The actor behind Lae’zel inBaldur’s Gate 3recently streamed the RPG in full Githyanki face paint, and almost murdered Astarion right in front of his actor.
Devora Wilde, who many now know as Lae’zel, has been streaming the Larian RPG over on herTwitch channeland recently took things a step further. After attacking druids, stealing idols, kicking the squirrel in atruly chaotic evil stream, andsleeping with Lae’zel while playing as Pink Lae’zel, Wilde decided to get in the Halloween spirit and dress up as her character by sporting Githyanki face paint in her latest stream.
The stream features all the antics we expect of Wilde now, including offering Gale up to Astarion before plotting to murder the companion very quickly after. What Lae’zel’s actor probably didn’t anticipate, though, was Astarion himself joining the stream via the chat. “We’ve got Neil [Newbon] in that chat now,” one of Wilde’s moderators tells her, as Wilde bursts out laughing before saying: “Neil! Nothing happened, I swear! Actually, nothing did happen… yet.”
Surprisingly, Newbon wasn’t the only Baldur’s Gate 3 companion to join Wilde’s stream. Shortly after Astarion’s entrance, Samantha Béart aka Karlach hopped into the chat with a simple “Oi oi” to her fellow castmates and fans. “Hey Sam and hey Neil!” Wilde responded upon hearing the news. I wonder if the two actors expected to find Wilde in face paint.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I’m also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
