Summary
[You don't need to know Baldur's Gate 3 to enjoy this. In fact, it might read even better if you don't. But: It contains spoilers the way tea contains liquid.]
This story began with a question: What if this (BG3 plot) happened to someone with a normal life, a job to go to, and no heroic destiny or outstanding skills? The main character, a female 28-year-old human, seems to be the only one infected with an alien larva set to overwrite her mind and body within days. Driving her desperate quest to find a cure amidst battling memory loss and brain damage - and doing it alone, except for one friend - she starts to subtly change her thought process and adapt. Instead of game's original companions, she's accompanied by characters inspired by individuals and organizations from my real life. If you recognize yourself here: take it as a compliment. I wrote this story because while playing I went through a storm of emotions and needed to put that into words. (Yes, it gets a bit emotional at times). Some of the game's side characters also make appearances, particularly those whom I found morally complex, unexpectedly likeable, or essential to story. Some are examined in depth, because their actions gave me no peace for months.
