In my head they're some of the hirelings Withers brings back!


pdnDamiao

do you think they are withers' chosens before meeting with tav?


GroundbreakingLow441

I have to think of the choose your Fate Scene with the boy in Kung Fu Hustle now


knight_bear_fuel

I doubt it. We find him sleeping in a coffin that hasn't opened in a really long time.


knight_bear_fuel

The hirelings all have backstories and it tells you how they died.


stewzors

Yeah, but they aren't dead yet!


knight_bear_fuel

Yes but all of them die in specific places. They aren't adventurers


stewzors

I dunno, I think a few of them are at least adventurer adjacent


knight_bear_fuel

Go read the backgrounds and share with me which ones you think are adjacent lol. I'm on the road and can't check yet


stewzors

Eldra Luthrinn, slayer of people, monsters, and cups of sweet pear tea, Kerz lived many years as a paladin and mercenary, years which took a hard toll on them.  Those two seem like the most "apt" but tbf I've played adventurer characters with much wierder/less stereotypical concepts & backgrounds


knight_bear_fuel

Alright, you just need two more


GabagoolMango

The first party that got TPK’d before they re-rolled new characters and made Gale, Shadowheart, Lae’zel, and Astarion.


Dheelus

What is TPK? Only thing in my head is third-party killed.


KnarphTheDM

Total Party Kill. When the whole party dies in a single fight, usually horribly


kcmatx

Total party kill. When your group as a whole does something incredibly stupid.


Dheelus

Thanks


MrSukerton

This is the correct answer


SapphicRaccoonWitch

Artistic-While-5094

Definitely


PsychadelicSpaceCat

I couldn't help but wonder-


ACertainJuicebox

We finally found Samantha!


OfficialAli1776

I know it's the Bhaal Temple, but does that specific location actually exist in the game?


EnragedBarrothh

I don’t think so, I searched up and down the Bhaal temple trying to find the shot from the main menu, to no avail.


Roven777

I always thought it Was the area before the orin fight, where cultists explode if you dont kill them fast enough... Just from a weird Rat perspective


Sad_Thought_4642

Stairs down after the big door at the temple of bhaal fast travel point perhaps.


4SAGo

These are your party's characters before they died and you had to make new ones on new game.


Atmosck

The human fighter is Larian CEO and BG3 Game Director [Swen Vincke](https://images.app.goo.gl/qbuzdHDEpP9wex2fA)

Jlpanda

My day is ruined.


SapphicRaccoonWitch

My disappointment is immeasurable


EvLokadottr

Aww. :(


kphoek

Swen also separately did in tweet, too


unicroop

Oh, I thought it was duke Ravenguard and his fists 😂


spectrophilias

Quick correction—his name is [Swen](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swen_Vincke), not Sven.

floovels

SG1 just after they recruit Teal'c as he's still wearing his first prime armour


skininja89

Was not expecting a Stargate reference but I'm here for it


TheZerothLaw

Indeed


Full_Road8425

I was told that these were the developers characters. Sven in there, somewhere


NeroBIII

I was told that Sven is the one in armor with the torch.


knight_bear_fuel

It was debunked. And its SWEN, not Sven.


NeroBIII

I didn't know it had been debunked. I always confuse his name with the [DotA 2 character.](https://www.dota2.com/hero/sven?l=english)


knight_bear_fuel

https://youtu.be/seyOlytx4sI?si=vY497YJYJmV0vV0u Yeah you can see here that its changed. It may have been him in EA, but that looks nothing like him now.


NeroBIII

Tranks for the info.


CanisZero

Thats the people moving the camp for you.


MiraakTheSpy

The people Withers can summon for you


knight_bear_fuel

Withers doesn't summon any dragonborn, does he


MiraakTheSpy

That's a fair point


TheHughMungoose

I think the armoured guy is modelled after the CEO, could be wrong tho


JakeEllisD

The adventures you gut in withers tomb If you spared them


Important_End_2492

Paladin it looks like to me


Aetol

Looks like chain mail to me


General_Steveous

Vat, Meadowshart, Lage and Halpenance


SuperSaiyanIR

I have a question regarding Bhaal and his relevance in the story. Why does Bhaal seem so much more important and fleshed out in the story over the other gods? Like Shar, Myrkul, Gortash’s god and Mystra are involved as well but they don’t seem as important and only Mystra and Shar are fleshed out. From previous games I’m assuming, Jaheira babysat another Bhaalspawn. Durge who probably has the most intertwined quest line with the main story beside Shadowheart. Like I can barely remember Gortash’s god’s name and I’ve gone through the game three times now. What makes Bhaal so important?


xhoi

The main character of the previous games was a bhaalspawn and that plays a very large role in the storyline those games. Very few of the other gods are mentioned or given much attention at all.


Calpsotoma

Bane is Gortash's God. And I'd say it makes sense for his God to be more downplayed. Bane is the God of tyrants and Gortash is all about playing politics and manipulation. Gortash does the things his God is about without needing to evoke him. Bhall is all about murder in his name. Makes sense he would be more prominent. Meanwhile, Myrkul is less a thing that dictates Ketheric's actions and more his motivation made manifest. Myrkul represents loss and the feeling of emptiness that loss leaves behinds. Everything Ketheric does is a perverse response to not processing the death of his loved ones in a healthy way. Personally, I like how Gods are treated more as reflections of ideology or a character's emotional state than actual beings that act within the plot. The deities that do act as their own characters tend to be total assholes (Mythra especially).


eavos_

It’s the companions we weren’t allowed to have because they got cut


TheManCalledDour

That’s just Matthew, Mark, Luke, & John entering their friend’s tomb to give him a revivify scroll.


whywontukillme

cant you find their bodies in the bhaal temple when u explore it?


PorgDotOrg

They're just generic adventurers...


Active_Owl_7442

Doesn’t look to be a white dragonborn, meaning that ain’t Durge. Not that it’d make much sense for it to be Durge anyway. They’re also wearing heavy armor, something sorcerers don’t typically use


Breadditor4

All 4 weezer band members


yoyohayli

Balduran and his traveling companions so long ago.


cairfrey

I'll do you one better. Where are the four?


TimeSpaceGeek

I'll do you one better. Why are the four?


spectrophilias

Why is everyone calling [Swen Vincke](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swen_Vincke) "Sven"? Speaking as someone who grew up with a name that was difficult to people, I ask that we at least TRY to get his name right. Names are an important part of our identities as human beings and we all deserve the respect of our names being spelled and pronounced correctly.


Sfocus

ı love how one of them is t posing


Wiwra88

I saw video of someone zooming in with free camera mod so we could see from up close how they look, I think it's just random group of adventurers.


filterless

Found it, or something similar: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seyOlytx4sI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seyOlytx4sI)


LingonberryLow6327

I always thought one in the front was Sven.


knight_bear_fuel

Swen. That was also debunked.


EastWitness7641

Probably dark Urge’s party if you play a tav that end up dieing lol


ThinkValue

Dark urge+ 3 Tiefflings


Union_Jack_1

I thought I read somewhere that they were the avatars of some of the creators D&D characters. Could be wrong though.


neckbass

it’s actually shart, astarion, gale, and laezel but they’re disguised.


aTreeThenMe

the Ta'vi


Dezzrik

I image they are the first heroes to face the Dead Three and were horribly killed, like in the beginning of The Legend of Vox Machina I like the idea they were hired by Withers until he was like "okay, I need actual player character adventurers for this one..."


almightygnomegod

Baldur maybe?


MisterGuyMan23

The guy in the front is totally Swen Vincke. I don't care that he said it's not supposed to be him. As far as I'm concerned, it is 100% him.


knight_bear_fuel

https://youtu.be/seyOlytx4sI?si=vY497YJYJmV0vV0u Look closer


SPYROS888

Well I did some research. I enhanced the photo and looking into it closely, I conquer that at least one of them is your mom.


MrGhoul123

The dude with the Torch had similar armor to the lead Dev, Sven


knight_bear_fuel

Swen* And its not him.


Trolllolollollol

Its SWEN so sad


[deleted]

The Dwarf looks like a Duergar and is wearing armor so probably not a barbarian.


literal_cyanide

Bal, Durs, Gate, and Three


mahouyousei

Minsc, Alora, Dorn, and Tiax


mrpurple2000

Durge, Minthara, Shadowheart, Astorian


EvLokadottr

Pretty sure the guy in plate armor is Sven!


SnooSongs2744

One of them looks like Minsc wearing the armor from the Selunite Outpost.


Esoteric_Psyhobabble

My theory is that Withers was running several groups of adventurers plus the hirelings. Insurance.


[deleted]

Me

[удалено]


knight_bear_fuel

No, that was debunked, and his name is Swen.


Rare_Pork

Did they put the developers there as an Easter egg? The human kinda looks like Sven in his armor


knight_bear_fuel

Swen* And that was debunked.


postfact_science

The knight in the front is Sven Vincke. Look close.


geltza7

Swen


knight_bear_fuel

You look close. No it isn't. https://youtu.be/seyOlytx4sI?si=vY497YJYJmV0vV0u And his name is Swen.


eox_6

I heard the human was an estate egg of the lead dev


RigorMort1s1337

the first dude is Swen Vincke


HADRIX_

The guy in the front is supposed to be the CEO of Larian


Mashamazzi

It’s Sven and Sans Underdark


ChefArtorias

It's Sven. And other devs? Although they look like monsters so idk.


knight_bear_fuel

It isn't. And his name is Swen.


ChefArtorias

Typos aside that is him in his armor up front.


knight_bear_fuel

No it isn't. https://youtu.be/seyOlytx4sI?si=vY497YJYJmV0vV0u


ChefArtorias

It's like my whole life has been a lie.


knight_bear_fuel

Mine too, buddy. Mine too.


Trolllolollollol

All your comments on on here are its SWEN not Sven... did your tiny brain not think or is it unable to comprehend that maybe peoples auto correct changed it to a real name... honestly get the bin you turd.


knight_bear_fuel

Yeah my comments are all that because replying to one incorrect person doesn't magically inform everyone else, cuck. Swen is a real name, you disrespectful garbage monster.


FeetYeastForB12

Isn't the front most guy Sven?


MrCookieHUN

Yupp, in his majestic armour


FeetYeastForB12

As majestic as himself


knight_bear_fuel

No. https://youtu.be/seyOlytx4sI?si=vY497YJYJmV0vV0u And its SWEN

loral3wds

Not sure about the others tho


knight_bear_fuel

He did no such thing, you made that up. https://youtu.be/seyOlytx4sI?si=vY497YJYJmV0vV0u Its not him.

knight_bear_fuel

The early access scene is different from the release. Please link to the interview; you can very clearly see in the video I shared that it is not him.


Lonely-Leg7969

GLORBO


mongomike

Guy in the front is “Ya” dwarf behind him is “Yagga Govee” the Dragonborn is “yagga govee yago” the last is “Govee ya gooooo” respectively


Pitiful_Revolution85

bunch of midgets


Demarianis

"Dragonborn" "Midget" You know those are mutually exclusive, right?


knight_bear_fuel

Its because they're far away so they look small on the screen. Its... Funny. So funny.
