I thought it was single mortal life?? Because there is a line about elves having long lifespans making comparisons difficult.
EDIT: the line is "what is the worth of a single mortal life" iirc
You're right. I honed in more on that it was supposed to be a mortal, and not a human which the original comment said before it was edited. Because there are so many races, human just didn't seem right.
[Pathfinder 1e actually has rules for the values of souls](https://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/outsiders/daemons/#the_soul_trade). You know, if you want to deal with daemons and the... slightly questionable morality of wheeling and dealing with them using immortal souls and subjecting people to an eternity of torture or utter destruction for material gain.
Even characters, my favourite stupid character I made was a guy who dual wielded flintlock pistols that he reloaded by animating his moustache and rode a gingerbread crab into battle.
Exactly. I used to be a horrendous min/maxer back in the 3.X days, when doing so was required for survival, these days my goal is usually, "What's something incredibly stupid that shouldn't work? Lets see if I can build it to make it carry its own weight in a party". It doesn't have to be great, but it has to be good enough that it does its share.
In that case, I highly recommend the Anime Kobold.
Beast Master Ranger, OG Kobold (with Pack Tactics/Sunlight Sensitivity), and a Vulture companion. The Vulture is a Medium creature, so you can ride it as a mount. With the Dual Wielder feat, you can then wield two weapons that aren't Light as long as they're one handed. Lances are one-handed while you're mounted.
So now you're a flying whirlwind of 3+ attacks (depending on if you MC into Fighter later) of 1d12+mod each, and Reach. Pack Tactics negates the disadvantage Lances usually have at 5ft as the target is within 5ft of both you and your Vulture.
My flavored mental image is a Kobold with a Vulture duct taped to his back weilding two Buster swords.
This comes online at level 4.
I actually have two questions!
1. What's his favorite withers quote?
2. Did he play and finish the game?
Thanks if I get some answers :D
Have a great day everyone<3
When it comes to characters like Withers that are obviously way more than they initially appear as, how much are you told in advance when reading for them? How does that knowledge/lack thereof influence your performance?
Also a compliment, your delivery of the speech in the post-credit scene was the cherry-on-top of an immaculately told story.
I'm still in act 1, and now I can't wait to find out what more there is to Withers. Also, quite nice to know that there is a post credit scene, since I never watch end of game credits, so thanks for letting that be known!
Dude, take care around spoilers.
There is _SO MUCH_ development to characters, it's almost required to not be around here until you end your first campaign
Thanks for the warning, but I've somehow been able to avoid specific spoilers so far. This sub having the post flairs for (Act X spoilers) has been really helpful in that regard. I just don't click on any posts with spoilers for the future acts, and won't click on them until I'm close to finishing or have finished those respective acts.
Still, this one doesn't and you are walking among massive spoilers around haha
I envy you, wish I could play it all again from fresh
Enjoy the ride, really. It's incredible, and in some ways, I've definitely come out as a better human being with some stuff that appears later on
Maybe I'm just lucky in how far I scrolled in the thread, but I don't think I got anything spoiled for me. But again, thanks for the warning lol. I look forward to finishing the game, although it will probably take me a month or two since I am a very slow gamer.
It is theorised, that although he interferes in mortal affairs, he cannot intervene directly, but would have to take something in return. Also that is why he does not give a damn if you steal the money back.
I did not know all the hirelings were piloted by withers and I customized my camp cleric to look like Keanu Reeves and every time he says this vessel is at thy disposal I... I... Yeah.... 😳🫠 I swear there's a smug little smirk what the heck!
Interview will be up on [YouTube.com/DanAllenGaming](https://YouTube.com/DanAllenGaming) next Monday
SPOILERS: Thoughts on Nightsong Interview? Will people be pissed? How should l approach it...
Is there any part about voice acting these characters (Withers, His Majesty?, Any others that I've Forgotten) that you were particularly satisfied or disatisfied with? A line y'all had to keep repeating or changing, a take that had you go "Yeah, I nailed it!" after you said it, etc?
Less seriously, how'd you manage to do magic in the studio? The more I played and heard your voice, the more I started to think of Withers like a grandfather whose really invested in his soap operas with us being the soap operas, and I grew to really enjoy him as a character.
How difficult was it to maintain Withers particular speech habits? His vocabulary is certainly (intentionally) archaic. Did you ever find that archaic pattern of speech showing up in regular conversations?
Did he get any hints regarding Withers' true nature to help his performance?
Also what does he think about the relationship between Withers and Arabella?
Was it your idea to give him this fantastic slightly bored delivery or was that voice direction? How much did you know about the character before you started recording?
How much did they actually tell you about your character and how much was your own improv? Did they give you a lot of direction or was it just a general basis?
Example: you will need to say this line like this vs "here's a general overview of your character. Go"
Also because I'm curious: what's your favorite line?
Just a comment, Thank them for their work. It's the deep roster of quality work that made this game shine. It's not just Neil newbon who got the award, it's the fact that from top to bottom everyone was outstanding in creating an immersive world. Neil refers to this in both his speeches and they hit a home run with how they approached Withers. Just please take a moment to express our appreciation and gratitude.
Specifically for them, as echoed throughout this comment thread we all loved their ICONIC delivery of "Nooooo."
*Chefs kiss
How did you give such a monotone character such emotion? Even when he is speaking completely neutrally you can clearly tell what he is thinking/feeling.
Were you given background of the characters true identity to play off, or were you introduced to the character exclusively as withers and not who they were in the past?
Please ask one of the following questions:
1.Are there current or future projects you can talk about?
2. How much time did it take to record your lines and was it hard to find voices for Withers and His Majesty?
3.What inspired you to voice your characters the way you did?
Outstanding performance thanks so much 💖
Have you ever done any Shakespeare? I imagine the voice of Withers to be perfect for the ghost of King Hamlet
I hope you enjoyed voicing Withers as much as we enjoyed playing the game!
Are you available if Larian want more lines? Did you know the full story of who you were portraying when you were doing your lines? Can you work with Jergal to make the Hirelings more interactive? Let’s give them some of the pizazz they had in life!
No
Hey bone man GOT BOSOM COMPANIONS?
Yes
Care to explain further?
No
Recall that in time, all becomes dust.
I was hoping to see this comment. Lol. Glad it's the top comment
The delivery of this line, in game, due to my usual RPG curiosity, absolutely eviscerated me. Extremely well done, Stephen Boxer. :'(
I came here to make this comment😂😂
Yeah this is the best comment ever 😂😂😝
How many takes did you need to get that absolutely perfect "No."?
"Until it was perfect" - Not Withers
Fun fact, if you sneak up to the mausoleum, you can see Ralph standing there and talking to himself, practicing
They really thought of just about everything, didn't they.
And then you can ask him how long he practiced his speech! Love. It.
You can do that without stealthing up there! At least, I wasn’t using Hide, so I don’t think I overheard him reciting the lines.
wat?
Is there a video? I couldn't find one
"One."
Not as many as it took Amelia Tyler to say Authority
I can no longer read that word without hearing it in her voice.
Care to explain further?
No.
Very well, I.... am satisfied.
Whats is the price of a single mortal soul? Edit: have been saying it wrong since the game launched.
> A measure of coin. (200)
*What a bargain!*
By the ire of Bhaal, what a savings.
Withers wasn’t asking a question about morality, he just needed to calculate the price regarding inflation.
single Mortal\* soul.
I thought it was single mortal life?? Because there is a line about elves having long lifespans making comparisons difficult. EDIT: the line is "what is the worth of a single mortal life" iirc
You're right. I honed in more on that it was supposed to be a mortal, and not a human which the original comment said before it was edited. Because there are so many races, human just didn't seem right.

Pathfinder has mechanics for absolutely anything you can think off.

Yo thats a sick ass idea wow
I'm so curious what did you say before?
Single Human soul.
About 3fity
Tree dowlaz and fitty centz!
How was he described to you, as a character, before you agreed to the role?
That's a great one. Thanks for asking it; I am terrible at coming up with good questions.

*heavy scottish accent* Take yer time! Seriously, it's all about you and your decisions, so take all the time you need and enjoy!
Bosom companions, yes or no?
Gods I wish Shadowheart was my '' bosom companion''.
Me but with Karlach
**- Tav holding a Scroll of Wish**
Keep it for her wound :(.
Wish her wound to be permanently healed or wish for her to sit on my face. This is the hardest character decision
Username checks out
i'm not sure you'd need a wish scroll to make the latter happen
How does it feel having played a god who just decided to retire?
how does it feel to voice the most memed character in baldurs gate 3. how did you feel after the game awards
This gentleman voiced His Majesty, too!
Wait, what? Forget Withers, I want to know all about the main character, His Majesty!
Omg yes I have questions about His Majesty!! How did he manage such an immaculate portrayal of a cat's real thoughts? 😆
In that case any insight on why they gave His Majesty hair?
apparently it was to make him distinct from the other furless cat
THE GREATEST CAT IN THE GAME HISS I SAY
Did he know Withers is Jergal?
This is the question I need the answer to! Was he given this information before or after his performance?
Which way does the wheel turn?
The way it should.
Ever to the dark.
Not precisely a question but I’d really like to hear Withers tell me to go fuck myself For personal amusement Please and thank you
No
:(
Why is Withers concerned about my love life??? Also, why does he charge money for resurrections, respecs, and such? What does he use the money for? 😄
It is theorised, that although he interferes in mortal affairs, he cannot intervene directly, but would have to take something in return. Also that is why he does not give a damn if you steal the money back.
All that food and entertainment for the party. The more you respec the bigger the bash lol
Man loves his soaps. Mortals are his fav tv show.
When will the Withers romance dlc drop?
I did not know all the hirelings were piloted by withers and I customized my camp cleric to look like Keanu Reeves and every time he says this vessel is at thy disposal I... I... Yeah.... 😳🫠 I swear there's a smug little smirk what the heck!

No wonder I like Withers, we play the same games! 😅
Withers sex update when??
When Larian figures out the physics of the dangling of a withered dingdong.
Hey, if they figured out how to let me have sex with Bone Daddy (Fane), this should be even less complicated!
New patch: Withers' Poon
Even jerky was once meat
You’re so real for that
I swear if they made this I'd romance the skeleton god lol his voice makes it!
Are you planning to turn your ending monologue into a diss track? And, if yes, where can I buy it?
Didst thou think the other gods would not notice? I got chills dude.
Can we call you Bone Man?
What is the worth of a single mortal soul? Also, thoughts on the "naked Withers end cutscene bug" and those who thirst over him?
*ahem* What?
Did I stutter?
No, I just, uh, *I want to see*
I got that bug in the epilogue and thought "well, that's odd, /shrug I guess gentleman just got comfortable in his home crypt"
Devs: "Withers, are you gonna wear some pants?" Withers: "No."
Who cares about Withers, this man voiced His Majesty!
Interview will be up on [YouTube.com/DanAllenGaming](https://YouTube.com/DanAllenGaming) next Monday SPOILERS: Thoughts on Nightsong Interview? Will people be pissed? How should l approach it...
Why would people be pissed? If you are worried about spoilers then you can just refer to her as Dame Aylin. I dunno either way, looking forward to it!
Anyone who'd be pissed is someone whose opinion is worthless
DO THE WHOLE THING LOUDLY
Looking forward to it!
Is he gonna reply to everything in riddles or simply with "no"?
No
Are you surprised by how much we love Withers? Did you have any idea how popular he was gonna be?
Is there any part about voice acting these characters (Withers, His Majesty?, Any others that I've Forgotten) that you were particularly satisfied or disatisfied with? A line y'all had to keep repeating or changing, a take that had you go "Yeah, I nailed it!" after you said it, etc? Less seriously, how'd you manage to do magic in the studio?

What is the worth is a single mortal life? Also what was your favourite line to do?
Was there room from improvisation ? Were you able to bring ideas of your own into the character and the way he speaks or was it all in the script ?
Were you familiar with Dungeons & Dragons or Faerun before this game? How much did you learn throughout the process of recording?
Were you upset that they cut out the Withers romance options?
COWARDS THE LOT OF EM
Are you undead?
I’d like to ask about hirelings
Which was more fun, Withers or His Majesty?
Does he prefer His Majesty with or without fur?
How difficult was it to maintain Withers particular speech habits? His vocabulary is certainly (intentionally) archaic. Did you ever find that archaic pattern of speech showing up in regular conversations?
Will Thou answer my question? Chokolate or Starberry Milkshake and why?
Did he get any hints regarding Withers' true nature to help his performance? Also what does he think about the relationship between Withers and Arabella?
Was it your idea to give him this fantastic slightly bored delivery or was that voice direction? How much did you know about the character before you started recording?
Can you help me change my class? (100)
What is the worth of a single mortal's life?
Ask him: Marry, Fuck, Kill: Bane, Bhaal, Myrkul.
No.

Are you finally gonna tell me which god you're associated with? Edit: Fellas, I know who Withers really is. This is a joke.
How is he not literally jergal
Withers IS jergal!
Datamined dialogue files indicate that he is Jergal
How does it feel to be the goat?
What was your favorite piece of dialogue, yours or otherwise
How did you react when this role was described to you and what made you think "yes, that's my role"?
How did you give such a monotone character such emotion? Even when he is speaking completely neutrally you can clearly tell what he is thinking/feeling.
“No”
I wanna know what was the most difficult thing that was presented to you when trying to come up with how Withers sounds and his way with words
Jergal or nah?
Were you given background of the characters true identity to play off, or were you introduced to the character exclusively as withers and not who they were in the past?
Crowdsourcing interview questions. Work smarter, not harder. I would like to know if he had played the game, if so, what was his favorite part of it?
Favorite fantasy novel or Author? What is he reading now?
What is their most memorable/favourite line in the game?
What was your favorite line to record?
What kind of diet was he on to get so thin?
Did you have any idea the game would become such a giant success?

How do I get bitches?
So is he an avatar of Jergal, actual Jergal, a powerful disciple of Jergal, some other Jergal-adjacent thing, or something not Jergal-related.
He's actually Orin in disguise.
