Lae'zel's Voice Actor Reacts To Iconic Moments In Baldur's Gate 3 

Lae'zel is a performance that should've gotten awards.

I met Devora Wilde last year and she is one of the loveliest people you'll ever meet. I asked her to send a video message to one of my friends who didn't turn up to same convention and she went full Lae'zel on him. After an hour my friend responded and I went back to her table to show her and before I say anything she got up and asked "Has he responded? Let me see" For me that shows she loves her work and fans.

In the various D&D games over the decades there has never been a playable or even companionable Githyanki character. As a long time D&D player I sincerely applaud Larian Studios, Devora, and all those involved with producing Baldur's Gate for having the guts to take on a Githyanki character. The results speak for themselves - Lae'zel is a very memorable character for me.

never thought of lae'zel as unlikeable, shes probably my favorite character just from her attitude alone !

I love Lae'zel;s emotional journey. The sunrise is beautiful. And I love that for Lae'zel loyalty isn't as blind as people think. She understands it is reciprocal.

Made her my companion on every play through

I made an act II trailer for her BG3 run on Twitch. I didn't even know if she was gonna like it. What happened next was way beyond my comprehension. She had the sweetest possible reaction, sharing the video on Instagram while tagging me and uploading it to her channel on RU-vid making it the "canon" trailer for her game, also mentioning me by my name. She thanked me multiple times, even in her next stream in front of everyone. That for me is definitely a core memory and one of the most beautiful moments I've had in the last years. I've never had a similar reaction from another famous person and I don't think I will ever have. Devora Wilde is just THE BEST and deserves all the love that she gets.

Lae'zel is a total badass, she stays in my party ALL THE TIMES.

Really fun to see a VA that truly loves the character they played, you can tell how much a difference it makes in the final product. I would love to see more of these for other characters and gamesin the future.

"aww, look at her little froggy face!" 😂

She’s probably one of the funniest companions next to Minthara. I like her development throughout the whole game and she saves my honor mode and secures the golden dice

Bae'zel has an honesty to her some find confronting, while others appreciate the cander.

Lae'zel is such a fun character, I didnt find her annoying as other people seemed to have. I laughed more from her lines than any other companions tbh shes just so unique!

Dev is sooo good

I love Lae'zel so much. Her romance arc makes me cry. I love her.

The sunrise scene is wonderful.

Romancing Lae'zel was a natural progression in my first playthrough. She just suddenly came on to me and I followed it as far as I could. She has a sweetness to her once she warmed up to my Tav, and for some reason I find her smile innocent and endearing. I broke up with her along the way but she stayed on good terms until the end. I gotta admit I felt emotional when she looked back and smiled before hopping on to her dragon and flew away.

Lae’zel cracks me the heck up throughout the game. I love the scene very early on where Tav corrects her calling Teiflings the wrong name and such it was incredibly charming.

I knew from her 1st line of dialog in my 1st playthrough Ley'zel was gonna be bae. I was definitely not disappointed by the outcome.

This is what happens when a githyanki grows up in a loving environment 😂

Always adored Lae'zel - I liked how abrasive she was, and really treasure the journey she goes on. Of all the companion characters through almost 1800 hours of various playthroughs, I think Lae'zel is the only constant.

Such an incredible cast of vas. Such iconic characters. Touched the hearts of a lot of players myself included. I wish all of the vas continued success.

the sunrise scene made me cry more than any other part in the game. notice when she says "i see the colors between" she look directly at Tav, saying that Tav is the colors between and the "Source of my joy" is such a beautiful tender moment, it makes me want to only romance Lae'zel every playthrough i hope the Lae'zel haters watch this, and see that she is a deeper character than they thought Lae'zel is from a militaristic society; in a world like that, sex is more about releasing tension than love, which is why she comes on to you so early but then when she wakes you in the middle of the night to become "Source of my bruises" she is opening up to the feeling that you are more than just a fk buddy

Lae'zel was my Tav's best friend from the beginning till the very end: I've never excluded her from my party! She and my Lolth-sworn drow had pretty much in common. Two individuals, raised in the harshest and most unforgiving societies in Faerun (also ruled by two evil queens), can understand each other very well

Lae'zel's eyes communicate more depth to her lines. I love how she can go from a protective snarl to pleading puppy-dog eyes in a heartbeat. Just look at those eyes 9:08 and 13:58😻

Lae'zel is one of my favorite companions for my party 🥳 Devora did such a great job. I was really happy to see this video.

Lae'zel was my first romance and now I can't stop romancing her, even managed to bring her over to Dragon's Dogma 2 and got max affinity there too. To be honest I think the whole cast of BG3 was phenomenal but personally Lae'zel's character stood out to me on a personal level

Such underrated performance, when I got to that creche part when Lae'zel has a faith crysis I was completely sold and she became one of my favourite characters in the entire game

Had the pleasure of meeting Devora in Dublin a few months ago. One of the nicest people I’ve met.

Props to Lae’zel for sleeping with Karlach in Act One of my Origin playthrough. Must have been a hot night!

The best character of the game :) thank you so much for bringing this character to life in such an endearing way

Dev is so great! Thank you for having her on :D Her performance in that sunrise scene made me cry :')

I've never gotten lea'zel killed or had her turn her back on me. She has been with me till the end for all of my playthroughs. A couple of them I ha e changed her class to monk because half way through the story, it feels like she would for orpheus.

Thank-you for bringing Lae'zel to life 💗💗💗

Lae'zel is one of the best characters in this game & my personal favorite. Devora Wilde did a amazing job bringing her to life, along with larian studio's.

Props this game had to be so hard to voice for but also fun

I went in to Bg3 completely blind,except for character pictures,both to Baldur’s gate in general and DnD. Based off of appearances alone,I thought I wouldn’t like Lae’zel. She looked too alien to me and I wasn’t sure I could connect. (It was the same for Karlach) However,once I got to playing the game and interacted with her,she quickly rose to my second favorite character. I often times make people angry when I say what I mean to them,which relates me to her. As someone with autism, I find myself relating to her a lot.

One thing that is not talked about often is how Lae'zel's personality in game and the gameplay matches so well, especially early on. She commands you and talks as if she is carrying the team and franky she is usually carrying the team in combat. So I always felt like what she said was warranted.

Larian truly put some humanity into the Gith with the writing of Lae'zel. And Devora was able to expertly portray that. Lae'zel has her entire world crushed with the discovery of her entire life and livelihood were a lie for the benefit of one person.

Lae‘zel is so powerful, I think she is definitely the best companion fighting-wise, even if I don't multi class, or know much of the gameplay.

Her performance was amazing.

For 20 years I was a DM, and the Gith were always my favorite characters to play both as DM or player, well done Devora, forgive my familiarity but at 68 you qualify as Kiddo to me, and that is meant in the most warm and respectful tone.

I love Lae'zel, she really is one of the most honest companions (maybe together with Jaheira, Minsc and Karlach). I love the development she makes throughout the game.

Lae'zel was an incredible char, both greatly written and acted in a way that really gave her so much nuance. I loved her so much.

Fantastic character and an amazing actress

Gorgeous. The actress that plays her is cute too.

Lae'Zel is a very well written character, but truly every character in the camp has a great writing. And every character is supported by wonderful voice actors

I thought Lae'zel was fine at first, but when I discovered you could steal the Legendary Silver Sword and give it to her Act 1; she went instantly to S-rank. I don't care if I got to make her a bard or cleric or something she's a must have.

man, I love all of you guys and how much love you put in the game - and you even not finished today !

7:19 i was so happy to see so many different yet all strong and confident female characters, specially laezel, thanks devora

Devora did a great job with Lae'zel. Her and Astarion had th best stories. I always had Lae'zel in my party cause she is a tank and hits hard. She might be a tough but she can be soft and vulnerable and for me I love how she questioned her queen. Now I have to do the opposite of her good ending

Almost done playing my second playthrough..Used Laezelle this time..Surprised by the depth of her evolution! I fell in love with her! And she fights very well!

DAMN, I LOVE HER

9:52 i completely agree

Wish she would react to the "ascension" ending as well.... That shit made cry of sadness.

I loved her performance as Lae’zel! She did an incredible job.

More of things like this please

Her progression from calus lone warrior with a singular purpose to seeing the beauty of life between war and peace, and finding the value in permanent family bonds reminds me of Geralt as well

Watching this one was really cool...devora wilde did a great job being the voice actor

Lae'zel came onto me, I accepted her advances, and she was like, "Naw dawg, your bedroll is too busy for my liking." I feel like I missed out. Oh well, that's just one small part of the mountain of replay value BG3 has.

I want to see her voice act in another Mortal Kombat game in the future.

When Lae'zel says she gonna "taste" my body, I'm scared...

I love that angry space frog!

Oh Lae'zel... I couldn't stand her to start with, and then I couldn't live without her. She is always in my party!!!!

Lae’zel is always in my party I love her smmmmm

Never thought that i'd fall for a VA as i did for Devora, she is incredible and cool.

Shes so beautiful

"Is there something bothering you?"

Saw her name in the Dragon’s Dogma 2 credits as an additional voice, and now hearing her actual voice, I can vaguely remember the npcs that sound like her.

Fair point about Lae'zel keeping everyone on task - she's the irritated DM herding a bunch of very deadly, very scatter-brained cats with loot goblin tendencies.

Vlaakith killed her on her first playthrough, she kept testing her 😂 I recommend watching her stream her playthrough, her and grace are a lot of fun.

Great acting and writing in this game all around. It’s no wonder they broke records for awards

i love her 😭

I remember I was a bit off-put by Lae'zel in the beginning but gained my respect really quick.Mainly because I don't like pushy people but for sure her brute honesty is what made her charming shortly after.Come one, that flip over Tav in her debut scene i epic, never skipped it on all 5 of my play throughs. In fact I recall times where I rooted for her more that the fan fav Shadowheart, who is a bit of the same but misleading and down right shady sometimes. I mean in the Nautiloid ship Lae'zel is being a badass showing us how tf to get off the ship and Shadowheart decides this is the best time to be snarky. Like "bruh I'm tryna get tf outta here, can we all just listen to Lae'zel asshole lol" Lae'zel is a certified badass and I damn near always take her into my party just to watch her slice and maul down enemies with such ease. Shes probably the least party member I changed her class from because she was so strong, even in the early game. I know when its her turn some bodies about to see the after life soon as I press the attack button lmao!😂💪⚔

I love Lae'zel, right from moment 1.

Lae’zel the goat, I’ve been riding with her since day 1

Fav'zel

Lae'zel raising a githyanki child is the best

Dev and Grace's playthrough is legendary at this stage! Check it out!

I liked Laezel initially, but never felt interested in romancing her. But when I went through the game the first 2 times, I really saw her progression, especially the second playthrough as I was a bit less focused on the story events and could focus on characters. Now I have an avatar just beginning act 3 who is romancing her, and it's been a really cool experience.

Lae'zel is an amazing character who I didn't appreciate enough on my first playthrough. On my second I romanced her which was an incredibly fulfilling journey but had the troublesome little side effect of now really wanting to romance her again every playthrough just to see more of her with how good her character development is especially when doing her romance. I am mainly interested in the female companions, might try the romances for the male ones someday but out of Lae'zel, Shadowheart and Karlach it does feel like not romancing Lae'zel makes you miss a lot more of her character than the other two. Probably after this run where I am romancing Karlach I'll just go back to romancing Lae'zel every run from then on.

Amost first t'chk!

I love my Bae‘zel❤

I think Lae'zel is an amazing character, I absolutely loved having her in my party! In fact, I had to restart my playthrough because in the first, I had gotten intimate with Lae'zel early on, but ultimately wanted to romance Shadowheart, and didn't have the heart to break it off with Lae'zel...

Devora wilde is amazing

Lae'zel is your "true believer" zealot who is focused on her task at hand. She is strong and forthright in her actions and convictions. The truth she realizes later on down the road leads her to show her vulnerability and that is shown through the physical and voice performance as well. A truly excellent performance all around.

Its so fun to tease Laezel.

Lae'zel is def my 2nd fave.

Her performance was *perfect* for a Gith. Now I just wanna see Dakkon brought to life in a BG game.. or a new Planescape! Wld just be *soooo* coool..

Bae'zel

PLZ do Raphael next! What a great character. A character who just come to you here and there, but sooooo fucking memorable. Too bad demon are all evil in D&D world, I want to be friend with Raphael so much XD

awesome

I love Lae'zel. She is pure, honest, genuine, and passionate. I love her character arc and I love romancing her. She is a true romantic as well as a warrior equal. Strength, integrity, and openness. She's my girl, Source of my bruises, Source of my joy.

Lae'zel is my passionate beauty.

I think one part a lot of people miss in Lae'zel is that at the start of the game, she knows Vlaakith's teachings, but she doesn't know herself. She's actually a healthily developed person with a full range of emotions even there already, but she's not aware of that and doesn't understand herself yet. Lae'zel thinks of herself an ice cold, emotionless killer, and she really is not. That is why you often need to look past HOW she says something and really focus WHAT she says. A great example is early on in the grove, I think this is also the same conversation that has the nose stuff, where she mispronounces "teeth-ling" and "fae-run". She goes a little bit on a tangent on how little she supposedly thinks of the locals ("not culture, custom perhaps"), which projects the Githyanki supremacist, aloof warrior. Then you look at the actual content of the statements and discover that she is asking the player to TEACH HER. No real supremacist would care to learn details about cultures they honestly think are worthlessly barbarian. How does she get to that point? Well, the very first thing that Lae'zel does when she's alone is walk into a trap designed for animals and helplessly wait for rescue. My interpretation is that this thoroughly humbled her and made her at the very least question the entire idea of how inherently superior she is. She keeps up the act for quite a while, but there's no real bite to her alleged racism, ever. This theme continues: Lae'zel's actions and the actual contents of her statements tell you that she's a much more humble and sincere person than you'd assume if you just look at her choice of words. Lae'zel is my favorite companion in Baldur's Gate 3, partially because her character development is subtle and nuanced like that. She was my choice of romance in my first, and so far only completed playthrough of the game, and I am very happy with that choice. Lae'zel and my character riding off together will always be my personal canon ending to the game.

Bae'zel is my favorite character in the game.

GAMEOLOGY PLEASE Have the parkour experts react to Rooftops and alleys when it comes out on may 21st

Damn SHE IS A BEAUTY!!!!

Wonder what was it like playing with a character you brought to life? The character did give the most logical opinions.

She is a powerful companion to have but I always go "Ugh shut up Lae'zel" but im always with her in my party. Because I need her abrasive words.
