Amelia Tyler, serving as the dungeon master narrator for Baldur's Gate 3, provides fans a behind the scenes glimpse at the voice work with three videos worth of outtakes. Following the lengthy Early Access period, the highly anticipated RPG, Baldur's Gate 3 has finally launched in full, and It's fair to say that it has become a massive success for Larian Studios.
After officially launching at the start of August, Baldur's Gate 3 quickly went on to become the highest rated new game release in 2023 with a metacritic score reaching 97 overall. Naturally, this score could fluxuate as review scores continue to appear due to the fact that Baldur's Gate 3 is simply massive with tons of content and according to Larian, 174 hours worth of cutscenes. However, most of those cutscenes involve Amelia Tyler, the narrator and dungeon master of Baldur's Gate 3.
While typically heard inside Baldur's Gate 3 describing the action on screen or the results of a dice roll, Amelia Tyler has been adding a trio of videos over the past few weeks showcasing what happens when voice acting goes off the rails. As one might expect, the outtakes and bloopers during recording sessions can get pretty hilarious, with Amelia calling the outtakes a "rapid descent into gibbering madness." The videos feature parts of the recording sessions that likely won't be in the game including things like random sound effects, reactions to certain lines and crazy sounding fantasy names, and plenty of hilarious one-liners, retorts, and other bits.
Reactions to the videos have been incredibly positive, with fans enjoying the behind the scenes look. There are more than a few comments of players who want specific outtakes modded into Baldur's Gate 3, especially for those times when a dice roll doesn't quite go as planned. However, many agreed that even though these are outtakes, they loved the energy and style Amelia brought to the sessions as the voice lines are a ton of fun to listen to.
Even though the core experience is fairly long, fans are hoping to hear more of Amelia through some sort of eventual DLC expansion. Odds may not currently be great as Baldur's Gate 3 director Swen Vinke mentioned that the studio wasn't working on any future content for the game, though with how well it has been received, plans could change. In fact, some have already made the case as to why an expansion could be good for Baldur's Gate 3.
Baldur's Gate 3 is available now on PC, with a PS5 release on September 6 and an Xbox launch to follow.
