An eagle-eyed Baldur's Gate 3 player has made a hilarious discovery in the credits, hidden away by one of the game's developers. There's lots to discover in the world of Baldur's Gate 3, but this find will elude most who play the game.

One Baldur's Gate 3 player even discovered a hidden tattoo detail after 400 hours of playtime, which shows that even veterans of the game have something new to discover.

Redditor frodo_mintoff found this particular detail and shared it with the Baldur's Gate 3 community online. While in the game's credits, a section appears where developers are able to include a message to their loved ones. This is standard practice in the gaming industry, where individuals get to pay tribute to those who have helped them through a grueling development process, often spanning years. However, one Baldur's Gate 3 developer has taken the chance to include a hilarious line of their own, paying tribute to "Myself for being awesome." That's the entire message - while it's no touching tribute, it's definitely good for a laugh, proving to be one of the best secrets in Baldur's Gate 3.

Gamer Finds Hilarious Message in the Baldur's Gate 3 Credits

One player in the thread claimed they were too busy crying at Baldur's Gate 3's ending to notice this detail. That's certainly valid, and considering it's just one line in the credits, it would be easy to miss, even for those paying full attention. The fact the developer used their one opportunity to leave a message to friends and family to make a funny joke that very few players would ever see is frankly hilarious.

The team at Larian Studios appears to be gearing up for life beyond Baldur's Gate 3. Just recently, Larian opened a new studio in Warsaw to assist with the development of "two very ambitious RPGs," indicating that more than one project is in the works at the developer. It's certainly going to be interesting to see if it can top Baldur's Gate 3, with Larian's latest release setting a new bar for CRPGs going forward.
