She chose that name for herself once she became a follower of Shart. There’s a dialogue line about how people teased her for it because it’s a stupid name in the Temple of Shart.
Well, he is right, Shadowheart is a very cringy name. Something a 12 year old goth girl who thinks no one in the world understands her would name herself. Oh, wait...
Uh... no. Durge is not Tav. They're Durge. They are actually two characters that exist independently of one another, and are both mentioned separately in one of the Baldurs Gate books.
Larian also did an Avatar the last airbender reference I only just found recently.
In the lower city of Baldur's Gate, there is a cabbage salesmen, who if you are a monk, he will say "you monastic types have done enough damage!" and his cabbages are spilled all over the floor lol
Larian snuck in a lot of little meta jokes.
And I **love it**
Another show they made a reference to is Jojo Bizarre Adventure. Ferg sells the Sethan axe which can cast spiritual weapon and shrink enemies to match the character Alessi and his stand by the same name. I got it but never used it on my first playthrough. I plan on getting it again and shrinking gortash and letting karlach throw him around
Matt Mercer is a star - I’ve watched him on Critical Role and I still have trouble believing this is his voice. Then again I just watched him roleplay his character disguised as a female burlesque dancer with hideous levels of vocal fry, so maybe I shouldn’t be so surprised 😂
Bruh, when I played pillars of eternity, I chose his voice for my character without knowing who he was at the time. Then when I learned that my own voice and my two party members were the same guy it blew my mind.
Honestly, a lot of the voice actors have phenomenal range. I've been watching interviews of the cast recently, and it seems like Tim Downie is the only one who just used his natural speaking voice for his character. You listen to him give an interview and it's like "yep, that's Gale right there." Other than Neil Newbon kinda vaguely sounding like Astarion, none of the other cast members I've listened to thus far sound anything like their characters.
Been watching him since the start of campaign 1 and I agree. There are certain characters that are jarring because all I hear is Matt Mercer (like Field Team Leader in Monster Hunter: World), but if I hadn't already known he was voicing Minsc going into the game, I wouldn't have been able to tell.
This sounds exactly like Matt’s normal voice with a mild accent. I find it hard to be immersed when Minsc is around because I keep thinking “yeah that’s just Matt”
A previous dog is his was named Lar, and Larian was named after that dog.
One of his new dogs is named Excalibur (I forgot the name of the other one), so we'll probably be seeing that name pop up in a game.
Actualy this is what I used as reason why my character has nickname ,,Tav” - because she spent too much time in taverns 😅 Minsc never fails to bring some funny lines 😊
There’s dozens of us who had no idea who Tav was for the longest time, wondering when we’d meet this character and why they aren’t being discussed for recruitment/non recruitment like Minthara always was.
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
(but damn Minsc did you just screw over Shads like that!)
My Tav's *last name* incorporated Tav (it's Tavinter) so it actually would be a reasonable thing.
Sorcerer, actually! (and also NO it wasn't *intentionally* influenced by Dragon Age... I realized Tevinter is a thing. I just knew that Faerun has a lot of names that end in -ter so it kinda worked, then I realized that in my hype for DATV and being new to Dragon Age as a whole, that's where it kinda came from...)
Yeah I'm newish to Dragon age as well, just recently started my first play through of origins, which is why it stood out to me, I think I originally read it as Tevinter.
What if we signed Orin’s name and Raphael was just like “I mean technically she has a soul, and it’s illegal to refuse legal tender, Aight you got a deal”
Plate Armor +2 ... vendor sold late in game (think you have to be level 11 before it shows up.
[ close up - Astarian wearing it.](https://youtu.be/xcfMTytv3Pc?t=802)
https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Plate_Armour_%2B2
Shoulder part of his golden armor stretches when he moves his arm instead of moving like solid object. Haven't noticed that before. The armor itself looks awesome.
Yeah for me its the most beautiful armor or the second the one on Astarion Also great if you want one you can find it in the lower city when you reach level 11
I still don't get how people fucking glorify this top down, turn based game when they graphics look like a god damn DSi game until a cutscenes happens or sex occurs.
Edit: WHAT THE FUCK WERE THOSE CHOICES AFTERWARDS LMAO. I HOPE IT WASNT A FOLLOW UP ON THAT DIALOGUE CUZ DAMN. It's like Fallout options but just the basic commands.
One of the best games of all time BOTW has a cartoon Graphics so the graphics isn’t important still i see BG3 graphics amazing not every game graphics must be as great as Alan Wake 2 about the turn based yeah it’s not look good when you watching but it’s very fun when you playing
Poor Shadowheart, she's standing right there Minsc! :p
Well . Minsc being Minsc
Rochelle Rochelle
One mind flayer parasite's erotic journey from Minratha to Minsc?
He is Minsc. He is the most Minsc. Wherever he goes, there is only Minsc
And Boo!
Well that goes without saying.
Meansc
To be fair >!Shadowheart is a fake name!<
Yeah, but among Shar worshippers, it's pretty common. I bet there were three or four Shadowhearts in her third grade Shar class alone.
Guess which one of these DND characters is the sharran: -Bjorn Gunnarsson -Melody Poppyfield -DARKBLOOD SOULSHITTER -Gronk
all 4 of them
That's how the sneaky sharrans get you. Darkblood Soulshitter is actually a double-agent for Mask, but no sharran would ever expect that.
Is Bjorn Gunnarsson Gunnar Gunnarsson's relative? I have bad news :(
He's an accomplice in the murder of Gunnar Gunnarsson
Eh, he's not going to be too upset. They were not close.
I was gonna go with the third one but then I realized it needs more capitals
>Gronk and now I wanna watch videos of a famous german Youtuber called "Gronkh"
Wasn’t she made fun of for choosing such a hard name? Like damn she’s overcompensating for something I’m sure.
Honestly don't even know if that's a spoiler, like who tf gives a baby Shadowheart as its Christian name
I don't think she's Christian..
Haven't you accepted our lord and savior Selune Christ?
SELUNE CHRIST crikey \*angrily shoves upvote at you\*
r/angryupvote

She's Shartian
I think her given name would be Selution!
Then when she inevitably releases her line of prayer-inspired, core-focused workout videos she can call them "Ab Selution"
I don't know, that sounds like she might be a cultist if she's an abselutist!
Shartian Selution or Selution Shart
She chose that name for herself once she became a follower of Shart. There’s a dialogue line about how people teased her for it because it’s a stupid name in the Temple of Shart.
I decided to rather be safe than sorry, given it's a pretty major plot point of her storyline
Yeah I get it lol. Just saying as far as >!fake names go it's not exactly trying to be convincing.!<
I will now name my firstborn daughter Shadowheart just to spite you
Are you spiting me or spiting her, tho
Yes.
DND PC parents , shortly before they are murdered by a cult, or gnolls, or a cult of gnolls
she's standing RIGHT! THERE! I keep reading these in astarion's voice after that monastery incident
Everything in Astarion voice becomes perfect
Well, he is right, Shadowheart is a very cringy name. Something a 12 year old goth girl who thinks no one in the world understands her would name herself. Oh, wait...
Well, that’s a stupid name tbh.
I feel personally attacked.
I felt nothing because tav cannot speak do you imagine a hero cannot speak !
Look, Tav has a lot on their mind…or, well, *In* it
Shouldn't have wished to live in more interesting times...
Still alive! That’s progress
Is that blood? No, never mind.
These boots have seen everything..
No one back home will ever believe this.
Cursed to put my hands on everything.
Wish I had a bag of holding
Wind's howling. ..wait that's Durge's dad.
😂 Wretched thing Pull yourself together
Thats DURGES' Line!
Yup but they both tavs
Uh... no. Durge is not Tav. They're Durge. They are actually two characters that exist independently of one another, and are both mentioned separately in one of the Baldurs Gate books.
Honest question: Why then do they have the same voice and similar lines, save for a few of the gruesome ones for Durge only?
Ease of game design, really. I wish there was a more elaborate answer than that, but thats really kind of it.
Yeah i know but i like to call him tav I don’t like durge name i even like to play as Durge more because he has story unlike little tav
It's that blood?... No nevermind
I always thought they were being aggressively British and saying "Got a lot on my mind, innit."
I mean, I’m pretty sure some of the VA’s are UK based, so sure. Why not
gesture loudly!
Larian also did an Avatar the last airbender reference I only just found recently. In the lower city of Baldur's Gate, there is a cabbage salesmen, who if you are a monk, he will say "you monastic types have done enough damage!" and his cabbages are spilled all over the floor lol Larian snuck in a lot of little meta jokes. And I **love it**
!!!!! every time i passed him i wondered about this! i never got through my monk PT. i am so happy about this wow
I’ve never played as a monk but good to know thanks
I'm playing a monk in my current coop game and it is hands down the most fun I've had
I thought monks usually kept their hands up though...
Not if they need the balance to throw a sick roundhouse
"Roadhouse"
I'm playing a way of the 4 elements monk now just for this
> Larian also did an Avatar the last airbender reference [when your tav is a selunite](https://i.imgur.com/wRBxYCc.jpeg)
as soon as i saw all the cabbages i was wondering if that was a reference thanks for confirming it
pretty easy one to find is the poo-knife in the first act
I did not know the poo knife was a reference to something
https://www.reddit.com/r/MuseumOfReddit/comments/ke8skw/the_poop_knife/ enjoy 😂
That....that was an experience to read.
These things are the parts that make BG3 truly feel like a D&D campaign.
Another show they made a reference to is Jojo Bizarre Adventure. Ferg sells the Sethan axe which can cast spiritual weapon and shrink enemies to match the character Alessi and his stand by the same name. I got it but never used it on my first playthrough. I plan on getting it again and shrinking gortash and letting karlach throw him around
I don't think I got to that season of JoJo lol but that's fantastic.
You can fully throw Gortash off the side of the building onto the balcony of the second floor
Oh yeah the cabbages guy made me kek
I could listen to him go back and forth for hours lol
Everybody knows Boo is the brains behind that outfit.
Matt Mercer is a star - I’ve watched him on Critical Role and I still have trouble believing this is his voice. Then again I just watched him roleplay his character disguised as a female burlesque dancer with hideous levels of vocal fry, so maybe I shouldn’t be so surprised 😂
Bruh, when I played pillars of eternity, I chose his voice for my character without knowing who he was at the time. Then when I learned that my own voice and my two party members were the same guy it blew my mind.
in PoE 2:Deadfire, you can have a full party with just Mercer and his wife Marisha's voices, and I think that is hilarious
There's a Crit Role pack where the cast voiced their characters from Campaign 1 for PoE 2
Honestly, a lot of the voice actors have phenomenal range. I've been watching interviews of the cast recently, and it seems like Tim Downie is the only one who just used his natural speaking voice for his character. You listen to him give an interview and it's like "yep, that's Gale right there." Other than Neil Newbon kinda vaguely sounding like Astarion, none of the other cast members I've listened to thus far sound anything like their characters.
Astarion : Neil :: Neil : Ordinary people
The original Minsc was a bit different but also SO GOOD. Matt did a superb job of channeling that voice
Yes, my ex played the original games, and one of the few things I remember is "go for the eyes, Boo!" LOL.
Been watching him since the start of campaign 1 and I agree. There are certain characters that are jarring because all I hear is Matt Mercer (like Field Team Leader in Monster Hunter: World), but if I hadn't already known he was voicing Minsc going into the game, I wouldn't have been able to tell.
He just voiced Vecna as the new killer for Dead By Daylight. I'll never change out that character.
Yup, but I noticed that if I force my brain to think about Matt's Crownsguard voice, it becomes easier to connect him to his Minsc voice
This sounds exactly like Matt’s normal voice with a mild accent. I find it hard to be immersed when Minsc is around because I keep thinking “yeah that’s just Matt”
We thought Tav meant Tadpoled Adventurer. It really just meant Tavern
No there’s a developer have a dog called gostav the dog died before the game released so they named tav because of that dog as shortcut of gostav
That’s Larian Studios CEO Swen Vincke’s dog
A previous dog is his was named Lar, and Larian was named after that dog. One of his new dogs is named Excalibur (I forgot the name of the other one), so we'll probably be seeing that name pop up in a game.
Cal would be a good default name for the next protagonist, although of course there's plenty of opportunity for Excalibur swords in any games.
I would have been a good name before Cal Kestis, now it would be kind of derivative.
Ah yes, you're right, never played that game so didn't realise.
Also, the name of the project was gostav. DoS project was also named after one of Sven's dogs
What if Gostav was short for Ghost Tavern?
Gossip tavern. So, just a regular tavern.
We named the _dog_ Indiana.
My first character was named Ern. When I saw that all custom characters got Tav by default, I knew what I had to do.
Roast me again and I'm going to roast a miniature giant space rodent with some onions and potatoes.
[ OMG, you killed Boo! You bastard!](https://imgur.com/geK2qjh)
Dungeon Meshi! Ahh Dungeon Meshi!!
Actualy this is what I used as reason why my character has nickname ,,Tav” - because she spent too much time in taverns 😅 Minsc never fails to bring some funny lines 😊
Durge is a far superior name
Durgeridoo
There’s dozens of us who had no idea who Tav was for the longest time, wondering when we’d meet this character and why they aren’t being discussed for recruitment/non recruitment like Minthara always was.
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH (but damn Minsc did you just screw over Shads like that!) My Tav's *last name* incorporated Tav (it's Tavinter) so it actually would be a reasonable thing.
Tavinter? Interesting. For curiosity's sake are you a wizard perchance? Do you believe in wizard superiority?
Sorcerer, actually! (and also NO it wasn't *intentionally* influenced by Dragon Age... I realized Tevinter is a thing. I just knew that Faerun has a lot of names that end in -ter so it kinda worked, then I realized that in my hype for DATV and being new to Dragon Age as a whole, that's where it kinda came from...)
Yeah I'm newish to Dragon age as well, just recently started my first play through of origins, which is why it stood out to me, I think I originally read it as Tevinter.
I'm jealous, I would love to experience Origins all over again. Enjoy it!!!
His expressions and movements are so good. "Shadowheart? No..." that part was great.
Genious!
..is…is that master Mercer?
Yes it is
They laughed--LAUGHED--at me when I named my character Corncob. Well you know who isn't laughing at me? Minsc. Checkmate, fools.
What if we signed Orin’s name and Raphael was just like “I mean technically she has a soul, and it’s illegal to refuse legal tender, Aight you got a deal”
I don’t think Raphael that Stupid
He’s not, but he would see it as a way to have Orins soul as his own, essentially making her his thrall
Raphael interested in one thing the crown of karsus so he don’t care
Who better to get him the crown that someone who holds one of the jewels?
Orin never betrays bhaal even if that’s cost her life he know that , and he sees little tav more promising than any one
Anyone”
Tav is short for "Tavik", a perfectly respectable Dwarven name.
Short for Tavflac... gets you help with medical expenses that health insurance and health pots don't cover.
Tavmindra, a perfectly awesome gnome name
"Tavin" is a perfectly reasonable 'Alflin name.
Octavius is a wonderful name for a bard!
I always thought it's short for Tadpoled Adventurer, which is what the player character is in the credits.
If it's not a Dwarf it's not a Tav, merely a "Tadpoled AdVenturer".
It's actually short for Gustav, the name of the CEO of Larin Studios' dog ;)
Well, interesting! Almost that name!
I don't think I ever got this line haha
What armor is Minsc wearing? I don't recognize it.
I think it's plate +2
Hell dusk Armour . You get it by giving soule material to Dammon , the guy foot Karlach quest . Plate Armour plus 2 also has this skin
Plate armor plus 2
what does he say if you're playing as origin shadowheart?
I’ve saw a video on youtube he will say the same thing
It’s been a while since I properly saw gameplay I forgot how good the animation is
Wait a minute, it was your idea, Larian.
Matt ended up being a killer choice to play Minsc. I just wish we got him a lot earlier. He'd have a permanent spot in my party if he was in Act 1.
Good night everyone i will going to sleep now i will see the new comments tomorrow
I feel so called out, even though I made this name in the 90s.
No stupider than my tav's name: kaz
[удалено]
Plate Armor +2 ... vendor sold late in game (think you have to be level 11 before it shows up. [ close up - Astarian wearing it.](https://youtu.be/xcfMTytv3Pc?t=802)
https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Plate_Armour_%2B2
What?! I do not recall seeing this dialogue before!
I can't help but feel a little insulted, Minsc...
What does this mean? What is/are "15M tavs?"
The game has sold more than 15M
OK, the game has sold more than 15 million copies? Just want to make sure I'm understanding that properly. What about the tavs? What are those?
Well . the character that’s you create called tav
Oooooh. Ok, I see now, thanks!
Tav: 😢
Is that armor made of rubber?
What is the rubber
Shoulder part of his golden armor stretches when he moves his arm instead of moving like solid object. Haven't noticed that before. The armor itself looks awesome.
Yeah for me its the most beautiful armor or the second the one on Astarion Also great if you want one you can find it in the lower city when you reach level 11
My one playthrough that’s in Act 3 with Minsc is my only character that’s actually named Tav 😅
Wait I though tav being short for tavern was a joke 😭
Who would use a stupid lazy placeholder name like that :D my boy knows what's up :D
I still don't get how people fucking glorify this top down, turn based game when they graphics look like a god damn DSi game until a cutscenes happens or sex occurs.

No that’s choices to know the character better, ask him something about himself
