Baldur’s Gate 3 is almost upon us, which means that much of the next week will be spent excitedly waiting to finally dive into the RPG game and its expansive Dungeons & Dragons-inspired world.

Simmons, who is acting as General Ketheric Thorm, and Jason Isaacs, who acts as Lord Enver Gortash, to complete the “unholy triumvirate” of villains in Baldur’s Gate 3. Robertson seems enthusiastic about her role as a shapeshifting evil, saying, “To be considered even in the same realm much less share scenes with J.K. Simmons and Jason Isaacs was such an honor, and it was so inspiring and exciting to see their work in this game and experience how our characters come together.”

The game’s developers have also painted a telling picture of Orin, describing her as a “practitioner in the art of inflicting pain and a grandmaster of murder.” I think I now low-key want to see
