It's been a year and a half since Baldur's Gate 3 launched, but from how much we're still talking about it, you would have thought it released yesterday. It's hard to overstate the impact of Larian's stint in Faerûn, but you don't need to tell that to Jennifer English. When we last sat down for an interview – just weeks before Baldur's Gate 3's release – the Shadowheart actor was thrilled with her performance, but like many of us, had no idea just how much the game would blow up.
Fast-forward, and English has been selected for this year's BAFTA Breakthrough – a Netflix-supported initiative that supports emerging talent – because of her role as Shadowheart. "My life has changed completely since last we spoke," English tells GamesRadar+, grinning. "I've been traveling the world, meeting fans because of Baldur's Gate 3, and have gone from complete absurdity to being recognized on the street! [...] This has probably been the best year of my life."
