Samantha Béart, renowned for voicing Karlach in Baldur's Gate 3, shares personality traits with the character, allowing for a relatable performance. They provided over 260 hours of motion capture, which led to a BAFTA nomination and a Game Audio Network Guild award for best voice performance. Béart expresses a shared sense of injustice with Karlach, who embodies vigilante justice. They reflect on how the actors imagined themselves in their characters' scenarios while maintaining an awareness of their fantastical and sometimes criminal aspects. Loyalty is a key trait of Karlach's character, which Béart finds resonant.
"We both have red buttons for injustice, as a lot of people do. There's a lot to be very upset about [in the world] right now, but Karlach's allowed to do vigilante justice, so I'm a bit jealous about that."
"Obviously, the actual circumstances of [Karlach's] life are a weenie bit different from mine. Didn't serve 10 years in the Blood Wars myself, but I can imagine myself in her situation."
