Baldur's Gate 3 News
Lae'zel's actor shares the 'one and only audition' that got her the role in Baldur's Gate 3, featuring threats, bullying, and more urine drinking than I expected
Can I make a confession? Can I make it even if I'm pretty sure I've said it before, multiple times, on this very website? I can? Great. Lae'zel is my favourite companion from Baldur's Gate 3.
