Baldur’s Gate 3 Reveals Antagonist Voice Acted by Jason Isaacs

The CRPG Baldur’s Gate 3 unveils another famous voice this time Jason Isaacs taking up the role of an antagonist.

Isaacs is the latest of the talented lineup to join the cast of Baldur’s Gate 3. This now includes J.K. Simmons known for Whiplash and Spider-Man.

The Steel Watchers are an interesting group in BG3, as they comprised of magical clockwork warriors. Yes, you heard that right, not only are they mechanical, they are magical. These mechanical marvels have been designed to protect the city. Lord Enver Gortash is enlisted to help find the recent missing designer of the Steel Watchers, Duke Ravengard.

But there’s a power struggle at hand, between the factions that are trying to gain control of the city. Players will be thrust into a place where it’s difficult to weed out the unsavoury characters from the lot. Gortash is being “mischaracterized as a villain” says Jason Isaacs. The world has not been kind to this character who has learnt to “lie better” in order to manoeuvre its brutal outcomes.

I think this is going could be anenemywe love to hate, as Isaacs teases he found ways to make the players “hate him more”. But it might not be as straightforward as we think. The game is shaping up to have quite a talented cast.
