Baldur’s Gate 3, developed by the innovative Larian Studios, is being hailed as a landmark in RPG storytelling, featuring a cast of characters that are both complex and engaging. Among them is Lae’Zel, a fierce Githyanki warrior brought to life by the talented actress Devora Wilde. Even as the gaming world looks forward to new projects, Wilde expresses a strong desire to return to her iconic role, stating, “there’s still a lot to tell.”

In a recent interview with Italian news outlet Spazio Games, Wilde shared her deep connection with Lae’Zel, calling her a “perfectly written” character. Unlike some of her co-stars who may have improvised their lines, such as Neil Newbon with Astarion, Wilde felt no need to stray from the script, asserting that Lae’Zel’s character was already rich and complete.

According to Wilde, Lae’Zel’s distinctive personality—marked by her boldness and authenticity—resonated with her personally. “The character taught me that as a woman, it’s okay to be assertive,” Wilde said, emphasizing the importance of the character’s unapologetic attitude.

After spending a year away from the role, Wilde expressed her longing to step back into Lae’Zel’s shoes. “I really miss everything about her,” she admitted, highlighting a shared eagerness among her fellow cast members for potential future projects.

Wilde elaborated that Lae’Zel holds a wealth of untold stories. “There’s so much more to her backstory that remains unexplored,” she explained, noting that while some details are hinted at throughout the game, many aspects of her past are still shrouded in mystery. “I’m very curious to dive into her life before the events of the game,” she added.

With the acclaim Baldur's Gate 3 continues to receive, fans are left wondering if Larian Studios might consider expanding upon Lae’Zel’s narrative in upcoming downloadable content or a new installment. As discussions around the future of the franchise unfold, the anticipation for a deeper exploration of Lae’Zel’s character grows louder—and with it, Wilde’s undeniable enthusiasm for a character she has come to love.

Will Lae’Zel’s story be revisited in a new adventure? While Larian Studios has yet to announce plans, one thing remains clear: the demand for more Baldur’s Gate 3 content is at an all-time high, and fans like Wilde are eager to uncover the mysteries that lie ahead.
