Baldur’s Gate 3 is one of the most meticulously designed games in history. The attention to detail is so great that players are still discovering parts of it nine months after its launch, like how seemingly every character has their own unique way of casting magic and using abilities.

8 Incredibly Hidden Interactions Revealed That Players Are Missing // Larian: Baldur's Gate 3 (NEW).

These details were mentioned in an April 29th Reddit thread discussing the game's spellcasting and how it "has so much damn detail." The thread creator only cited a few examples to prove their point, such as Gale and other wizards' perfect movements when casting spells, which shows off their knowledge and control over magic. They also mentioned how all of the characters have unique voice lines for spellcasting, even those with few spells like Karlach and Lae'Zel.

Players commenting on the thread also provided their own examples. One noted that all of the original characters have unique voice actors for casting Barbarian Rage. Another pointed out how party members use the tadpole powers in different ways, even holding their heads when ending the action to indicate the tadpole’s effect on them. Another noted that not only do Bards have unique animations and effects for each instrument, but Larian also added whistling sounds and animations for when a Bard runs without an instrument equipped.

Baldur's Gate 3 focuses heavily on gameplay variety, and depending on the composition of your party, the races of your characters, and their personalities, the game will respond differently. As many users in the thread have pointed out, in Act One, Auntie Ethel will cast Vicious Mockery differently on each character, depending on the aforementioned factors. This adds a lot of immersion and makes players really feel like their decisions and characters have an impact on the game and its fantastical world.
