Baldur’s Gate 3 features a robust narrator that essentially takes on the role similar to a Dungeon Master in D&D. The narrator joins the player parties. However, their contribution is similar to that of a medieval Bard — recounting the stories and heroic acts of the battles past and advising the players yet not contributing to the gameplay in any way, form, or shape.
The narrator for Baldur’s Gate 3 is voiced by a prominent voice actor, Amelia Tyler.
Who is Amelia Tyler?
Amelia Tyler is the stage name adopted by English voice actor Emily Morris.
Born in Warwickshire, Amelia began her journey as an actor on stage. After appearing in several plays at the local theater, she got her first job as a voice-over actor at the age of 5. Eventually, she started appearing in television shows, such as Verdict (on BBC) and Boon (on ITV). At the age of 16, she became the youngest person to be accepted for a full year course at the prestigious National Youth Theatre of Great Britain.
Amelia Tyler has lent her talents to voice more than 50 video games in her career. She has also appeared in one of Larian Studios’ earlier games – Divinity: Original Sin II. In the second installment of Divinity, Amelia has voiced the character of Malady, a half-demon, half-elvish NPC.
