Becoming Karlach: Two years after release, Samantha Béart reflects on Baldur's Gate 3, stoicism, and... Gordon Ramsay?


"I've learned to trust my instincts more thanks to playing Karlach".

Karlach was brought to life by actor Samantha Béart, and I got the chance to sit down with them at this year's Gamescom to find out more about what this role has meant not only to them, but to the Baldur's Gate 3 community in general. For their part as Thomasina Bateman, Béart was long-listed for a BAFTA Games Award in the category of Performer in a Leading Role, and this caught the attention of Larian. In case you were unaware, Karlach spent the 10 years prior to Baldur's Gate 3 in Hell, before escaping with nothing but the axe on her back and the infernal engine that sits where her heart once was.
