Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 was recognized as the Best Game at the Game Awards 2023, and the title was loved fairly unanimously by both critics and casual players, partly due to its great character design and boss fights. One of the more memorable antagonists in the game was Ketheric Thorm, who sought to destroy Baldur\u2019s Gate as part of the Dead Three\u2019s chosen. Players loved the design of the character and his powerful voice acting which was performed by the talented JK Simmons. However, players loved the character and his portrayal so much that they felt disappointed with how little screen time Ketheric Thorm received in the game, feeling he was \u201cunderused\u201d. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players want more Ketheric Thorm One Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 fan shared a post to social media complaining about the \u201cunderuse\u201d of the antagonist. \u201cI think Ketheric deserved far more screentime,\u201d they said. Some people couldn\u2019t agree more with the original poster\u2019s love for Ketheric Thorm: \u201cI love his character, his origin, and I feel like the voice actor really delivers!\u201d Others feel developers Larian Studios should have used Ketheric Thorm more in their plotting due to financial reasons, referencing the legendary voice actor JK Simmons. \u201cJK Simmons must cost a fortune,\u201d they noted. Finally, others had issues with even the little screen time that the character had, feeling that out of the other antagonists he was grouped with Ketheric deserved more emphasis. \u201cKetheric should have been the last of the unholy trio we face. His 3-stage combat scenario and the whole souls-like transformation set the bar pretty high for the other two but neither Orin nor Gortash could deliver the same hype Ketheric did,\u201d one fan said.
