Baldur's Gate 3 features the voice of Geralt of Rivia, and surprise surprise, everyone's making the same joke.
Developer Larian has published Community Update #22 for Baldur's Gate 3 on Steam. In a section focusing on the actors behind the RPG's cast, Larian very casually reveals that Doug Cockle, famed for portraying Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher 3, will be portraying an unknown character in Baldur's Gate 3.
Upon making this discovery, the Baldur's Gate community all have the same joke to make. "WHAT NOW, YOU PIECE OF FILTH," reads the top comment underneath the Reddit post below, echoing a line we've heard a million times from the famed Witcher himself, when he dives headlong into combat with a horrible beast or two.
"Damn, you're ugly," is another classic Geralt quip we've all heard a dozen or more times by now in The Witcher 3, as is "Winds Howling." Admittedly the first two of those quotes are directly aimed at things or people Geralt is about to kill, while the final quote of the three is decidedly more chill.
"Lol perfect, I planned to name my first character dandelion , and its a bard," reads another Reddit comment. For viewers of the Netflix Witcher TV series, "Dandelion" is the sort of alter ego of Jaskier in the CD Projekt games. The two characters are mediums apart, but equally flamboyant by nature.
Baldur's Gate 3 is out later this week on August 3 for PC, and next month on September 6 for PS5 players, after nearly three years of early access on PC.

The Witcher season 3 may have just come to an end on Netflix, but it’s elsewhere in the Witcher universe that the latest big news is coming from. On a new livestream Thursday, Witcher author Andrzej Sapkowski said that he’s working on another book in the series, which would be the first one in a decade.
The Witcher producer Tomasz Bagiński has reacted to the ongoing backlash that the Netflix series has faced for changing details from its source material. As many will be aware, the show is based on Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski’s series of books. While it broadly follows these, some elements have been changed, which has been a source of ire from some fans.
One of the most common criticisms of The Witcher on Netflix is that it strays too far from Andrzej Sapkowski's novels. It may have been a source of some tension behind the scenes, too: Former series star Henry Cavill made a point of saying he «pushed really, really hard» to stay true to the books, while also claiming that some of the writers on the show «actively disliked» them. There's no question that some aspects of the novel have been simplified for the TV show, and in an interview with Polish site Wyborcza (translated by Witcher fan site Redanian Intelligence), executive producer Tomek Baginski explained why some of those changes were made: "[A] higher level of nuance and complexity will have a smaller range."
The second and final issue of DC's Knight Terrors: The Joker miniseries, published this week, delves deeper into the fantasy world conjured by new supervillain Insomnia.
Henry Cavill’s final scenes as Geralt of Rivia have now aired as part of the release of The Witcher season 3 volume 2. In them, we see Cavill’s monster hunter walking off into the distance with Jaskier (Joey Batey) and Milva (Meng'er Zhang) as they begin their trek to find Ciri.
I’ve produced a few videos around The Witcher: Old World as well as a couple articles here on the website. A comment I often get is, “You can’t really enjoy this game without the expansions, there isn’t enough content.” So after half a dozen games I’ve decided to revisit those comments and see if I agree or not.
