Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players discover unlikely candidate for funniest companion Larian StudiosThe Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 community might have finally settled on the funniest companion in the game, and somehow, their name doesn\u2019t rhyme with \u201cBastarion\u201d. Turns out there\u2019s more to comedy than being a sassy vampire. Who knew? While Astarion might have captured the attention and hearts of the vast majority of the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 playerbase, that love (and lust) doesn\u2019t always convert into comedy gold.

Her current resurgence in popularity was prompted by several subreddit threads about some of her voicelines, performed by the incredible Emma Gregory, one of which plays when she passes a perception check on a trap. The voiceline reads: \u201cA trap. Let us send forth our least favourite, to be sure. Many players quickly concluded that she likely means Gale, who she has little to say about in her dialogue with Tav. Wizards simply blow up too easily, so they may as well be used to test for traps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
