BG3 is like a rare moment, when everything "clicked". In particular, actors did a stellar job, bringing everything to life. Well done, everyone involved!

Gale being bad at reading despite being a book nerd and Astarion's screams were my favourite things about this (along with the sonic cameo in the background) Very entertaining and impressive work!
I’d like to think that the English language is super foreign and isn’t known in the bg3 universe, and that even gale, a scholar, can only put letters together because he’s likely studied it considering no one else pointed out what it said.
Ohmygod, animated Astarion is to small and precious, he's even smaller than Shadowheart. 😁 I mean, he's only of medium height in-game (I think officiall 1,75m or something?), so for an elf he probably considers himself tall, but... yeah. Here he's this tiny hyperactive gremlin. 🤗

this game is amazing and no microtransactions. Thank you Larian Studios for giving us this Diamond of a Game in a time when games are coming out in broken states this game is leaps and bounds above it competitors. This game deserved GOTY and I can't wait to see what else you this amazing studios comes up with with the love and attention it deserves. From voice acting to options and hidden interactions this game is hands down one the best games I've bought in years and I'm 35 so I grew up with Nintendo and words can't describe my love for this game. Even as an Adult game it is I still think they set a new standard for quality games and I thank you for it.
Astarion screaming is hilarious! 🤣 The QA dragon really got me laughing though. Especially after watching the interview with the CEO on how they were able to do rapid fire releases and updates.
i've had baldur's gate 3 for less than a week and nothing will deter me from loving how chaotic and hilarious it actually is. this animated short portrays it beautifully
This gives me a OG teen titans vibes and im all for it! I need more! Karlach is like starfire, astarion is like beast boy, gale is like robin, and shadowheart is basically raven. I cant be the only one seeing this right?
Thank you for giving us such a beautiful, wonderful game. I was having a hard time emotionally, mentally, and physically after being discharged from the hospital but BG3 helped me feel great. Seriously, thank you very much.
Bro, how have I not seen anyone talking about the Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy when Astarion is showing off Baldur's Gate? That caught me off guard so hard, but I love it so much, I love all the little easter eggs they've been putting into these shorts.
0:49 is the absolute best line (also the only unrealistic part is that karlach's mind only though of that after the first two, should have been first thing she thought of)
Heya! as someone who works as Senior QA tester on a Video Game developing studio, I just wanted to say that the Dragon QA gave me a hearty laugh, you guys are awesome.

currently looking for the way in... My playtime is closing in on the 100 hours, but to be fair it´s my 4th solo character that I actually decided to play further than the beginning of the Underdark :D
@@RSProduxx the characters get MUCH more fun and powerful after you get past the starting act, you should stick with your current character and see where it goes. You won't find the entrance to Baldur's gate in the first Act
I dont know who else did this too, but once they got to Baldur's Gate I paused like a million times at basically seeing everyone's OC and Tav and figuring out their class and jazz-I freaking love this!
No wonder Astarion’s so happy to see himself, it’s not like he’s able to look in a mirror.
Very good point. Never thought about it like that.
DAMN you're right
But does the no mirror image apply to vampire spawn or does it have to be a full blown vampire for it to take effect?

As a QA tester, the end is fabulous-
Sending this to my team immediately, we're all already obsessed with BG3
Okay but an actual animated show with this cast would be AMAZING.
Dear Larian Studios,
you are the best.
Sincerely,
Everyone.
they sell broken ass games at launch like everyone else. This is last time buy any shit from larian. They pulled same stunt with divinity original sin 2. Stop being a shill.
The old hair was better. Astarion walking right past Karlach to himself was so perfect😂
Nah, bangs supremacy
Complete her quest in Act 2, she'll change it back
@@romanabanin2216 I played so much early access I never even toggled her helmet off to acknowledge her new haircut in dialogue on release, was more interested in Act2 content. When she was like "I cut my hair to better represent Shar" I was like _oh cool let me see that_ **Takes off her helmet to see the same haircut I have always seen over two years** I thought the game glitched.
@@SiegInvencivel not straight cut bangs. Shit's whack
Her hair is reversed in the animations. It's humor to respond to people's complaints about her hair in the EA, I guess.
this game is amazing and no microtransactions. Thank you Larian Studios for giving us this Diamond of a Game in a time when games are coming out in broken states this game is leaps and bounds above it competitors. This game deserved GOTY and I can't wait to see what else you this amazing studios comes up with with the love and attention it deserves. From voice acting to options and hidden interactions this game is hands down one the best games I've bought in years and I'm 35 so I grew up with Nintendo and words can't describe my love for this game. Even as an Adult game it is I still think they set a new standard for quality games and I thank you for it.
Just in case you might see this, thank you everyone at Larian Studios for an amazing game and the many years of entertainment the process provided.
I love this and its great that it uses the original voice actors.
Astarions high pitched campy screams had me cackling. 😂
🦡🦡🦡
I love how Gale gave a wink to the 4th Wall at 3:04
Astarion screaming is hilarious! 🤣 The QA dragon really got me laughing though. Especially after watching the interview with the CEO on how they were able to do rapid fire releases and updates.
Thanks Larian - waited a few decades to play what is one of the finest games ever! Many kudos to you!
i've had baldur's gate 3 for less than a week and nothing will deter me from loving how chaotic and hilarious it actually is. this animated short portrays it beautifully
Ok now its cannon, Gale has dyslexia.
2:00 Luv to see *The Dark Urge* got some screen time.
All the references in this! From Waldo, to Princess Rosalina with the Mario bros, the fckin Gnome! And so much more. Amazing work!
And all the Monty Python references too.
This gives me a OG teen titans vibes and im all for it! I need more! Karlach is like starfire, astarion is like beast boy, gale is like robin, and shadowheart is basically raven. I cant be the only one seeing this right?
Karlach more like female Version of a cyborg. :(
The fact that they could make Astarion scream like 2:39 made me cry laughing lol.
LMAO I DIDNT EVEN PAY ATTENTION THE FIRST TIME THAT CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD XDD
0:49 holy fuck that is a pre-historic internet reference. Albino blacksheep era.
Thank you for giving us such a beautiful, wonderful game. I was having a hard time emotionally, mentally, and physically after being discharged from the hospital but BG3 helped me feel great. Seriously, thank you very much.
Make this a tv series! I’d watch it over and over again! 😻😻
Be careful what you wish for.
@@cameronmcewen9666 Only get up to 12 in BG3, can't get Wish! :(
Not gonna lie, these animations were a huge part in my decision to get the game. Just pure fun all around, and I’m here for it
Bro, how have I not seen anyone talking about the Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy when Astarion is showing off Baldur's Gate? That caught me off guard so hard, but I love it so much, I love all the little easter eggs they've been putting into these shorts.
lol same, I figured it would be the top comment
Right? Considering how much people love Sonic, I was surprised it’s not talked about more.
Did you not notice the SPACE MARINES?
Human versions of them
@@fbskxnwkdnworkir wait, there were SPACE MARINES???
I'd pay a sizeable amount of gold for an full series like this!
You're not a milliionare tho
0:49
The fact that I have a save file as a druid that's always a badger makes me love this scene more than I need to
astarion rlly just hit us with a “so true” im cryinf
0:49 is the absolute best line (also the only unrealistic part is that karlach's mind only though of that after the first two, should have been first thing she thought of)
Heya! as someone who works as Senior QA tester on a Video Game developing studio, I just wanted to say that the Dragon QA gave me a hearty laugh, you guys are awesome.
2:12 Is the most correct line I ever heard. Thanks Larian for the perfection that Astarion is ❤
(We need more Halsin!!!!)
Please Larian!!!!!! An entire animated series of this!!!! 😂😂
Larian, yall are a breath of fresh air in our current gaming landscape. its like yall remember that games are supposed to be fun
Larian is doin the most in the best of ways. So much was made for this work of art its beyond impressive
Been playing since launch and only now am I on the cusp of finally entering baldur's gate.
Been playing for a week and not even close. I tried to get to baldur's gate too early and apparently that was a mistake (not going to spoil what happened, but I never made it to baldur's gate)
currently looking for the way in... My playtime is closing in on the 100 hours, but to be fair it´s my 4th solo character that I actually decided to play further than the beginning of the Underdark :D
I entered for a day or two and was so opposed to the game ending that I just did another play through, and another, and another…
@@RSProduxx the characters get MUCH more fun and powerful after you get past the starting act, you should stick with your current character and see where it goes.
You won't find the entrance to Baldur's gate in the first Act
Performance is rougher at act 3. Lower city
"Do you have any idea how popular multiverses are right now?" That killed me. Lol.
The game of the decade!
Love Astarion using a head like a juice box lol
Pulling the badger throwback was something I wasn't expecting xD please keep making games ❤
Apart from Shadowheart having so few lines this was perfect.
I'm just glad baby boi finally gets to see himself in the sunlight! 😭
I dont know who else did this too, but once they got to Baldur's Gate I paused like a million times at basically seeing everyone's OC and Tav and figuring out their class and jazz-I freaking love this!
This is just perfection, i would watch the hell out of a series like this, if you need money for it just ask us WE WILL FUND THIS!
Heeeey, Astarion finally found out what he looks like!
I love the little refrence to the hardcore campaign of lost mines of phandelver, seeing Turg, Tommy, Sylvester, and Veldrin in this is so cool
astarion is such a princess i love him s much
I loved shadowhearts old hair 😄
Thank You Larian for being wonderful. Thank you to everyone working on this game.
LOL "Badgers! As far as the eye can see!"
