Baldurs Gate Karlach - Blog Posts

Some Karlach doodles because she’s best girl and I love her

I haven’t talked about this but I need to:

So, I played BG3 when it was in pre-release for Mac, and I wasn’t very well-versed in all the characters. I was only aware of the four main (Gale, Astarion, Shadowheart and Lae’zel). I don’t even know if Karlach was around when I first started playing.

But when it fully re-leased and I could play it for real, I decided to just recreate my pre-release Tav for my full game…

Y’know.

A barbarian tiefling with an undercut on one side and red skin.

Who, I originally drew as having one horn half chipped off.

Y’know.

Exactly like Karlach?

And then when I encountered Karlach and realised, oh damn, she’d be fun to date?

I couldn’t.

Because I travel with my most important people and having two barbarian teiflings seemed like a waste.

So, I had to silently suffer as I made it through the acts, and ended up making an entire new character with the same actions as my original, just to seduce Karlach and have her on my team.

I’m trialing posting my TikToks on here so please enjoy my wyll/ karlach video

i am so obsessed with this woman

abby anderson and abby coded characters

i can’t exactly put my finger on it but Karlach is so Abby Anderson coded, they’re both such cuties i love them. i feel like they have similar energy

I feel like this was only briefly touched by a few people a couple months ago but it lives rent free in my head so now I need to spill.

Baldur's gate companions but make them self aware.

Dnd is already a game on crack and bg3 is probably no exception.

In game there already some lines that are vaguely 4th wall breaking, the first one is obviously with Karlach who we so far know has a scene where she asks questions about her, us, and the game. And sometimes you might be able to catch some characters finish talking only to then look over towards the camera, *cough, cough, Astarion, Raphael, cough*.

So many options to choose as to HOW they got the self-awareness is probably a goldmine for writers

The tadpoles is the first that comes to mind. Mindflayers travel between planes of reality as is, so I don't doubt that the little hitchhiker in their heads could tell if some plane shifting is going on with Tav.

My personal favorite, Save Scuming. In a game with literally a hundred hours or more of content were you are actively encouraged to replay it different ways. I would not be shocked that over the course of the hundreds of saves you reloaded because the dice didn't roll in your favor or new campaigns you started that eventually all the pieces start clicking into place for some of the companions.

Honestly there could be more but I'm drawing blanks of ideas but I might be tempted to write about the self-aware from constantly saving because that seems like fun.
