Baldur's Gate 3: Launch Party
850,525
Published 2023-09-07
There’s someone new called The Dark Urge, Gale has a new face, Shadowheart has a new hairdo, and the high-elf rogue… well, he’s as beautiful as ever, which is why early access Astarion is trying to initiate a Baldurs Gate 3 romance with launch Astarion. Although, the old party isn’t long for this world: it’s all about BG3 launch content now!
Massive thanks to Molly, Emily and everyone at Larian Studios for their support ❤️

The fact you got the actual VAs to voice this is amazing
-
I'm willing to give everything just to see more baldur's gate 3 cartoons, please
-
You can tell Neil Newbon had an absolute blast recording Astarion's lines for this 🤣
-
As soon I saw Astarion put his hand inside the portal I thought that Dark Urge is gonna bite it off 💀
-
If any of the voice actors are reading this, you all are amazing and you did a fantastic job with the game! 😊
-
I love the bit of Gale, the Wizard who is supposed to be brightest, reads the language he's speaking like he's dyslexic.
-
Astarion swooning over Astarion is so in character of him 😂❤️
-
I didnt think it was possible but you made Astarion funnier and Karlach even more adorable. I sincerely hope they make more of these.
-
I started watching the video and was like "Damn, Gale's voice is really similar to Tim Downie's voice, well done". Then enters Astarion: "No way, IT IS the OG voice actors." Well done.
-
I like how durge is just chilling and knitting, minding his own business while the early access versions are being dealt with lol.
-
Watching this has convinced me of three things: 1. I really want to play Baldur’s Gate 3 2. This is a great advertisement for the game regardless of it just being an awesome video. 3. Mashed really needs to make a series about this great group of adventurers especially Karlach, she is my favorite.
-
I would watch a series like this! It's quite sad that Shadowheart isn't so talkative, but alas. And that Dark Urdge is the most cute and precious thing in the world! definitely the most sane, good, and peaceful person in the whole game. I can't wait until he meets some bards down the road; I'm sure that he has a beautiful voice!
-
"Badgers as far as the eye can see" This is why Karlach is one of my favorites
-
I'd watch a whole series of these
-
Astarion‘s panicked screams give me life, this is definitely peak marketing! Much, much love to the animators & the voice actors <333 And Larian of course! ✨
-
This feels like something between a saturday morning cartoon and an adult swim cartoon. Very charming! VAs killing it as always
-
I was looking forward to more Baldur's Gate cartoons. Also, giving Astarion's VA most of the lines is excellent marketing.
-
I like them just seeing the dark urge confused on who that is and him actually shrugging because they dont know either
-
Neil always kills it omg. This was a great performance by everyone but this version of astarion had me in stitches. I would love to see this become an actual series. I would be hooked!
