The cast of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 was not only tasked with voicing all of the characters, but they also provided extensive motion capture for their scenes. This was a monumental task, considering just how much content is packed into the game. Devora Wilde was the voice and body of Lae\u2019zel, everyone\u2019s favorite Githyanki warrior. In a recent interview with Dexerto production Fall Damage, Wilde was asked to finish her iconic quotes from the game, which resulted in behind-the-scenes information about a certain memorable moment with Shadowheart. \u201cI think this is one of the scenes that we recorded quite early on,\u201d Wilde said, \u201cSo, I don\u2019t remember specifics. But I do remember straddling pillows which were supposed to represent Shadowheart. So, there you go.\u201d While the details of the scene weren\u2019t given, it\u2019s likely that Wilde is referring to a moment that\u2019s exclusive to Shadowheart\u2019s Origin run in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. In the other routes, Lae\u2019zel and Shadowheart will start fighting and settle on a duel. However, Shadowheart gets the upper hand and ambushes Lae\u2019zel at night. If you play as Shadowheart, then the scene is different. Instead, it\u2019s Lae\u2019zel who tries to slit her throat in her sleep, leading to the aforementioned straddling. As in the other runs, it\u2019s possible to resolve the conflict peacefully and for things to go on as they were before. Filming with items as stand-ins is nothing new, especially for projects involving lots of special effects. Emilia Clarke had to manipulate all kinds of weird green puppets and machines while interacting with dragons on Game of Thrones. When it comes to video games, it\u2019s easy to just slot people into place, which is why a piece of bedding half-filmed the deadly fight scene between Lae\u2019zel and Shadowheart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Lae\u2019zel actor had to straddle pillows for Shadowheart scene Larian StudiosThe actor who played Lae\u2019zel in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 has revealed the strange way in which a certain iconic Shadowheart scene was filmed.
