Latest Baldur’s Gate 3 trailer shows Maggie Robertson’s villainous shapeshifter
Larian Studios, developers of the long-awaited and just-long Baldur’s Gate 3, have unveiled the trailer for the villainous Orin the Red. She’s a master shapeshifter and one-third of a triumvirate of main villains that players will have to deal with in the game.
Orin will create many challenges for players as she has the ability to shapeshift into any person in the world. This means we probably won’t get the chance to trust any NPC we come across in the game, or perhaps even worse. It’s likely that she will, at some point, replace one of our companions without us noticing, so keep an ever-watchful eye. Also, many call her a “great master” of murder, so she’s perhaps also good at doing other even viler stuff.
The voice and motion behind Orin are those of Maggie Robertson. Most players will recognize her as Lady Dimitrescu from Resident Evil Village. She describes Orin as a “very disturbing figure”. Joining Maggie to form the villainous trio will be J.K Simmons of Whiplash and Invinciblefame, as well as Jason Isaacs from that thing with the kid wizard.
Simmons will portray General Ketheric Thorm, a military leader who’s seemingly unkillable.
Isaacs will portray Lord Enver Gortash, a sleazy politician hellbent on conquering Baldur’s Gate. He’ll seemingly try to convince the main character to join forces with him on his quest. That’s cool, but I’m guessing he doesn’t have the best of intentions.
We can barely wait to kill the three of them.
Baldur’s Gate 3 will come out on August 3 on Steam and GOG. PlayStation 5 owners will have to wait until it releases on September 6. There’s still no word on the Xbox Series X|S release.
