Baldur’s Gate 3 fans have noticed one small detail about the Dream Visitor that gave an early clue to their true nature.
Many fans who’ve played Baldur’s Gate 3 will remember the game throws players right into the action, crashing a giant nautiloid ship and free-falling onto a deserted beach.
However, Larian Studios quickly introduced a guiding hand of sorts during the early hours of Act 1 through the Dream Visitor or Guardian.
While many players initially view this character as a source of comfort, some eagle-eyed players have noticed one detail that gives a hint towards the Dream Visitor’s true nature very early on.
Baldur’s Gate 3 fans spot important Dream Visitor detail
A post on the Baldur’s Gate 3 subreddit highlighted the detail in a thread titled, “Is it just me or did anyone else notice this too?”
The OP explained, “I’ve recently started a new play through and had my first encounter with the Dream Visitor… I’ve done a couple play throughs and how am I just now noticing that Gale is the only one who calls the visitor a ‘she.’ Everyone else just says ‘the dream visitor’ or ‘they.'”

They then asked the community if they were the only ones who spotted this tiny detail, with some other fans picking up on it as well.
“Yeah they look different for each character,” noted one fan. “Gale’s is female and Karlach sees them as ‘The golden paladin.'”
Another player said, “They also behave differently for each companion based on the companion’s personality. Lae’zel, for example, mentions that her dream visitor showers her with admiration and adoration.”
Those players who’ve reached Act 3 know exactly why this hint is a big deal, as the Emperor finally drops its ‘Dream Visitor’ mask once the final act begins to take off.
The Emperor also outright confirms they change their appearance to better gain your trust during a certain bit of dialogue. Impressively, it was all subtly foreshadowed at the very beginning of the adventure.
