Devora Wilde, the voice actor behind Lae’zel, a character in Baldur’s Gate 3, has responded humorously to mean tweets about her character. Lae’zel is one of the game’s companions and has received criticism from players for her attitude and character traits.
In a TikTok video titled “Lae’zel from Baldur’s Gate 3 reads your mean tweets,” Devora Wilde recites some of the negative comments players have made about her character while in character herself. She uses a filter to make her appearance resemble a Githyanki, the race to which Lae’zel belongs.

The video includes comments such as, “I hate her attitude so much, but sadly my party needed some muscle,” to which Wilde responds, “That doesn’t sound very sad to me.” Another comment reads, “Lae’zel is the RPG party member equivalent of ‘the show gets really good after season 4.’ I’m glad she has an arc, but I’m not putting up with her shit for 10 hours for her to eventually, maybe, stop being an ass,” to which Wilde replies, “The feeling is mutual.”
Devora Wilde’s lighthearted response to the criticism has been well-received by fans, and it’s clear that she doesn’t take the negative comments to heart. The video highlights the passionate discussions and opinions that often surround characters in role-playing games.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is set to launch on September 6 for the PlayStation 5, and players can preload the game two days before its release. The game has generated significant interest among RPG enthusiasts and fans of the Dungeons & Dragons universe.
