Making of - Baldur's Gate 3 [Behind the Scenes]

Interview with the voice actors and developers of Baldur's Gate III at Larian Studios.

[gabrielcaro]

From Lady Dimitrescu to Orin the Red! Maggie Robertson is building such an impressive portfolio of work.

[Saintwolvinn]

I hope Larian never trades their individuality and creative freedom for corporate bs. As long as studios like them exist, people like me will fork over the money. It feels good to own the game and support them. I know a lot of players feel the same.

motion capture: 10/10
voice acting: 11/10

Ketheric had one of the most impressive voices I've ever heard in a video game. It feels, believable. A devote, religiously radical old solider. Never actually been knocked back by a voice in a video game. The whole character around the voice is the perfect combination.

[nickllama]

Imagine you're a suit at Wizards of the Coast, and this Belgian development house comes up to you and says "We want to license Baldur's Gate 3" and you say no, but your fellow suits are convinced and they agree.

7 years later, BG3 comes out as the greatest RPG of all time and the best ranked PC game of all time. How would you feel?

[Lluerbmet]

The fact that they hit every point from the community update #1 over 4 years ago should be a shining badge of honor for them. I watched it after release and it could have still worked for the full game, not just early access.

[rochelimit]

The voice artists in this game deserves Oscar each of them

[sandwich]

When the director of a game, suits up and let's the child inside him come out and have fun you know you will get an amazing and passionate game. This is just so rare in the corporate gaming world. Off my hat to Larian studios I truly love you. I am replaying the game the 4-th time.

[Milena-ixmq]

What I love the most about this game is the tremendous attention to detail and the freedom of choice the player can have.
The music scores are so good, sometimes I stop mid-play, just to listen

[ericmats]

To everyone at Larian studios. Thank you

[joshnizzle]

Best game of the last decade hands down. Larian are top notch devs.

[caseyh]

Don't think I've ever come across a development team that has paid so much attention to what the player wants and thinks. Awesome

[druig_ru]

Can't wait to get this on the PS5. Devs worth supporting.

Update: I currently 20 hours in. The game is a masterpiece (so far). No game has captured my attention like this since The Witcher 3.

Update (2): Finished. Definitely my game of the year.

[myrrhs]

He looks so happy just talking about the game. I love that excitement and just pure joy at what he's creating. I hope to god they don't go the blizzard path of evil.

[Weirduniverse]

Larian has achieved something that can hardly be believed. BG3 is a legitamate canditate for the greatest video game ever made.

[melisse]

Ketherics Voice, JK Simmons, is very underrated. Such a deep rich Tone, i loved listening to him.

[gajogrande]

140 hours in. Almost at the end of it. Missed so much content.
What a legendary game.

[vivifan]

I’m so excited about Maggie doing this role! She puts all of herself into her characters and just brings them to life! I can’t wait for the streamily signing for this game!

[sub-jec-tiv]

I freakin love this game. Great cast. Having a blast playing it.

[immatoll]

I hope the company will never get bought by one of the big ones. Larian reminds me on the good old times when Bioware and Blizzard North had a (gaming) soul. You barely see non-indie game devs that are not affraid to do things differently. I barely enjoy singleplayer games nowadays for more than a couple of hours. But damn was BG3 just a joy. Can't remember the last time i felt like a kid in a game and just want to discover stuff on my own. Do not really know what it was but the game catched me so hard on different ways and I really thank Larian for that experience.
