Baldur’s Gate 3 is famous for its intense romance scenes, leaving even the voice actors of its cherished characters somewhat unprepared for what they encountered. In a recent chat on ReadyAimFire on YouTube, one of the very companions in the game, voiced by Devora Wilde, expressed her amazement upon discovering the game’s optional nudity filters.
Wilde, who brings to life the fiery Githyanki Fighter Lae’zel, candidly mentioned that in Larian Studios’ celebrated RPG, “we don’t leave anything at the door.” She added, “Sometimes, if you have the filters set to ‘off,’ you see quite a lot.” Her surprise at the more explicit content was clear. “I was shocked,” she chuckles, reflecting on her initial unawareness of these filter settings.
For someone like Wilde, who also streams the game, these settings are crucial, prompting her to keep the filters activated. However, without these filters, encounters with more passionate characters, such as Minthara, could become quite intense. “Have you done the Minthara romance?” she queries, hinting at the steamy progression players experience.
As an avid fan of the RPG, it’s likely that many gamers choose to keep the nudity filter off—for research purposes, naturally.
In other surprising behind-the-scenes tidbits, did you know that Devora Wilde was recording just two days before delivering her baby? “My waters broke after the session,” she shared, proving once more you never know what might be happening off-screen.
