Baldur's Gate 3 Karlach actor says cast members are still underrated by video game developers, who see them "as outsources for a lot of the time": "There's a weird disconnect"

Baldur's Gate 3.

Of course each actor in Baldur's Gate 3 is magnetic – there must be a reason you can romance so many of them – but Karlach actor Samantha Béart tells GamesRadar+ video game cast members are still often undervalued by developers. That's disappointing, since fans feel so differently.

"There's a weird disconnect," Béart reflects during the Golden Joystick Awards 2025, "between, maybe, developers' attitude towards where we fit in the ecosystem – where we're not actually part of the team – versus the players, who very much see us as the forefront. More like film and TV."
