All 248 characters used motion captured performances in Baldur’s Gate 3
Perhaps you’ve noticed there’s something extra spicy about the characters in Baldur’s Gate 3. It isn’t just amazing voice acting and amazing graphics, there’s something more; the characters are simply more alive than we’re used to seeing.
It crossed my mind that the main characters were almost certainly using motion capture data to enhance the animation—this is not at all uncommon today. Games like God of War, Jedi: Fallen Order, and The Last of Us all employed this technology.
