slade stuck in my own head right now), but the makers of Baldur’s Gate 3 have taken a step further with brainworms. Larian Studios today gave up the surprise Christmas gift from Tadpole For You, Tadpole For Me – a festive song about being infested by Mind Flayer parasites. And yes, you become a singer on your own. After all, Christiiaaaas of iiiiiiiiiiiiitt. Ah, damn it.
Baldur’s Gate 3 would be a very different game if our characters were so excited about their own Mind Flayer tadpoles. It makes you wonder if it should go with the flow. Sounds a lot of fun, really. What is the worst thing that could happen?
The fantasy RPG went into early access this year, with a full launch in 2021. Our review of Baldur’s Gate 3 early access was much liked about it, though Matthew Castle thought he might rather wait until it was complete and ready. I lie down alone.
Disclosure: Our former Adam (RPS alone) is now working for Larian as a writer. If we create a song, maybe it will come back to us?
