Baldur’s Gate 3 players sing the praises of the game’s most underrated NPC
Baldur's Gate 3Some of the Baldur’s Gate 3 community is taking the time to praise one of the most underrated NPC’s in the game: Withers.
There are a lot of characters to interact with in Baldur’s Gate 3, and it’s easy for some of them to slip through the cracks when discussing the game.
Take Withers, for example, an undead NPC who resides at players’ camps throughout the story. He’s well-loved, but rarely spoken about like Shadowheart or Karlach.
But now, some of the community is taking to the internet to give Withers his dues as a character that is a joy to talk to.
Baldur’s Gate 3 players praise underrated NPC Withers
A post was recently made to the Baldur’s Gate 3 subreddit, titled: “It needs to be said.” where OP explained why they resonate most with Withers.
The post explains that Withers, the “dry ballsac looking mf*cker”, needs to be celebrated, even among the rest of the strong characters in the game: “His deadpan delivery of lines just kills me every time.”
The responses agree with the thought, and most Baldur’s Gate 3 players give credit to his personality and dry sense of humor as to why he’s so lovable.
“When Arabella tries to be his friend, it’s my favorite. It’s very similar how I am with small children that I am not related to.”
Some people are even comparing Withers to people they may know in the real world, with one user describing: “Withers gives same energy as that former ceo at work who should be enjoying his retirement going fishing and tending to his garden, but instead has to be called in the office because his successors have messed up and he now needs to clean up after their mess plus train the new recruits from scratch to replace them.”
Withers is so likeable as a character, that one player even mentions how the character they made in order to romance Astarion ended up going after Withers instead. He’s one of many Baldur’s Gate 3 characters fans of the game have begun to appreciate more and more as time has gone on.
