Baldur's Gate 3 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 actor Jennifer English wouldn't opt to play Larian Studios' Dungeons & Dragons RPG as is – she says she'd rather respec Shadowheart, her own character.

English, who plays Shadowheart in Baldur's Gate 3, reveals as much in a new video from Fall Damage on YouTube. While competing in a "Shadowheart quiz" alongside her partner and performance director Aliona Baranova, she correctly responds to a question regarding the race, class, and subclass of Shadowheart. As English recalls, Shadowheart is canonically a half-elf Trickery Domain Cleric – but that's not how the actor prefers her.
