Baldur’s Gate 3 streamer accidentally kills Lae’zel in front of her own actress
Larian StudiosBaldur’s Gate 3 streamer Luality was dumbfounded after a bad dice roll led to Lae’zel’s death just minutes after the character’s actress, Devora Wilde, raided her stream.
Since its release, Baldur’s Gate 3 has been popular among streamers, with even the game’s cast getting in on the fun.
Actors like Neil Newbon (Astarion), Jennifer English (Shadowheart), and Devora Wilde (Lae’zel) are among those who have shared their adventures through the game with fans, with wacky hijinks often ensuing as the actors interact with their characters.
However, one Baldur’s Gate 3 streamer got the shock of her life when Devora Wilde raided her stream – just minutes before Lae’zel met her unexpected end.

Following a recent stream, Wilde chose to raid Luality’s channel with her audience. The latter was in the midst of an Honor Mode run while playing as Origin character Astarion and was clearly thrilled to be raided by “Bae’zel.”
Things quickly took a turn, though, upon reaching the Act 1 scene when Astarion asks to drink from a companion – in this case, Lae’zel.
Whether you’re playing as Astarion or his dinner, the roll to get him to stop is pretty simple, in this case requiring just a DC 5 saving throw. However, when Luality attempted a Wisdom roll to pull away, she got a 4, resulting in Astarion killing Lae’zel.
Losing a companion in this way is, of course, already upsetting enough without the pressure of the character’s own performer watching. And, since this is Honor Mode, Lae’zel is, unfortunately, lost forever, at least where this run is concerned.
While most players likely made it past this part without incident, this isn’t the only time this scene has thrown a wrench in someone’s stream. Astarion’s own actor, Neil Newbon, had his Tav killed this way following an unfortunate nat 1, though luckily he was able to revive the character with the help of Withers.
