Each of the game's 10 companions comes with a complete voice-over, including dialogue, combat remarks, and exploration lines.
Twitter user's discovery reveals that respeccing companions in Baldur's Gate 3 uncovers a broader selection of gameplay remarks, showcasing Larian's meticulous attention to detail when it comes to various character combinations.
One player of Baldur's Gate 3 made an interesting find - the game features special voice lines that can only be heard when respeccing characters. This discovery further showcases Larian's meticulous attention to detail in developing Baldur's Gate 3.
Caution: The following may contain minor spoilers for the early game of Baldur's Gate 3. Every single one of the game's 10 companions is fully voiced, with Larian going the extra mile to record numerous lines of dialogue, as well as combat and exploration remarks, for each character. Some of these remarks can also be heard from a custom protagonist, with the specific content varying based on their class.
Baldur's Gate 3 companions have a surprisingly extensive range of gameplay remarks, as discovered by Twitter user understatesmen. They found that using the respec feature to change Karlach into a Monk alters her combat shouts, while still being performed by the same voice actress, Samantha Beart. This revelation led the player to praise Larian for their attention to detail.
This unique feature, which likely applies to other class and companion combinations, may go unnoticed by many fans. Respeccing is not a necessary aspect of completing Baldur's Gate 3, and those who do respec often do so to change their leveling choices rather than trying out new classes. Additionally, the default companion classes in the game are already well-equipped for success on any difficulty level, so casual players or those unfamiliar with Dungeons and Dragons may not feel the need to explore advanced features like multi-classing and character respeccing.
To experience the alternative voice lines of Baldur's Gate 3 companions or for other purposes, it is crucial to recruit Withers during Act 1. Although Withers is not easily overlooked, it is possible to complete the game without exploring the Dank Crypt where he resides.
Once encountered, Withers becomes a regular presence at the camp, offering a diverse range of services to the party. One notable offering from this undead necromancer is the ability to respec any character for a mere 100 gold pieces. This ensures limitless possibilities to experiment with different character builds.
Baldur's Gate 3 is available now on PC and launches September 6 on PS5, with an Xbox Series X/S port also in development.
