Jennifer English, the voice behind Shadowheart in Baldur’s Gate 3, recently shared a humorous anecdote with Radio Times about her recording sessions. It turns out that one of the character’s memorable lines originated from a spontaneous joke by the actress herself.

After delivering a line about Night Orchids, English playfully added, “Just kidding!” accompanied by finger gun gestures. The actress was convinced that such an improvisation wouldn’t make it into the final game, but to her surprise, Larian Studios decided to keep it, much to the delight of many fans.
