Baldur's Gate 3 Actors On Returning Without Larian: "Show Me The Script"

thegamer.com:

Baldur's Gate 3 actors Samantha Béart and Tracy Wiles, who play Karlach and Jaheira respectively, are open to returning for future games. However, they added that the script has to be up to the same quality that we got with Larian, as the studio won't be working on the next Baldur's Gate entry.

Neil Newbon is also very open to returning, telling us that he's "not done" with Astarion just yet. It opens up the possibility of the characters appearing in the next Baldur's Gate game, even as their creators move away from the series.

The actors discussed this on the BAFTA Games Awards red carpet, speaking with our Lead Features Editor Jade King.

Baldur's Gate 3's characters were created by Larian, but are owned by Dungeons & Dragons rights holders Wizards of the Coast .

"Let's see what they've got," says Béart, before they and Wiles both add, "Show me the script."

"The writing was so strong on this," Béart continues, discussing Baldur's Gate 3. "So, let's see what you've got. Let's see what you've got, Wizards."

Wiles admits that she "can't imagine" working without Jaheira's Baldiur's Gate 3 writer, Ruairí Moore, but adds that she's "open" to reprising her role.

Speaking with TheGamer separately, Neil Newbon is very much open to playing Astarion again, "If anyone ever made me an offer to do so I'd jump on it."

"He's a wonderful character to play. If somebody ever turned around and said, 'Hey, do you want to do it again?' I'd be saying yes. I'm not done with him yet." - Neil Newbon

Larian announced that it would be stepping away from the Baldur's Gate series at GDC this year, shocking fans. This means there will be no expansions for Baldur's Gate 3, despite one previously being in the early stages of development, nor will there be a Baldur's Gate 4 developed by Larian. We'll probably still get a sequel, especially after the huge success of Baldur's Gate 3, but that will be up to Wizards of the Coast now.

Larian has suggested that one of the reasons
