Baldur's Gate 3 Shadowheart actor says she would have "absolutely f***ing floundered" if she were cast in Larian's RPG at the start of her career: "It's so overwhelming"

A couple of years have passed now since Larian Studios released Baldur's Gate 3 into the wild, but the behemoth RPG hasn't left the limelight – and unsurprisingly, nor has its talented cast, with actors still sharing their experience working on the D&D-inspired gem.

Shadowheart actor Jennifer English is beloved for her skill and role as the unapologetically perfect half-elf – but her work on Baldur's Gate 3 was anything but easy. The actor reveals as much in a new interview at Rhode Island Comic Con 2025, explaining that she wouldn't have been able to ace the role as she did recently if she had tried to take it on toward the start of her career. According to English, it just would've been too much.
