If you choose a new class for your companions in Baldur’s Gate 3, you can discover new voice lines. MeinMMO tells you what it’s all about.
What’s behind it? In Baldur’s Gate 3, your companions already have predefined classes that correspond to their individual backstories. For some, it is unthinkable not to play Astarion as a rogue, as the class simply fits him well. However, players have now discovered that the RPG has a wealth of additional voice lines when you change class with your companions.
Your rage shout is one of the best
What does it look like? For example, if you play Shadowheart not as a cleric, but as a barbarian or bard, there are unique voice lines. Each rage shout of your companions as a barbarian sounds different. Even when you cast Taunting Mockery
as a bard, each companion has their own jokes.
Spoiler: Caution, a spoiler about the story of Shadowheart follows.
What does the community say? A player reports on Reddit about a run where he made Shadowheart a barbarian: Your rage shout is one of the best, and it truly felt like she unleashed 4 decades of trauma onto Viconia’s head
.
Other players praise the performance of Jennifer English, the voice actress for Shadowheart – The voice actress gave it her all
.
You can see for yourself. YouTuber Saretz shared a video on YouTube that shows all the rage shouts from each individual companion:
There are also comments about other characters like Astarion and Gale, with some players praising Astarion’s efforts while others find his shout less convincing.
And if you want to play your companions as bards, you can throw around your own evil comments. Saretz also shared a video on YouTube regarding this, which you can also watch here:
Among other things, your companions then say the following:
- Minthara:
My Life. Part 12. The boring opponent
. - Gale:
You cyst. You misshapen flesh-lump
. - Astarion:
Gnoll eat your face and shit it out?
- Shadowheart:
As the leg, you’ll end in defeat.
Small note: Some of these are probably also the same when you play the bard yourself. But the voice actors definitely put in a lot of effort.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is already known for the many voice lines that give the game enormous depth. However, this discovery takes it a step further. It’s nice to see how even such small details in the game generate so much excitement. Do you know of any other classes where this is the case? Feel free to write it in the comments.
