I screwed up Karlach's ending in Baldur's Gate 3: I thought I'd picked her best outcome but her actor says 'not very much' of her is actually left

by Joshua Wolens

You know, I was pretty happy with the ending I got in Baldur's Gate 3 in my (so far) only playthrough. Everything seemed to work out pretty well for everyone. But, and spoilers ahead folks, I guess I was wrong... Read more.

Karlach's actor knows about the 3,138 'filthy' Baldur's Gate 3 stories you've written on fanfic sites and still sends all their love to fans for changing their life: 'I don't read it, but I am aware'

by Joshua Wolens

One of the fun things about the eternal, universal furore around Baldur's Gate 3 is that the game's actors clearly love it just as much as the fans do. Dip into the BG3 category on Twitch and your odds are pretty good that one or more of the streamers you find will have voiced a major character or two... Read more.

Larian jumped to improve Karlach's ending in Baldur's Gate 3 right away, with voice actor Samantha Béart saying it was nigh-on immediate: 'As soon as it was out, I got a call'

by Harvey Randall

Update - 25/06/2025: Larian's reached out to confirm that Karlach's ending was, in fact, made in response to the game's playerbase, with Michael Douse additionally clarifying on X that "Karlach's final ending was indeed in response to fan feedback, with conversations starting around August 2023." Presumably late August, given the game's initial release date of August 3... Read more.

Karlach actor was cast in a game "bigger than Baldur's Gate 3," but it got axed

by editor@pcgamesn.com

After two years of social media dominance, iconic memes, and a whole lot of smooching, the sun has finally set on Baldur's Gate 3. With the release of Patch 8, the RPG's swansong update, Faerun and its denizens close their eyes - the Netherbrain is gone, the city is saved, and, if you're me, you're cozying up with Shadowheart on a farm in the countryside. But for Samantha Béart, the actor behind everyone's favorite tiefling, Karlach, the work doesn't stop. After a year of relative silence, they're lending their rich tones to new videogames - Absolum, Fading Echo, and Tron: Catalyst being just some of "at least nine" fresh projects. In many ways, the shadow of Avernus will always linger, but they aren't letting that worry them - in fact, this next year is all about demonstrating their range. Read the rest of the story...

Baldur's Gate 3 Karlach actor Samantha Béart was initially turned down for roles like 'Goblin 49,' but 2 years later they were hired 'within a day' of their audition as 'the muscle mummy we know and love'

by Ted Litchfield

Speaking to actor Samantha Béart about their fan (and PC Gamer)-favorite turn as Karlach in Baldur's Gate 3, I was surprised at how close we were to a different actor portraying the character... Read more.

Leaked footage of "paused" Dungeons & Dragons RPG shows the thing doing a thing with the stuff

by

Some footage from a reportedly cancelled Dungeons and Dragons RPG from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive co-developers Hidden Path Entertainment has surfaced online, alongside concept art. All of it paints a vague picture of a work-in-progress game - which was being assembled under the watchful eye of a Wizards of the Coast that's currently facing a post-Larian Baldur's Gate conundrum - that looked a bit like a bunch of the big fantasy RPGs we've gotten in recent years.

Who the heck is Evelyn? Why a custom Baldur's Gate 3 character with millions of TikTok likes keeps getting confused for an actual NPC

by Harvey Randall

Baldur's Gate 3 has many characters and NPCs to woo and romance, but an alarmingly large section of the internet is obsessed with one that does not, in fact, exist. Meet Evelyn—a modded character who has taken BG3 TikTok by storm. In the span of two short years, Evelyn's had cosplays and fan edits praising her in droves—here's one from last month with over 1.5 million likes and 250,000 bookmarks... Read more.

Post-Larian Wizards of the Coast threatens us with more 'CRPGs that are going to be as serious as BG3'

by Joshua Wolens

Larian is, as you've no doubt heard, done with Baldur's Gate 3. There's no DLC in the pipeline, no sequel around the corner. Swen and co are off to pastures greener, creating something they're all very happy to tantalise us about while giving no details at all. I've decided it's Knights of the Old Republic 3, personally (it is not)... Read more.

Baldur's Gate IP overlords Wizards of the Coast reveal a new Dungeons & Dragons single-player action adventure

by

With Baldur's Gate 3 developer Larian now off doing their own thing and making multiple games that aren't Baldur's Gate 4, BG IP owners Wizards of the Coast have just revealed something that might help fill that void. They've agreed to a publishing deal that'll see relatively new studio Giant Skull create a new game set in the D&D universe. Read more

After Baldur's Gate 3, a new single-player DnD game is officially on the way

by editor@pcgamesn.com

Wizards of the Coast has signed an exclusive publishing agreement with Giant Skull, the studio led by Star Wars Jedi director Stig Asmussen, to create a new Dungeons and Dragons game. The project is set to be a single-player action-adventure game, and sounds like a clear reaction to the immense success of Baldur's Gate 3. Before you start holding out hope for Baldur's Gate 4, though, early signs already point to this being a very different experience. Read the rest of the story...

Ex Dragon Age writer fears publishers will learn "the wrong lessons" from BG3

by editor@pcgamesn.com

It's no secret that Baldur's Gate 3 is among the greatest RPGs ever made. From its sprawling, living world to its cast of lovable yet complex characters, Larian's Dungeons and Dragons epic rightfully deserves its place in the spotlight. In its wake, we've seen a resurgence in narrative-driven RPGs, with Sandfall's Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 being the latest triumph. But with BG3 now being considered the gold standard for RPGs, others will, of course, try to emulate its success. I ask former Dragon Age lead writer David Gaider if that's a good thing.

Wizkids offers full refunds for nightmarish Baldur's Gate 3 miniatures, as they 'did not meet our expectations or that of our Wizards of the Coast partner'

by Harvey Randall

Baldur's Gate 3 received a line of pre-painted miniatures recently, and they've all got faces only a Mindflayer could love. Produced by mini makers Wizkids in partnership with Wizards of the Coast (I'd like to note that, obviously, Larian didn't have much to do with these abominations since Hasbro now owns the rights to those characters) a wave of disappointment swept through customers because—well, just take a look...

There's a unique game over in Baldur's Gate 3 you can only get by rolling 20 on a bunch of Constitution saving throws, then being an absolute dunderhead

by Jody Macgregor

There are a lot of unique game overs in Baldur's Gate 3 you can only discover in extremely specific circumstances. Maybe you fail a Wisdom saving throw and a dying mind flayer eats your brain. Maybe you taunt the god-queen of the githyanki and she wishes you out of existence. (Yes, I learned about those ones the hard way.).. Read more.
