Baldur's Gate 3: Launch Party - An Animated Short 

No wonder Astarion’s so happy to see himself, it’s not like he’s able to look in a mirror.

I'm sure Astarion's VA was having a blast voicing both Astarions.

I love how Durge is just sitting there, knitting in the dark and when asked who he is he shrugs his shoulders like “Don’t worry about it”

The "badger badger badger" reference was completely unexpected and wonderful. Core memory unlocked.

Gale not being able to read is my new favorite thing, with him saying “Quail ate tea ass” a close second.

They managed to make it to Baldurs Gate in 90 seconds, much unlike the 70 hours it took me to get there

Karlach is still the piece de resistance in my heart.

The fact that Astarion basically drools over seeing himself for the first time just makes me so happy LOL

I like how Gale is considered the leader of the party when the Dark Urge and customized MC aren’t present

The way Gale says La'unch makes me laugh everytime

2:12 is obviously a great gag but I take it as Larian acknowledging how much everyone loves Karlach.

For a while I thought, "Wow! Whoever they got to be the characters sound a LOT like the voice actors for the game!" Then I realized it was made by Larian Studios... This was fantastic.

Durge just chilling and knitting despite being an absolute killing machine is so delightful to see lmao

Durge knitting a KILL CRUSH quilt is perfection

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!

Larian all this is perfect don’t change a thing please. The goofy stuff, the quality of the game, the proximity with the fans. Please stay like this forever.

It just seems like Larian knows exactly what their playerbase wants.

Was an absolute pleasure working together with Larian to take the party on another animated adventure ❤

1:02 Astarion's scream had me rolling XD

2:16 Karlach so cute in this moment

Larian Studios, please never change from being the fun and goofy studio that just loves to produce product and content for the fans that truly love what you do.

The badgers had me rolling around in nostalgic laughter.

The Badger Badger ref, The party of 4 dressed as Sonic Characters, The petrified victim being used a clothing display. So many neat little background details. Of course, references aside, it's just a charming little short in general and the animation is really appealing. Love this.

God Neil is BRILLIANT

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

Dude this was so good, I honestly think if they made a Baldur's Gate cartoon series like this it would be great

Just completed my first play through, I'm 59 years old been playing video games since the 70s and have never felt so emotional finishing a game.an absolute triumph, well done all at larian and looking forward the the dlc

0:50 as unexpected cameo's go, the fact that the badgers were also geared and wearing armour is such a nice touch!

This version of Astarion from the animations is just so funny. I love seeing him in less serious scenarios

Holy cow that badger bit just threw me back 20 years you cant just do that to me Larian

I hope Larian understands it changed the video game world by making a game this insanely good

Okay but an actual animated show with this cast would be AMAZING.

I would actually resub to Netflix if the BG3 actors did a full animated series. They're all AMAZING 😍

Never thought I could love Astarion more. Also, la’unch… love it, Gale.

Neil Newbon had _way_ too much fun xD

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

Dang, Larian just couldn't help themselves but put perfection even into a short little comedy skit. Never change, Larian.

There would be nothing better than getting an animated Baldur's Gate 3 animated series with this hilarious level of comedy and in cheek jokes

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

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

Love it we need an actual series made like this. I will pay any money, don't give this to Netflix tho. Edit 1: To all who are getting mad at me for not wanting Netflix near BG3 ---> THEY ALREADY F'D UP THE WITCHER AND I AM NOT LETTING THEM NEAR THIS PERFECTION EVEN IF YALL CALL ME SNOWFLAKE, BIGOT, RACIST, HOMOPHOBE ETC.

I think it says something special about Larian that most companies are like 'oh no we couldn't possibly get a voice actor back for that" but the VA's for BG3 are all so excited and happy to keep producing more content for these characters ♥

My favorite part of Gail is that he can clearly Read he is a wizard after all, but just makes up weird noises instead of actually reading

Please Larian!!!!!! An entire animated series of this!!!! 😂😂

Astarion is the heart of the show always and forever

they got the actual voice actors too. we need a mini animated web series on RU-vid with this consistent quality now. It's a safe style of animation type but a good one.

Apart from Shadowheart having so few lines this was perfect.

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.

Aw poor Karlach 😂 we absolutely NEED a series of this pronto

I swear the advertising for this game is just next level. They started with The Bear to get everyone's attention and now we have this adorable well made cartoon with a bunch of the VA's. I LOVE IT SO MUCH!

astarion is such a princess i love him s much

I'm in love with the goofs and Astarion's Juice box hahahhaha

I love this series. No disrespect to Vox Machina, but this is my animated D&D show.

That was awesome! Any chance we could get some more? 🥺

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.

Please, seriously please make this into a full length tv show. Take my money

What a triumph this game is. Thank you to everyone who worked on this game. You’re all heroes in my eyes.

I would watch a tv series of this, no joke.

This makes me want a full Critcal Role-esque series with the VA's just playing their characters in existing campaigns like Curse of Strahd. 😂😭 The character work is so good I don't wanna see them go after BG3...

1:22 hol' up....is that sonic, tails, amy, and knuckles?????

The Spider-Man meme really just sealed Larian as my all time favorite video game company EVER!! 😂 I love you guys so much!

The badgers cameo cracked me up. XD Especially considering it was its 20th (I think?) anniversary just a week or so ago too!

Cause of death: Wobbly T-Pose Halsin

This should be an actual series. Lol

The old hair was better. Astarion walking right past Karlach to himself was so perfect😂

I desperately need an entire season of this 🤍 these animated shorts are too perfect!!

"It's hard to improve upon perfection" - Astarion

Love Astarion using a head like a juice box lol

Bent back Korilla at 2:42 had me in a fit of laughter, that was the most hilarious bug in EA by a long shot

Astarion's search for beauty and power will never end, as well as Astarion disapproves messages..

Omg this needs to be a show, I would binge watch every second of it immediately 🥰😄

NGL I wouldn’t mind watching a full animated series with these characters and this art style of given a budget to make it happen. This must’ve been a blast to work on.

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.

Can't get enough of this game. Well done Larian.

I f*cking want a whole cartoon series with Astarion 🤩🤩🤩🤩

My bad Karlach all happy and wiggly thinking Astarion was refering to her xDDD

I love this and its great that it uses the original voice actors. Astarions high pitched campy screams had me cackling. 😂 🦡🦡🦡

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.

Oh my gods Astarions yells of "Get it off!" has me in tears 😂

Just badgers as far as the eye can see😂

As a QA tester, the end is fabulous- Sending this to my team immediately, we're all already obsessed with BG3

Please Larian, we need a recruit-able Dark Urge NPC. He's so precious, look at him!

Can we appreciate how they tried their best to make this amazing video for us 💖💖💖

2:50 The ultimate last words

Ok now its cannon, Gale has dyslexia.

Make this a tv series! I’d watch it over and over again! 😻😻

the FROG scaring Astarion is so relatable

I just noticed that astarion is drinking his own severed head, it has his fangs and pointy ears

Thanks Larian - waited a few decades to play what is one of the finest games ever! Many kudos to you!

Dear Larian Studios, you are the best. Sincerely, Everyone.

2:15 Why is she so perfect?

Like, can we just get this as a an actual series. I'd watch the nine hells out of this.

2:00 Luv to see *The Dark Urge* got some screen time.

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?

Looked up "baldurs gate 3 animations" to find something to convince my brother he'd like this game (needed something funny to represent and not a game review). This and the greatest foe one were the top results. Was stoked to see they were by THE studio too. No regrets found. These were amazing. Thank you Larian team for making some amazing things.

Quality Assurance at Larian is quite Draconic.

The fact that they could make Astarion scream like 2:39 made me cry laughing lol.

Been playing since launch and only now am I on the cusp of finally entering baldur's gate.

Thank you for the new epilogue, Larian studios! It really helped hit the spot getting a satisfying conclusion to everyone’s adventures.

Karlach blushing is the best thing ever
