The Dead Three make up the primary antagonists of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. Between Orin, Ketheric and Gortash, the gods Bhaal, Bane and Myrkul make lives very tricky for those living on the Sword Coast, especially for Tav and his party. Perhaps the most intimidating of these is Bhaal, god of murder, whose chosen Orin is definitely the least stable of the three. The voice acting in Baldur\u2019s Gate has always been one of it\u2019s strongest selling points; just look at Neil Newbon\u2019s win at the Game Awards 2023 for his portrayal of Astarion. Still, players were shocked to discover that Bhaal\u2019s voice actor is none other than Doug Cockle, voice actor of Geralt in the Witcher games. One player posted about their \u201csudden realisation of who Bhaal\u2019s voice actor actually is\u201d on the Baldur\u2019s Gate subreddit, and was met with a chorus of surprise. While Bhaal isn\u2019t the most talkative of gods, you can have a decent chat with him if you\u2019re playing as a Dark Urge character. Once you defeat Orin in Act 3, he\u2019ll appear to claim you as his rightful chosen and favourite child, putting Doug\u2019s superb voice-acting skills on full display. Beyond the Witcher and Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, Doug has also been busy doing voice work in Payday 3 and Alan Wake 2, where he plays Robert Nightingale<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players discover shocking truth of Bhaal\u2019s voice actor Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players were shocked to discover that the voice actor for Bhaal, one of the Dead Three, is also well-known for his other work in high fantasy games, most notably The Witcher.
