Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s Auntie Ethel has the most brutal class insults Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 is filled with clever insults, and Auntie Ethel saves her most cutting remarks for certain character classes. Since its launch, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 has received nothing but praise for its writing. The poignant storytelling sits at the center of the acclaim, of course, yet even some minor lines of dialogue have garnered applause. Reddit user peparony recently highlighted the mocking comments Auntie Ethel delivers when conversing with specific character classes. \u201cAuntie\u2019s class-specific insults crack me up,\u201d the poster shared on the BG3 subreddit. They noted that Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players who meet Auntie Ethel as a Barbarian will be called \u201cbrainless.\u201d Meanwhile, Paladins can expect the NPC to describe them as a \u201ccrusty old blowhard obsessed with their oath.\u201d Players agree that Auntie Ethel\u2019s cutting remarks count among the game\u2019s most vicious. Given that she\u2019s a Hag who revels in bringing suffering to others, it should come as no surprise. One person in the Reddit thread said of her insults, \u201cEthel\u2019s vicious mockeries are by far the best because they\u2019re PERSONAL.\u201d Some of Ethel\u2019s Origin-specific gibes further drive this point home. For example, the character tells Lae\u2019zel, \u201cDo you miss kissing Vlaakith\u2019s feet, gith?\u201d One cruel remark to Shadowheart reads, \u201cWhy would Shar love you when no one else does?\u201d Auntie Ethel isn\u2019t the only Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 character who dishes out mean-spirited insults, either. During combat, players can hear hundreds of mockery lines, all geared toward getting under an enemy\u2019s skin. One such insult includes, \u201cYour body is a temple\u2026 to an idiot god.\u201d Another popular line that gets thrown around is \u201cIt vexes me to know of you.\u201d And \u201cPernicious, putrifying pissant\u201d serves as another favorite mid-battle gibe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
