With the imminent release ofBaldur’s Gate 3next week, Larian have released another villain spotlight video showcasing the RPG juggernaut’s final character in its trio of antagonists, and Lady Dimitrescu actor Maggie Robertson will be playing her. Hell yeah. Orin the Red is an angry, evil, shapeshifting lady who seems to have a major chip on her shoulder and a lust for destruction and blood. The video doesn’t go too much into Orin’s role in BG3 beyond the fact that she’s super evil, but if you’d like to see snippets of Robertson as Orin in action you can watch the video below:

In the video, Robertson chats about Orin’s character, sharing that she finds her “affectionately unhinged” but also describes her having an “intimate relationship with her blades” which sounds, uhh, scary.
Robterson’s performance as Lady Dimitrescu inResident Evil Villagewas excellent (and won her a bunch of awards including Best Performance at the2021 Game Awards) so I’m keen to see her as Orin. I particularly love that bit in the video where she unleashes an incredibly evil cackle.
Baldur’s Gate 3releasing is a Big. Deal. So if you can’t wait for next week the threequel is available now in early access onSteamfor £50/€60/$60 - just beware that your saves won’t carry over to the final release version.
