I have yet to be mutilated in any way (aside from snorting tadpoles like it's going out of style :P). Perhaps, making deals with malevolent fey and letting Volo of all people perform surgery are... questionable choices for your health. :P
Never hit that Leave option as quickly as I did when I heard what Volo was offering me.
You get a prosthetic that gives you permanent See Invisbility which is kinda fucking cool.
oh didn't know that...well might consider this then^^
Just prepare for some extremely.. Gruesome, animations
Well yeah, but how do you resist the temptation to find out just how bad it is?
As someone who is squamish about eye-stuff, act 1 is not exactly my happy place
Considering the number of high level spellcasters bumming around Faerun, I feel like it shouldn't be that hard for a sufficiently wealthy character to fix the one Volo mutilated. Wait time for an appointment would be the biggest issue, since there are surely more rich people trying to hire advanced clerics than they have spell slots. If your character survives the game, I think you can assume they get it fixed eventually.
The hag-eye is probably hag-eyed forever, barring wishes. I assume all the less extreme methods of fixing it would result in the replacement becoming hag-eyed as well.
I don't want to just fix it. I want to find the Eye of Vecna and use that.
Interesting! I saw on the wiki that if you take Ethel's deal first, you can't get Volo's procedure. I assumed it would be the same in reverse!
I did volo first, then the hag told me I wasn't an option so shadowheart took her punishment
Did he really have to pull back? I nearly jumped out my skin when he raised his hand.
Speaking of the PC's eyes... I'm kinda upset I couldn't change my eye color at character creation. IDK if I missed it or it just wasn't an option for my race (dragonborn). They look cool being flames, but they're blue and I'd rather them be gold or green.
I was just about to ask this question!
What happens? Does the game actually accommodate for being blind? Or does it just carry on like nothing has happened.
Without a particular item... would you character actually be blind!? Is that a scenario that's possible? And if so, does anyone know what happens? Do you get a debuff? is it just cosmetic if at all?
Since you're asking, here's your answer. If someone don't want the spoiler don't click it.

f you go through with Volo's eye "surgery", your right eye gets replaced (after a rather comically gruesome scene) with a blue-green human eye. In early access this gave you a debuff to one stat and a buff to Charisma. They changed this though so now (as far as I know) there is no debuff, but it gives you the ability to permanently see invisible up to 9 metres away.
Wait so losing your eye is a legit buff?
As far as I can tell, yes.
Something to do in my 2nd playthrough then. I'm already in Act3 for my first and Volo's left.
Aww I thought we got to keep him. I like the man.
I still have him but he's in my camp, I've never used him as a character.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is a story-rich, party-based RPG set in the universe of Dungeons & Dragons, where your choices shape a tale of fellowship and betrayal, survival and sacrifice, and the lure of absolute power. (Website)
