As one player pointed out, your recruitable companions range from being in their early 20s to being centuries old \u2014 much to many players\u2019 surprise. Figuring out the age ranges of your companions in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 can get a tad confusing once you factor in things like Elf physiology and characters being petrified for a century. Thankfully, a TikToker going by unchainedatom has broken it down for their fellow players. Unchainedatom\u2019s two-part explanation has truly taken Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players aback. Some companions have barely left adolescence while others are practically ancient. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player stuns fans by explaining companion ages Prior to spending a decade fighting in the blood war, Karlach worked as a bodyguard for Gortesh. While you can\u2019t imagine he\u2019d be especially opposed to child labour, Karlach would have to be mature enough to hold her own \u2014 meaning she\u2019d be in her mid to late twenties by the start of the game. Wyll and Lae\u2019zel are the two youngest members of the party in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. While The Blade of the Frontiers has already lost an eye and acquired some gnarly scars, he\u2019s pretty young at 24 years old. As one commenter pointed out, this means the Warlock has endured a massive amount of hardship in his life already. \u201cHe should be at [the] club,\u201d one player said. Lae\u2019zel is around 20 years of age, a revelation which prompted some players to speculate that her youthful naivety is why her character is so single minded. Both Minsc and Jaheira were present for the events of the previous Baldur\u2019s Gate games. Given they took place centuries prior, they\u2019re both hundreds of years old. Minthara is apparently also around 200 years old. It\u2019s by no means uncommon to see an Elf who has racked up a couple of centuries of life experience. After all, members of the race can live up to 750 years old. However, Astarion has added longevity owed to his undead status. He was turned into a vampire spawn at 39, 200 years before the events of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. Halsin and Gale both look to be in their late 30s. Gale is 37 while Halsin only appears to be in this age range because of his Elven parentage. In actuality, Halsin is 350 years old. The fact that Halsin is the oldest companion came as a shock to some players, who believed that Half-Elf Jaheira to be the eldest in the group. It appears that almost all of the recruitable nine companions come with surprises when it came to their age. That is apart from Gale, who fans assert to be an appropriately aged \u201cDILF.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players shocked by their favorite companions\u2019 real ages Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 is unexpectedly diverse when it comes to companion ages.
