Samantha working in IT explains how she can channel Karlach's rage so believably.

Karlach is the bestest person in game. She’s such a lovable character. She has a very intimidating appearance but she has a heart of gold.

Karlach's scene after you beat Gortash. Man, that was incredible acting. I don't know what awards she's eligible for but she needs to be nominated at least. ❤

Samantha doing a playthrough as Karlach is just a genuinely good content idea, its literally content no one else in the world can do.

It was a great decision to make Karlach less edgy than the other Origins. No hidden agenda, immediately lovable. It's a nice change of mood/dynamics.

Holy shit. She's genuinely as wonderful IRL as Karlach is in game.

Samantha killed it as Karlach! An absolute treasure of a character and performance.

"It's not a color-coded ending" DAMN! I fell out at that.

I play as a female character in these kinda games,just a preference. Canoodling with Karlach is so adorably wholesome at times,scary looking tiefling,yet tender.

I would 100% watch a let's play of Samantha playing Karlach, voice acting the part as she plays!

she is so funny as bard and rogue, "I am too big to sneak around"

Love that you're getting voice actors from BG3 on here. You always ask your guests good questions and they always seem to have a good time 😁

The performance of Karlach is some of the best acting I've ever seen in a game - god, even across all media. There was a late game moment that absolutely broke me from its sheer honesty, like an open wound.

Soldier! One of the darkest backstories, but one of the brightest spirits. Samantha definitely brought an amazing character to life

I love how straightforward and genuine Samantha is. I can see where she found some of the threads she needed to give Karlach a real voice. Thanks, Dan! Great questions!

Karlach is a ray of sunshine in the game. Thank you Samantha for bringing such a good character to life !

This is a great interview. Now we just need the voice actor for Shadowheart

karlach is a beast in this game I love how happy and ready she is to kill some goblins she's so cool

Karlach reaction on Gortash is peak acting skill, she was so intense that i felt everyting karlach was feeling even if she isn't real, she did such a great work
