In an interview with IGN, Larian Studios head Swen Vincke reveals that one of Baldur's Gate 3's biggest villains was once a recruitable companion early in development.

Baldur’s Gate 3 players have gotten really silly with mods since the game came out, including creating a number of mods that allow otherwise unplayable characters to join the party. But according to Larian Studios head Swen Vincke, a number of those characters may have been considered for inclusion as companions early in development, including one particular villain.
