Shadowheart: Should we bury the hatchet, Laezel? Laezel: Why would we bury a weapon? Shadowheart: I... nevermind. Laezel: If you want to dig, I'll find you a shovel. I love these two.

[@chrissypendergrass9613]

I'm wondering if the fact she has two broken arms and used the term "humorous" was intended to be a humerus pun in itself 😮

[@WolframHeart-xp2px]

But the humerus is the bone in the arm, not the forearm. She has her forearms broken, yes?

[@phoenixofthechorus]

@@WolframHeart-xp2px I mean, she IS a Gith, her humeri may very well be in the forearm.

Never have I seen a group of fans for a video game give so much love and attention to the main voice actors from that game. I'm glad to see them all get credit for bringing these characters to life.

[@jayjayhohoho]

Maybe last time is GTA V and Overwatch 1？

[@SuperShanook]

This is quite literally exactly how I experienced this frog. I fought it once thinking it would be easy, I was demolished. Torn asunder. Utterly crushed. I came back the next day and I happened to have used a potion of animal speaking. The frog has been my dear friend ever since

[@asriusdoesart]

I know these are from before the games release but I am *begging* for there to be more of these. This group has such a good dynamic and it really needs to be explored in more humorous situations like this- especially with how well the animators make everything look, and the voice actors make it all come together

[@sharlayanarchon]

OMG I love these so much! Astarion hacking the frog to death will never stop being funny as hell!

[@aramis4347]

You love blood, don't you?

[@trumediamix1]

_Astarion stabs the frog relentlessly on the very first turn!_ *He hesitates for a moment to see that the party is mortified by his actions...* _He continues to stab the frog relentlessly anyways, fuck it! Lol!!!_

[@WolframHeart-xp2px]

So, they needed the frog for something? Also quite the life that ftog had. Multiple stabs and still alive only after more stabs did it die. Also the team tried to stop him.

[@MorglortheMangler]

The voice actors in this video were awesome and they fit each character perfectly. Also I didn’t see Karlach anywhere did she get lost or passed out drunk in a tavern?

[@danzansandeev6033]

It’s an old animation, and karlach wasn’t in the early access as full companion

[@Floweramon]

Probably wherever Wyll and Lae'zel were in the other video XD

[@drsipp407]

Wyll has no horns… so I’m assuming they killed karlach 😢

​@@danzansandeev6033this. It's an animation from back in early access, and karlach didn't exist as a companion in early access

[@wolviller111]

Might be they fit perfectly, because those ARE the actual VA's.

[@Karomix3]

Astarion had the right approach, kill it while it's weak. XD

[@RICH1FLOYD]

I absolutely love Lae’zel’s look in this animation.

[@rikimarizard]

Ah man now I want an animated Baldur’s Gate show in exactly this style with these companions and their amazing VAs

[@IN-tm8mw]

@@Ziaotic DND/D&D is legendary for creating all the well known staples and tropes for RPG games as they are today. Its culture is also very popular in JRPGs which have gained tons of traction in the last 26 years. So even if you don't play DND titles, mostly all games today have evolved because of it. So for me, its crystal clear what's driving the hype.

[@JageshemashFTW]

The best part is I totally believe that Lae’zel is considered the Githyanki equivalent of a funny person.

[@Rathdrgnknight]

Chaos Gremlin Astarion here is even better after watching Neil Newbon play the game.

[@WoozyGod]

I don't know what I want more - BG full animated series or BG3 DLC. I wish we get both ❤❤

[@trumediamix1]

I'd go for DLC, so long as the content provided can entice the attention needed to sell itself and help pay the people who spend time making this stuff. In all fairness, DLC is entitled to a price tag for the sake of helping develop pay the bills and such.

[@dCa991]

Lae’zel just chilling with two broken arms is hilarious for literally no reason

@@Sac-chan Before you kill the hag, the frog is quite mentally unstable, and if you question him too much to long he attacks you. And he is surprisingly a strong foe (not like the hag, but you usually are prepared before facing her. This was quite unexpected)

[@TheMeta141]

Baldur's Gate 3 is going to win GOTY not because it's an amazing game, but because of the love and dedication of those behind it, most can't even get actors to voice the characters they play for a big budget production. and here the voices of BG3 are on youtube.

The version you saw is still available on larian's KZbin channel with a couple of differences. There is no "long long ago" as when it came out originally, it was still in early access. The frog body at the end also isn't blurred in the original.
