Baldur's Gate 3 is here, and it is sexy, thanks in large part to the cast who brought its often-horny heroes to life. But I think we all know that it is, in fact, the villains and antiheroes who hold the real sex appeal most of the time, and this RPG is no exception. Which is why we needed to ask the performers behind the very villainous Orin the Red and the only slightly villainous Astarion what it takes to bring bad guys to life in a way that feels both real and alluring.
We spoke to Orin actor Maggie Robertson and Astarion actor Neil Newbon separately, but there are some notable connections in their experiences on Baldur's Gate 3, and the two actors had at least one big link in the past, too. They previously played two of Resident Evil Village's biggest bads in Lady Dimitrescu and Karl Heisenberg, so they know a thing or two about bringing captivating villains to life.
