Baldur’s Gate 3’s Auntie Ethel is inspired by a real grandmother

Baldur’s Gate 3’s Auntie Ethel is inspired by a real grandmother

Baldur’s Gate 3 is teeming with foes that want to either tear you asunder, or yeet you off of a cliff on your third attempt at trying to free The Nightsong (I’m not over it). One, however, is Auntie Ethel, the RPG game‘s seemingly harmless grandma. But don’t let that Irish accent fool you – trust me when I’ll say you’ll end up wondering how to beat Auntie Ethel in Baldur’s Gate 3 because she’s pretty damn strong. It turns out, however, that the woman who inspired Baldur’s Gate 3‘s resident pensioner is just as tough as her virtual persona.
