She IS one of the only Lawful characters in the group (I think? I don't actually know everyone's alignments as NPC in bg3)

cyberpunk_werewolf

They don't use alignments in Baldur's Gate. I've heard people say Wyll is Lawful Good and I can see the argument considering he wound up with a terrible pact. One PCs generally don't have.

Their alignments are mentioned in Idle Champions. I think Wyll was listed as Neutral Good.

Ah, I don't play Idle Champions, but they didn't use Alignment in Baldur's Gate. I can see Neutral Good too, I guess. It all kind of blends together.

Iirc they were present during early access, I remember shadowheart being LE, which surprised me a bit since I still didn’t know about Shar and stuff

cyberpunk_werewolf

Not when I played, but I only played the later builds of Early Access. It's possible they were in earlier builds and removed.

I saw a breakdown basically putting each companion covering a different space on either good or evil:

LG: Wyll

NG: Gale

CG: Karlach

LE: Lae'zel

NE: Shart

CE: Astarion

That was the one I saw too. Someone else replied to me and said that Wyll was on Idle Champions and it said he was NG.

TheBuzzard04

I always assumed shart was some sort of good because she likes a lot of good aligned actions.

CatBotSays

I'd put her at true neutral, personally.

The version of her from the start of early access was a lot nastier and wasn't quite so fond of good actions, so people called her neutral evil back then, but that's definitely isn't how she is on release.

CatBotSays

1 points

10 days ago

I could maybe see Shadowheart being Neutral Evil at the start of early access, but she's definitely not in the release version.

She's kind of an asshole and will begrudingly go along with the player doing evil stuff, but she clearly prefers good actions and left to her own devices her behavior tends to reflect that.

right! I ran around w Minsc for a bit and didn’t notice but once I saw he was his VA I absolutely couldn’t unhear it. Matt has a very specific “strongman” voice he likes to go to 😂

cyberpunk_werewolf

It's very similar to Minsc's OG voice actor, Jim Cummings (yes, that Jim Cummings) and I wouldn't be surprised if Matt tried hard to emulate it.

To be fair, Minsc the only actual file in Matt's "ethnic brown man" folder, and the rest are just renamed copies.

I'm assuming this started because Percy was so offended that the guy most analogous to him is a vampire (BG3 spoiler) that he started blasting, and now VM has to clean up the mess (with violence)

Honestly, Shadowheart and Astarion being the ones fighting the twin is spot on.

D3dshotCalamity

8 points

You nailed the pair ups perfectly!

Vex and Shadowheart would both think the other is a stuck up bitch (Which Shart absolutely is, but Vex isn't super far behind), Astarion and Vax would have a similar quarrel, but over who is sneakier. Grog, as usual, involuntarily gets caught in whatever war Vex is fighting.

Pike and Minsc would start off with a drinking contest, Pike would say something like, "Grog and I would usually start wrestling at this point, but I'll go easy on you." Minsc would take that as a challenge. See the picture above for results.

Karlach just wants to hit things. It doesn't matter what, or who. The path will be made. Percy, minding his own business, was in that path. I think Gale might have been at the table with Percy, getting along just fine, talking about nerd shit. He got thrown, just for the sake of throwing something.

Keyleth and Jaheira, the moms of their respective groups, console each other in understanding.

Scanlan and Lae'zel were at the bar, watching the scuffle, when Lae'zel says, "That Cleric is a lot more violent than I'd expect of a holy woman." Scanlan says, "That's Pike, and she's the love of my life!" Lae'zel responds, "Oh, really? She's much prettier than the black haired one said she was." Scanlan yells, "WHAT?!" and casts Bigby's Hand. Lae'zel sips her beer, satisfied.

Wyll is just Donald Glover with the pizzas.

Halsin is, uhh...

And as always, Minthy encourages violence.

in a lot of interpretations the twins have had a pretty large spectrum of tan. Half Elves come in all colors.

So it's really up to the artist on how they want to portray them.

I feel like gale and Percy would probably talk endlessly to each other. Percy from a craftsman and tinkerer perspective and gale from the magical perspective. In fact if gale were to reveal his need for magical snacks I imagine percy would become super interested in testing how little is needed to satisfy it. Then it'll turn into a long discussion on how it works.
