Since its release, Baldur’s Gate 3 has gained praise for its execution of D&D systems and the freedom allowed to players in roleplaying. And, like a reluctant DM, the game will warn you if you’re about to do something very silly, before watching you do the very silly thing and then say “I warned you”.
In Act 3, there are some important items required for the main storyline. You’re not supposed to get rid of these and there are some restrictions in place to prevent players from losing one of them, but as BOB_BestOfBugs on YouTube has discovered, that won’t stop a resourceful D&D player.

Act 3 of Baldur’s Gate 3 tasks players with finding the remaining Netherstones for the main quest Confront the Elder Brain. These can be dropped but not thrown, presumbably to prevent players from yeeting one off a cliff and rendering it unusable forever. However, there’s no restrictions on throwing a container holding a Netherstone – which is exactly what BOB_BestOfBugs decided to do.
