Baldur’s Gate 3 has been out for over two years now, but fans’ enthusiasm for the sprawling RPG remains strong–as is the case with one fan who has spent untold hours documenting and quantifying all the spoken dialogue in the game.
Redditor Everwhite-moonlight has taken the time to catalogue the game’s extensive spoken dialogue fans, calling the labor-intensive task a celebration of Larian’s work. The finished spreadsheet arranges the characters in order from most to least speaking time, which reveals just how much our vampire friend Astarion loves to talk.
It’s unsurprising that Amelia Tyler’s Narrator, whose voice is ever-present through Baldur’s Gate 3 as the game’s pseudo-DM, has the most lines of dialogue, clocking in at a total of 14 hours and 43 minutes of speaking time. What is surprising is how (relatively) close behind her Astarion sits, with a whopping 13 hours and 6 minutes of dialogue for the Neil Newbon-voiced vampire companion.
