Baldur’s Gate 3 revealed a tall, literally bleached female Tiefling named Karlach ready to kick some ass in a tattered barbarian outfit, so of course the internet in love She’ll become a party member or protagonist when the game launches from early access on August 3rd, but in the meantime, there’s plenty of posts raving about her, and just as much fan art to match.
“hello???? buff tiefling lady karlach???? HELLO???”, editor-in-chief of Gayming magazine tweeted Aimee Hart excitedly after disclosure.
“beware, all you disastrous bisexuals,” tweeted @mollygos. “meet Karlach”. Attached is a quote from Larian writer Sarah Baylus that says: “[Karlach would] she rolled up on a Harley with shades and a cigar between her teeth blaring Sabbath – a diesel-infused dynamo with a heart of gold. She seeks justice for the oppressed, camaraderie and revenge on the bastard who sold her to hell.”
Karlach is the protagonist, which means you can play as her… but then you can’t romance her, and PlayStation teased that “you may see different romantic scenes for several of these characters during replays.”
It might be better to prepare your first playthrough with an entirely original character to get the full experience of awkwardly flirting with a woman who’s used to being called ‘the devil’ and who PlayStation says “can destroy anything she touches , and that includes you.” Emphasis on the awkward then, eh?
“karlach baldurs gate 3 if you’re free this thursday i’m free this thursday–“, tweeted @crankigay.
“BARK OF VOCA”, tweeted @umbrabrae. Don’t worry, we’ve all been there.
Unfortunately, if you’re on PlayStation, you’ll have to wait a little longer to fall in love with Karlach, as he won’t be launching until September 6th. For those using Xbox, however, there is currently no date as Larian works to ensure the game will work. good on the S series. But for PC players, it’s only a month before you can really poke around with Karlach.
