Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s most unique companion has the most boring backstory Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 has some exciting companions filled with the kind of backstories many D&D players dream of for their own characters \u2013 but perhaps the most unique companion just has the most boring backstory. From being enslaved by a cambion, kidnapped by a cult, a prisoner to a powerful vampire, and even being chosen by a god, the companions of BG3 are certainly not lacking in both flair and incredibly unfortunate circumstances. However, one companion doesn\u2019t seem to live up to these standards, and they still retain one of the most interesting character designs in the game. Lae\u2019zel has a fantastic character design, leading to multiple cosplays, similar creations, and inspirations for new D&D campaigns \u2013 but she just has the most boring backstory of them all. Sure, she\u2019s a deadly warrior in service of Vlaakith, but before the tadpole incident, she was just a generic Gith soldier; nothing special really happened to her until the infection. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players were quick to spot the glaring normality of her backstory, sharing that \u201cIronically, Lae\u2019zel is the most normal person in the party\u201d on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Reddit. Others found it to be hilarious that \u201cthe literal alien has the least fantastical background and role.\u201d As a fighter, she\u2019s almost your standard character, using the simplest class and easiest background, despite having one of the most unique races available in the game (aside from Dragonborn). \u201cLae\u2019zel was basically the class valedictorian and then got abducted right before graduation,\u201d joked another player, going on to say, \u201cNow she\u2019s finding out her people\u2019s Judas is still alive, and actually, he\u2019s the one who had a point.\u201d Ultimately, while Lae\u2019zel may have a pretty standard backstory, her real adventure happens during the game, where she discovers more about Orpheus and Vlaakith. The other companions certainly have in-game arcs, but none match up to Lae\u2019zel\u2019s total twist of belief (aside from maybe Shadowheart).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
