Baldur's Gate 3 cast talk deaths and romances 'you might never roll well enough to see'

Baldur’s Gate 3 launched in August to such sensational claim it has already bagged Ultimate Game of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards with more hidden storylines, easter eggs and iconic moments being discovered each day by players. 

The extensive scope of Larian Studio’s new RPG has been classed as the “ultimate D&D experience” with countless opportunities hinging on the dice rolls meaning few will be able to see the game from every possible angle. 

However, the cast of extraordinary voice actors behind the game have already been through every possible scenario and shed some light on the lesser-known sides of the game during an extensive panel at MCM London Comic Con. 

When asked about easter eggs in the game, Amelia Tyler, who voices the narrator and undoubtedly has the most overarching view of the Forgotten Realms, teased the audience: “There are deaths to people you just might not roll well enough to see.” 

As the crowd went wild, she continued, explaining that she couldn’t quite choose a favorite companion, let alone a standout easter egg: “I’ve narrated literally every iteration of every choice you could possibly make so I know each one of these characters as a lover, as an enemy, as a best friend.

“All I can say is that it’s an excellent reflection of what it is to know a person in real life. They are all those things simultaneously.”

However, Neil Newbon (Astarion) directly confronted the request saying the easter eggs “are not important”. 

He shared: “It’s more like what you want to do in the game because of how wide the sandbox is. 

“It’s more about what was your experience. It’s not really about that, yes there’s lots of stuff in there if you take certain actions but ultimately it’s how the player sees the story, what is your choice and that’s what is right for you.”

But not everyone on the cast shared Neil’s ideals, as Tim Downie (Gale) proudly declared exactly who he believes would be the “perfect romance option” for the beloved wizard he plays. 

Tim said: “Well it’s Tara without a doubt!” referring to the owlcat who appears on rooftops selling magical items and has been almost lifelong friends with Gale. 

The actor explained, getting more exasperated on behalf of the tired wizard: “That’s his goal, he just wants to go home and read a book by a fire!”
