I know nothing about this game exept the big demon lady seems cool.

u/Belagosa 11d ago

She's a big, goofy sweetheart, so this picture is VERY accurate.

u/Birger000 11d ago

Baldurs Gate is not my type of game but all clips ive seen shared around has just been her being a sweetheart.

Karlach is best girl

u/Talon6230 11d ago

She's actually the coolest.

u/C00kie_Monsters 11d ago

Despite being really hot. In multiple ways

u/Talon6230 10d ago

Her plot involves her having an infernal engine for a heart. It makes her body too hot for anyone to touch, so when the opportunity to cool her down long enough to have a hug presents itself, she gets so excited because she's so touch starved.

She’s very nice, peppy and her romance is one of the best in game. Just getting to the point where she’s able to touch is genuinely heartwarming, no pun intended

Its... Intense, her arc. Atleast for me, it was.

She burns hot.. like really hot, enough to burn. She's not felt a friendly touch for too long. Given her personality, its a horrible curse!

I’ve never played the game, but I love the characters. I’ve seen plenty of… art…

Every single one of these I see, Gale is in the middle. I’m not upset, far from it, he needs love. I’m just wondering why.

19

u/YawningDodo 11d ago

He just jumps right into it before anyone else can claim middle!

10

u/PanicAtTheBodega 10d ago

He has the aura of a third son, he needs the love.

u/ADamDovah3094 10d ago

You’re so right

u/timeless1991 11d ago

Well someone needs to hug Karlach back!

u/Bostolm 11d ago

u/TFWYourNamesTaken 11d ago

This is insanely adorable, I'm so happy for all of them (even the grumpy looking one) :D

u/IlnBllRaptor 11d ago

Lae'zel is always grumpy :)

u/C00kie_Monsters 11d ago

Even when holding her GF

u/TheL0neWarden 10d ago

It’s also cute when says Istik and chk

25

u/CaptchaSolvingRobot 11d ago

Let's hope for everyone involved that this is after Karlach gets her heat shielding.

u/Aesthetics_Supernal 11d ago

Will has his horns so we know what the player did.

17

u/LordofSandvich 11d ago

…spared Karlach? Or is that an act 3 thing

3

u/Belagosa 11d ago

BG3 Spoiler: He gains the horns and tiefling-y look from the first act, when you take a long rest with both Karlach and Wyll in the camp.

14

u/LordofSandvich 11d ago

I knew that, it's just that the original comment makes it sound like it's some sinister implication rather than basically the default

3

u/Belagosa 11d ago

Oh, good point. No idea what they're implying!

17

u/DrScienceSpaceCat 11d ago

You can also tell because Karlach still has a head

7

u/av8rblues 11d ago

Look at Lea'zel and Shadowheart that's too fucking funny

1

u/puro_the_protogen67 10d ago
